Where are these?

[GitAlasGo]

This is the keys, that i want showing up in the arabic keyboard: https://imgur.com/a/jhd5uKT

I could add them in the custom keys, but the problem is that they're not noticeable.

Maybe i'm missing something obvious?

Also i'm a beginner in arabic, so i won't be able to read any arabic replies.

These are missing from the keyboard entirely. Do you have the unicode number for all of these ?

Done in https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard/pull/807. Can you try the debug build at the end of this page to see if they are all working correctly ?

It's working, and there's finally a circle under them.

That little circle doesn't appear, if i add them to the Custom keys

@Julow How do i make the Arabic diacritics only show up in arabic layouts?

It's showing the diacritics on every other layout like english, the Arabic diacritics are basically useless in english layout.

Good catch! To fix this bug, the easiest way would be to add the diacritics into the layouts directly and not in the settings. Do you think you could update the layouts ? The layouts are here: https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard/tree/master/srcs/layouts

I saw there are other arabic layout, but i'ma do them later, and then send them here again.

Thanks :) In https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard/pull/807 I'm adding Fn combos for some of these with @anaskaejdar To avoid cluttering the layout with all the diacritics, do you think more Fn combos could be added ?

@Julow I'm struggling to understand, where to add more letters to the fn

I went to check the commit and i saw arabic.json, fn.json i forked the repo, since i'm on a phone, and github can compile them for me.

I changed a few things in these files, but when i test them i don't see any changes.

I saw a few diacritics in the FN, but not all the diacritics are there.

Sorry if this sounds dumb, i'm not a programmer.

[anaskaejdar]

@GitAlasGo Yes my friend, the FN part simply swaps the diacritics for their full-letter counterparts and vise versa, so if you already have ێ on the keyboard, FN will turn it into its diacritic equivalent, kasra, and if you already have kasra on your keyboard, FN will turn it into ێ

But if you have neither, it's not Fn you want, but rather the Compose key (right next to the enter key on the bottom right)

Press compose, then press ي twice to get kasra Press compose, then press ه twice to get fatha Press compose, then press و twice to get damma Press compose, then press ا twice to get small-alef-above Press compose, then press ح twice to get sukun

And for the nasalized versions, press the same letter only once, and then press ن

Notable exceptions (for arabic): Fn+ة will also get you the fatha Fn+ئ will also get you hamze-above

Also, there are some other diacritics you can get by pressing Compose, then pressing either ۷ or ۸; for instance, small-alef-below, hamze-below, or the V-shaped diacritics
