Open pppest opened 2 years ago

pppest commented 2 years ago

I have added some chars to the /layouts/keyboards/system76/launch_1/keymap.json and to the picker.json and they correct show in the configurator gui but nothing is typed when I use them. where do I add the chars so they not only will be show in the app but can also be used? thanks!

launch_config_other_kayes

from keymap.json: " "MS_ACCEL2": 255, "Å": 666, "Æ": 667, "Ø": 668, "KBD_TOGGLE": 23747, "RGB_MODE_FORWARD": 23748, "RGB_MODE_REVERSE": 23749, "

from picker.json: " { "label": "Other Alphabet keys", "cols": 3, "width": 1, "keys": [ { "keysym": "Å", "label": "Å" }, { "keysym": "Æ", "label": "Æ" }, { "keysym": "Ø", "label": "Ø" } ] },"

I have tried using xev to find the keysum and using those but then the chars dont show up on the configurator

I believe you would do this from the OS not the configurator software. For example holding Left Alt then pressing the key would give you that letter.

I want to map chars to the diff layers. what else are they there for? so I am looking for a way to use those extra layers, add special chars to them. there must be a way.
