Looking forward to getting one patch, as usual;) Regarding the complex characters - if Compose cannot do it, the only way is to fallback to Input Methods... Created attachment 5107 [details] [review] patch to base.xml.in to add Congo (Kinshasa) kbd layout I haven't got any bad feedback. Here's the keyboard layout for Congo Kinshasa. We will probably add variants later on. Created attachment 5108 [details]
the keyboard layout definition
the symbols/cd file
The patches look generally ok. Just a question - can Congo (Kinshasa) be used as cd default variant? So I would just call it "Congo"? If not - which variant would be default? You can use "Congo (Kinshasa)" or "Congo, Democratic Republic of the". The official name is "Democratic Republic of the Congo" but the other is commonly used. Don't use "Congo" by itself since that also refers to the other Congo, the Congo (Brazzaville) a.k.a. Republic of the Congo. Good! That's what I asked. I'll commit it ASAP. committed. reopening for revision. Created attachment 9401 [details] [review] making the keyboard AZERTY proper This patch makes the keyboard layout azerty proper instead of awerty: swapping 'w' and 'z'. The academic spelling doesn't required w in that position. The patched keyboard layout is closer to the very common French keyboard used in the Congo. Created attachment 9403 [details] [review] left out asciicircumflex and at in previous patch This is an additional patch, completing the last one. Created attachment 9404 [details] [review] cumultative (including two previous) + punctuation Here's a cumulative patch (including the two previous). - swapping 'w' and 'z' to match AZERTY - adding '@' and '^' on keys were physically visible on most common keyboards - using layout of most common physical keyboard for punctuation Thanks, committed. Created attachment 9438 [details] [review] making AZERTY proper I had left out the swapping of Z and W in the previous patch. (In reply to comment #13) > Created an attachment (id=9438) [details] > making AZERTY proper > > I had left out the swapping of Z and W in the previous patch. > No problem, Denis, I'll commit it ASAP.
