Cmk-CkAW-_@K is not wide #76

Closed laMudri closed 10 months ago

laMudri commented 10 months ago

Starting with the layout specified in ./Layouts/Colemak/Cmk-eD/Cmk-eD_ISO_CurlAWide/Layout.ini, I adapted the instructions given in https://forum.colemak.com/topic/2955-customizing-epkl-cmkedisocurlawidesym/#p25013 to the non-sym variant. I added a k between the C and A in line 31, and nothing else. However, despite the name, the layout this produced was non-wide – i.e, the key labelled J produced an n, where I would expect a k. I tried to find out why this would be, but I got lost in all the remap definitions.

Yes, remap definitions can get complex. Sorry about that!

The Cmk-CkAW_@K remap should work exactly like the Cmk-CAW-_@K one, except with DHk instead of the standard DHm. And to me it looks as if you did it right. Well, almost. Due to a minor syntax error, you got no working remap at all and ended up with vanilla Colemak.

Turns out I had omitted the hyphen after AW for the CkAW(-) one. That hyphen means no Sym mod, so it ought to be there. I've pushed a fix commit just now. Either update and recompile your EPKL.exe, or re-edit your file so it's Cmk-CkAW_ not Cmk-CkAW-_.

It's easy to miss a hyphen, of course. But after the fix, the naming should be consistent.

Note that you can now make and edit a Layout_Override.ini file instead of the original Layout.ini file. You could add just your remap change there, under a [pkl] section. That way, you keep your edits clean and visible, and it'll be robust towards any future updates I make to the Layout.ini file.
