International #12

Open nMustaki opened 10 years ago

nMustaki commented 10 years ago

Hi, I wanted to try minimak, but I need to use the international variant, is it as simple as replacing "include us(base)" by "include "us(alt-intl)" ?

Thanks you !

I believe it should be that simple then, yes. Give it a try. If there are alternate characters (e.g. Alt-gr characters) bound to the Minimak keys, then you'll have to probably add those to the Minimak bindings.

Also note that Minimak is designed for English usage, which means that the key mappings will only be good for you if your language has similar key frequencies as English. It's usefulness may or may not be good for your language.

I put together a PR, but I am not 100% confident about the UK international part.

I work mainly in English (programming), so I'm willing to lose some effiency in others languages.

This looks promising, however I don't want to merge the pull request because of the massive number of whitespace changes in the files. Since these are system files that, right or wrong, have lots of whitespace issues, they can't be corrected or else you lose the ability to legibly diff the file against the system file in the future. It's important to be able to do that since this file needs to incorporate any future changes to the system file. Sorry I can't pull as is.
