[PersianComputing] Re: [farsiweb] New keyboard layout for Windows
Oops! 2. This is a Windows feature: Ctrl+Shift will act like AltGr/right Alt. If you have shortcut keys assigned to them, they may start to act in a weird way. The truth is Ctrl+Alt act as AltGr (right Alt). -- Behnam Esfahbod ..[ http://esfahbod.info | behnam(a)esfahbod.info ] ___ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
[PersianComputing] Persian Standard Keyboard Layout keymap for Vim
We have created the Persian-Iranian keymap file for Vim based on Persian
Standard Keyboard Layout.
As utf-8 is the only encoding for Persian on Linux, we have implemented
this layout only in utf-8.
Known Bugs:
- AltGr isn't supported, cause of there is no AltGr in US keyboard.
- Shift+Space doesn't work; you should use Shift-B for ZWNJ.
Newbie Instruction:
- Copy these two files to /usr/share/vim/vim6x/keymap/
- Use
:set keymap=persian
in Vim command mode, or append it to ~/.vimrc
Have fun...

All characters are given literally, conversion to another encoding (e.g.,
UTF-8) should work.
