Hello, I wanted to move the lower case hard sign of the phonetic cyrillic layout away from the often used underscore character. I also found that the capital hard sign was missing. So instead of the upper row of Ю!@ёЁ%^&*()ъЧ ю1234567890-ч I came up with Ч!@ъЪёЁ&*()_Ю ч1234567890-ю My swapping of CHE and YU was an attempt to tie the alphabetically close letters together (Ю close to Э). I changed the location of ё and Ё because I assumed that the hard sign was to occur more frequently than YO. I will be attaching the diff file shortly. Regards, -- Ilguiz

Ilguiz, two things: 1. What is the "phonetic" layout in Windows? Is it like yours - or like existing one? 2. Would it be possible to define "phonetic2" as "phonetic" + "smth" - i.e. use "include" statement
(In reply to comment #2) > 1. What is the "phonetic" layout in Windows? Is it like yours - or like existing > one? Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't seem to provide a phonetic Cyrillic layout, according to its web site, http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/keyboards.mspx There isn't a grass-root standard either. The list of various layouts at http://klava.ruswin.net/ doesn't refer to any phonetic layout as preferred or "official". > 2. Would it be possible to define "phonetic2" as "phonetic" + "smth" - i.e. use > "include" statement I figured most of my changes weren't justified enough. So I am suggesting to only take the lower case hard sign off the underscore and include the upper case hard sign. The existing variant "phonetic" could be changed because the modification is affecting only one original placement. A patch is attached. It would be nice to move che/CHE away from the plus/equals button. E.g., these letters could reside on top of 7 and 8.

Well, syntactically this patch is ok. Are you sure people using ru(phonetic) would be happy to lose the percent sign (I don't care too much about asciicircum)? Also, actually, http://klava.ruswin.net/ gives keys 6 and 7 for the hardsign, not 5 and 6 - are your sure your patch is right?
