Arduino Keyboard library > 1.0.3 include support for multiple layout

[RobertoD91]

Maybe we can just replace Keyboard.begin(); with something like Keyboard.begin(KeyboardLayout_it_IT); without editing files in libraries folder?

Tested Arduino_32u4_Code replacing line 63 with Keyboard.begin(KeyboardLayout_it_IT);

Result: characters ok: ,.-;:_@#[]<>\| characters empy: {}

< and > was replaced by \ and | fixed editing file Documents/Arduino/libraries/Keyboard/src/KeyboardLayout_it_IT.cpp change 0x32 with 0x35 and viceversa

EDIT: set keyboard as ISO instead of ANSI if < and > was replaced by \ and |

That's what I've done to get the italian Keyboard layout works:

• Install Library Keyboard > 1.0.3
• Edit the /home/USER/Arduino/libraries/Keyboard/src/keyboard.h and edit the line: void begin(const uint8_t layout = KeyboardLayout_en_US); with void begin(const uint8_t layout = KeyboardLayout_it_IT);

As you said the {} characters won't work, but at least you could use "Press" and send the related ALT+Numeric_keypad_1+Numeric_keypad_2+(Numeric_keypad_3 or Numeric_keypad_5). Not much elegant but worth than nothing.

I was looking at library "keyboard_it_IT.h" and found this:

define KEY_I_GRAVE (136+0x2e)

define KEY_E_GRAVE (136+0x2f)

define KEY_O_GRAVE (136+0x33)

define KEY_A_GRAVE (136+0x34)

define KEY_U_GRAVE (136+0x31)

Not tested yet if the printed characthers are correct, but maybe it's possible to find a workaround like that for {}.
