modmap in custom keyboard layout

[Joppla]

Hello,

Realy nice keyboard. Compliments.

I was experimenting a bit with the custom keyboard. I try to use modmap to use the fn key in other way. But till now it doesn't what I suspect.

Questions Can I use the modmap tag within the custom keybord? Where to place the modmap tag?

Thanks for reaction.

Hi,

The modmap is placed at the same levels as the rows, for example starting from the qwerty US layout:

<keyboard name="QWERTY (US)" script="latin">
  <modmap>
    <fn a="~" b="≈"/>
    <fn a="=" b="≠"/>
  </modmap>
  <row>
    <key key0="q" key2="1" key4="loc esc"/>
    <key key0="w" key1="~" key2="2" key3="\@"/>
    <key key0="e" key1="!" key2="3" key3="\#" key4="loc €"/>
    <key key0="r" key2="4" key3="$" key1="loc ₪"/>
    <key key0="t" key2="5" key3="%"/>
    <key key0="y" key2="6" key3="^"/>
    <key key0="u" key2="7" key3="&amp;"/>
    <key key0="i" key2="8" key3="*"/>
    <key key0="o" key1="loc accent_macron" key2="9" key3="(" key4=")"/>
    <key key0="p" key2="0"/>
  </row>
  ... The rest
</keyboard>

@JapanYoshi It's possible to map Fn since last release.

Hi, Thank for reaction. I thought it should be something like that, but only the original replacement with æ en ₱ for a and b is shown.

This is my code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

This means that "~" should be changed into "≈" when Fn is pressed:

<fn a="~" b="≈"/>

It's not related to the "a" and "b" keys, "a" and "b" are the XML attributes for "from" and "to".

Thanks! Now I understand it! 😀

Hi, Just another question for the same subject.

If in the default layout for example is written: <fn a="e" b="€" /> but I don't want to change it in my layout, is than the only way to undo it to make the rule: <fn a="e" b="e" />? Or is there another way?

[Spike-from-NH]

If you have a custom layout file, it should be sufficient to remove the existing rule, rather than write a new rule to countermand it.

[Julow]

Fn+e gives € and the only way to disable that is to explicitly revert it as you did.

Thanks!

Now mentioned in the draft documentation.
