Hello all, I have been trying to create a Greek keyboard layout for my new Freerunner, running SHR-unstable. I have followed the wiki instructions and created a qwerty-like layout for the Greek alphabet, but I'm having trouble selecting the proper way to implement accented characters (i.e. ά,έ and the like).
From the mailing list archives I understand the original intention was for accents to be handled by the dictionary, by stripping accents before matching. I have installed a Greek dictionary from Ooo, but it appears that Greek accents are not stripped, making this approach useless to me: only unaccented words are properly matched. This leaves me with two options: (1) Provide an extra keyboard layout for accented characters, similar to the Latin-1 accents found in the Numbers layout This would be easy to do, but very inconvenient, as almost all Greek words are accented. (2) Hijack the caps-lock modifier for accented characters. This is somewhat problematic because, apart from being a cludge, capital letters can also be accented, so I need to be able to input both ά and Ά. Some letters also have two accented forms, e.g. ί and ΐ, so the caps-lock layout would turn into a real mess. Does anyone have any suggestions?
