I really like http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/59b8d3798a51d7b42872963c7cba7071 Its so clear I could instantly see all the symbols - so "mental mappings" are irrelevant. Its a shame a very vocal minority will slap this down so they can run some 30+ year old software...

ere - if this is an open platform where's the proposed keyboard circuit (the layout of the switch matrix would a great help alone)....

My thumb typing on tablets doesn't have any "muscle memory" from a full sized keyboard, just because a full sized keyboard does it that way is no justification for doing it on a smaller keyboard, potentially quite the reverse!

call me a worry wart, but I'm still not convinced about bunching all those symbols { [ \ etc on the right side is going to work - it just looks like a difficult to use mistake - hope I'm wrong....

...well its not like I'd ever take the perverbial now is it?....

Perhaps Sir would prefer a nice shiny ooh looook shiny iPhone...? Multilingual support is no hardship if done properly and for a pan European product basically essential (I suppose we'll have to let a few yanks own one too :-p )

I'm a co-developer of X-tile - amongst other things Its a python applet to tile windows, I ended up doing a lot of low-level X11 C library calls, so it ended up teaching me a lot (more that I maybe wanted!) about X11 at such a low level. Changing keymaps "on the fly" is certainly possible, and...

Is there a technical reason f11/12 cant be with the other like backspace/return ? Are the square brackets or curly braces under meta shift? I'd have thought curly braces more used than square ? While email/letter writing is possibly more popular than coding, having all those coding symbols on...

I only need English so I'm alright jack? We can and absolutely should accommodate the main European languages (at least) especially given that in many cases its surprisingly few extra characters that's needed.

ROFL I doubt its even middle aged... No wonder ED's gone radio silent on keyboards if he's any sense he's hiding till it all blows over this time next year without any clear consensus, so he can make his own mind up....

How about f11/12 on backspace/return ? [ or is it { looks like it could be a little difficult to perform, it would depend on how chordable two keys next to each other end up being similarly other groupings of important symbols +/= _/- why not group € and £ together? É/È

You cannot go by the number of speakers for a language 1350 million Chinese speakers.... v's "only" 1200 English speakers.... There are clearly some other criteria here!

Why not? there's no reason for it not to - in fact it *really* should have its own key code....

You cannot expect to do it with a simple keymap to keymap lookup table... Instead you need to monitor Key up/down events and then translate these events into a set of events that would happen if you were using a "real" US keyboard. For example the user on some custom keyboard does some vulcan...

Okay I'm gonna say it (at the risk of the Inquisition arriving) DosBox games hurt my eyes make my ears bleed and are usually difficult to control. I'd far rather be playing a nice SNES game or GBA or almost any other platform - when I'm not coding. And yes this is my particular use case but...

Or you could have a "normal" keymap and a dosbox keymap - with a little stencil/overlay you pop over the keyboard so you can see where the dosbox keys are. Another advantage of this you would only have one primary single unshifted symbol on each key... Making for a very clean keymat

"fix" DosBox not the hardware... The hardware at its lowest level should only ever report exactly what actually happens - if some emulator doesn't work with a particular platform then you port it, not bodge the next release of hardware to suit just one piece of software! (porting isn't just...

Its so over complex you're almost certainly not voting like you think you are - these things are near impossible to get right and even then of dubious validity

One has around 40 keys the other has around 100 keys. This significant difference dictates you don't treat or expect them to be identical almost by definition. Using (a single) symbol on letter keys is perfectly valid

Where on a *completely* different device with ~60% more keys?
