Cmk-eD-BeCaFr - First row does not work properly with an azerty keyboard #37

Closed bistace closed 2 years ago

bistace commented 2 years ago

Hello, I am trying to learn the Cmk-eD-BeCaFr layout but the first row does not print the correct characters when in an unshifted state. Indeed, instead of numbers, here is what it prints for numbers 1 to 0 (left is expected and right is the one actually printed):

1 = &
2 = é 
3 = "
4 = '
5 = (
6 = -
= = =
7 = è
8 = _
9 = ç
0 = à

I guess that this is because keycodes in the .ini file are not correct for an azerty keyboard. Could you please help me out?

Ah, you need to make sure you don't have VK mappings in your BaseLayout (they look like ## entries).

Find the line baseLayout = Colemak\BaseLayout_Cmk-eD in your layout.ini, and change the BaseLayout to BaseLayout_Cmk-eD_VK-None. This will make your mappings work, but unfortunately the number keys will no longer work with Win key shortcuts. You can't have both it seems.
