[SOLVED] xmodmap: Creating a Cherokee Keyboard:

**Mol_Bolom** · 09-20-2008

I've been searching on the net for a while and haven't found anything that would help with creating a keyboard layout from scratch.
Would anyone know where I can find an xmodmap howto, etc that would give an extremely detailed explanation on how to do this?

**Mol_Bolom** · 10-07-2008

Here is one url that I've been looking at The Linux Danish/International HOWTO: Keyboard setup...

I've also been looking over the xkb files and, well, I'm stumped yet again...

I copied the spanish symbol file es to the file che (Cherokee) and am preparing to start working on it, but I still don't quite get what I'm supposed to do...

Do I need to recreate other files in any of the other directories in xkb, also? Is there anything that I'm missing or just not seeing?

The Cherokee alphabet has 85 letters, so I will be using dead keys quite a bit, if it's possible. Such as t+a will give the letter ta, q+w+a will yield the letter kwa, t+l+v will yield the letter tlv, etc, etc...

<ᎥᏉᏪᎶᏅᎢ ᎯᎠ: Edit>

This is the best I can do as of this moment. So far all one has to do is add this in place of the xkb_symbols "basic" block in the us symbol file (Mine is located at /etc/X11/xkb/symbols) and edit the xorg.conf so that the keyboard layout is loaded.

This is how I have my xorg.conf setup...

Code:

Option     "XkbLayout"     "us, usche"

usche is the us symbol file edited with the Cherokee layout.

Then you can use the Keyboard layout switcher to switch between layouts. Note: I don't know if this will work on other window managers as of yet, but I know it works well with xfce...

Have you tried starting off with the US International keyboard set?

It has "dead" keys, that allow combining multiple keystrokes to produce a single glyph.

FYI: Ꮐ (nah) isn't encoded on your keyboard map.

ᏩᏙ!

**Mol_Bolom** · 12-28-2008

I haven't yet figured it all out. Nor have I yet figured out where and how the dead keys are defined.
An example is in the keysymdefs.h file there is

Code:

#define XK_dead_acute       0xfe51

And in the us symbol file

Code:

key <AC11> { [dead_acute, dead_diaresis, apostrophe,  quotedbl  ]  };

In all the programs I've ever used for creating keyboard layouts, I would guess there would have to be a file that would state that dead_acute+a = á and dead_acute+e = é, so on and so forth, but haven't found them yet.

Most other posts and information I've found has been geared towards using other preinstalled keyboard layouts and almost nothing about creating a whole new layout, such as modifying the dead keys. I'm going to try and read through the XKBproto.pdf file again and see if I can understand it better this time around.

It's still a work in progress, and I'm still too much of a noob to figure out a lot of it.

FYI: Ꮐ (nah) isn't encoded on your keyboard map.

Woops...I tried to make sure that letter was in the layout, guess I over looked it. I'll make the changes and add it to the 1 key.

ᏩᏙ ᏩᏯ.

**waya** · 12-28-2008

There is another keyboard layout that has Ꮐ (nah) encoded in place of the mysterious "accent" that is on the CNA layout. (The backtick/Unshifted).

FYI: On Ubuntu there seems to already be a Cherokee keyboard layout, is this the one you created?

**Mol_Bolom** · 12-28-2008

Huh...I didn't know there was one on Ubuntu. I'm using Zenwalk and might move to Slackware once I get good at using linux.

I'm going to check that one out...

<edit> Couldn't find it, but I did find where someone was trying to use dead keys, and I am going through the compose directories, make a few adjustments and see what happens...*fingers crossed*...

**waya** · 12-28-2008

This one also does not encode Ꮐ (nah), I use the "unicode" input keystroke of: ctrl-shift-u, 13c0 [enter], to put it in.

The Cherokee "group" is listed last in the file.

// It is important to have access to punctuation marks, and the rest of
