Hello again everyone, Here's the new version with the accent symbols listed below added. But the way to use it is the Unicode-way (letter first, then accent after).
*To type:* combining tilde as in "ng̃": g then AltGr+Shift+~ combining acute as in "Pahilís": i then AltGr+' combining grave as in "Paiwà": a then AltGr+` combining circumflex as in "Pakupyâ": a then AltGr+y (just below number 6 [which has the non-combining ^ character]) The four changes above are not ISO-based, I moved them to where I think we're already familiar with exception of ^ which is in AltGr+y (which is also easier to access than the number 6). *Other changes in this version (v3.4)* - changed all codings from XKB Keysyms to Unicode hexadecimal for greater compatibility with non-US standard (physical) keyboard models/designs. - added more extra characters To see the keymappings, just open the attached file in your favorite Unicode text editor. Wanted: feedbacks Do try to use it, as in, install then type away (I suggest getting an /ancient/ :þ Philippine book in any Philippine language). ~ JC On Monday, 11 October, 2010 01:37 PM, Pablo Manalastas wrote: > I believe that any Filipino keyboard has to have provisions for > accenting words.
