Bug 11246

> I'm sorry, I don't know how to add

There is "Create a New Attachment" Link just below the bug header info;)

Anyway, I can see your code. The question is - why do you use Unicode hexcodes? Are you 100% sure there are no X symbols which would be suitable? Could you please double-check with keysymdef.h file.

Thanks

Chuvash keyboard layout with X symbols

The new version is definitely better. What about the symbols for AD03?

I suppose, there is no X symbol for AD03 :( I will try to find it...

I have found keysymdef.h It's pity, but there is no ӳ 0x010004f3....

Could we add this character ӳ 0x010004f3 to the keysymdef.h ?
It is called CAPITAL CYRILLIC LETTER WITH DOUBLE ACUTE
SMALL CYRILLIC LETTER WITH DOUBLE ACUTE

Ok, let it be the way it is. Thanks, committed to CVS.

Modifying keysymdef.h is beyond my responsibility. I'd advise writing to xorg maillist. There, you'll find guys who are authorized to make changes to that very important header file.

I would wait with the idea to modify the keysemdef.h file....

Thank you very much for commiting the Chuvash keyboard layout file....

Does it mean that the Chuvash keyboard layout is available in the next release of XKB? 

If so, it's great! Thank you very much, Sergey!

That's up to you:)

Yes, next release of xkeyboard-config will have your file included.

As I said the submitted keyboard layout is official. There is a Chuvash Latin Alphabet has established in the Internet.... I added the code to .../xkb/symbols/en in my computer... I could write it as a type of "Russia"...
Could we commit this file? Or are only the official alphabets allowed?

I would prefer to have ru(cv_latin). Is that layout really widely used?

PS Though as Russian I am not excited about latin layouts used by some republics inside Russia - but it is just my personal opinion

Well, I think widely. The latin alphabet is better suited for the Chuvash sound system. The first dictionaries of Chuvash were done in latin script. (Paasonen, Räsenen: Finnish-Chuvash, Turkish-Chuvash)

I know, it's a no easy political question. I don't want see at it as at something political. I want to enable an easy input in Chuvash on Linux both for Officials and Latinists. 

As I wrote, I and my friends want to add the Chuvash Latin Alphabet. It is widely used for conversation, linguistical and historical researches.

Chuvash Latin Alphabet with X symbols

here is the code the Chuvash Latin Alphabet

Thanks, committed!

I just noticed - there is no symbols ebreve/Ebreve in XKB. Could you please do something about it - replace with other symbols? Thanks

Hi Sergey: I founded the code instead for ebreve, Ebreve. We must replace this line:
    key        <AD05> {        [      Cyrillic_ie,     Cyrillic_IE,
                       ebreve,	Ebreve     ]       };

TO THIS:
    key        <AD05> {        [      Cyrillic_ie,     Cyrillic_IE,
                       0x01000115,	0x01000114     ]       };

there are problems with ebreve, Ebreve. Thats why I would reopen this bug...

Thanks, that's better. Committed.

Thank you, Sergey

Hi, I installed Ubuntu 7.10 I hoped there is a Chuvash Keyboard Layout. My friends hoped too. But there is no Chuvash Keyboard Layout. How to explain it for my friends? When is the next official release for X Windows?

gutsy is using xkeyboard-config (released back in October 2006!), while Chuvash layout is in xkeyboard-config 0.9 (released in September 2007). I think you should file a bug in Ubuntu's launchpad.

This keyboard layout uses some replacement letters: ebreve, abreve and ccedilla. Now when Cyrilic diacritical letters are supported in most devices, we should use the three letters. I have written a blog post about it http://chuvash.eu/2014/04/13/it-is-time-to-standardize-the-chuvash-keyboard-layout/ . This should be like this:

// Chuvash language layout
// Anatoly Mironov @mirontoli
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "cv" {
    include "ru(winkeys)"
 
    name[Group1]= "Chuvash";
 
    key.type[group1]="FOUR_LEVEL";
 
    key        <AD03> {        [      Cyrillic_u, Cyrillic_U,
                            0x010004f3,    0x010004f2      ]       };
    key        <AD05> {        [      Cyrillic_ie,     Cyrillic_IE,
                       0x010004d7,  0x010004d6     ]       };
    key        <AC04> {        [      Cyrillic_a, Cyrillic_A,
                          0x010004d1,  0x010004d0      ]       };
    key        <AB03> {        [      Cyrillic_es,     Cyrillic_ES,
                            0x010004ab,    0x010004aa      ]       };
 
    include "level3(ralt_switch)"
};

Should I create a new bug, or should I reopen this one?

Let's reopen this one. Will you be able to attach a new patch?

fixed in git

> fixed in git

Sorry for a late answer. Thank you very much Sergey for adding it to the git source and adjusting the unicode characters (0x010004f3 -> U04F3). I can even confirm that it works on Ubuntu 14.04.
