Add the "iberoamericano español" keymap #80

Closed silash35 closed 2 years ago

silash35 commented 2 years ago

(feature request)

Hello, I have a friend from Spain who is learning to use Linux now. It's just that he's missing a very specific keymap called IberAmEs (iberoamerican español Keyboard Layout) that he's used to using.

I tried to create a keyboard layout of my own, but all my attempts failed (My distribution is Manjaro). So I decided to research which project is responsible for keyboard layouts in Linux and I got here.

Can you please add this layout? All the information I got about the layout is described on these two pages.

I do not speak Spanish. I can check the pull-request and apply it.

Give me the weekend and I'll have a first working version of a .map — tell your friend to get ready for testing.

thank you very much. I already told my friend and he was very happy to know that soon he will be able to use his favorite layout.

But I was wondering here, is the layout creator, a guy named Miguel Farah, going to be mad? I don't know him and I don't understand anything about intellectual property laws. I know he distributes the layout for free for Windows, so maybe just putting the credits is enough.

If you want, I can try to contact him and ask for permission (On his website).

All keymaps are supplied under the same license as the main project. The exception is keymaps that have an explicit license.

Dude, look at my name. ;-)

I wasn't expecting this lol

Wait a minute, am I on the wrong project?

It seems that XKB is responsible for taking care of layouts on Linux, not KBD.

I still don't quite understand the difference between the two projects. But I think I should close the Issue and stop bothering you

Sorry for the inconvenience, really.
