Is there any way to change the keyboard map to indic languages like Hindi, Sanskrit or Kannada? I see there is no way to shift the keymap to these languages. Any help would be appreciated.
You could combine two scripts into one keymap, and switch between languages with CapsLock. Here’s an example of combining US and Russian keymaps into one keymap: US-Russian.keymap · GitHub.
It’s a somewhat hacky approach, but it works well in practice.
I have asked aboutthis earlier…you can search the forums
Solution that was given to me is rather laborious or unviable
Thanks for the suggestion. Can you please tell me where do you hex codes ? Any help to create keyboard layouts in Haiku is appreciated. And I hope there is unicode support in Haiku.
These codes seem to be UTF-8 encodings. For example, consider this line
Key 0x4c = 'z' 'Z' 0x1a '' '' 0xd18f 0xd0af '' ''
In Russian layout there are letters я and Я in this place. Here are descriptions of these symbols:
- “я” U+044F Cyrillic Small Letter Ya Unicode Character
- “Я” U+042F Cyrillic Capital Letter Ya Unicode Character
0xd18f and 0xd0af match 0xD1 0x8F and 0xD0 0xAF UTF-8 encodings listed in this descriptions.
Any help to create keyboard layouts in Haiku is appreciated.
I would need a map between latin characters and the corresponding characters in the new layout. Something like this:
a ф
A Ф
s ы
S Ы
