Hi,
 
Add those ones:

^ a = â
^ e = ê
^ o = ô
^ i = î
^ u = û

¨ a = ä
¨ e = ë
¨ o = ö
¨ i = ï
¨ u = ü

The other ones, I think are very rarely used.

Hi Pr2,

 

Here is the French keyboard set as it now stands.  How did I do?  Is this correct and okay for me to move on to other languages?

 

Regards,

Ian.

Hi Persian Prince,

 

Have you had a chance to check out the Persian keyboard layouts?  Are they okay or does something need to be fixed or added?

 

Please let me know if the Persian task is complete so I can move on.

Hi Persian Prince,

 

Thank you for such a fantastic correction report.  It made the fix so easy and was very much appreciated.

 

Corrections made and here for your review.

 

I just need my Greek and Spanish reviews to come in and then I will submit the code.  All other languages can be upgraded or added at any time though I will add or make changes before submission if anyone offers me the information needed.

 

Regards,

Ian.

Would you please share your latest Persian keyboard sources? I want to check it one last time with unicodes.

Hi Persian Prince,

 

Here is the latest screen capture of the Persian keyboard layouts and the Unicode characters behind them.

Hi,

 

Is there anyone else who wants to improve or add any languages for the VirtualKeyBoard?

 

Regards,

Ian.

[Pr2]

Hi,

 

I find out this site which graphically shows you the different keyboard layout:

 

https://docs.microso...yboard-layouts#

 

If you can wrote a grabber for the this page, you can retrieve the Unicode value for every keyboard since it is displayer by the onmouseover.

So it is perhaps possible to automate a lot the creation of every possible keyboard for your plugin spending time writing a grabber.

Hi Pr2,

 

Thank you for the link.  It would probably be more reliable than my visual mapping of the keys.

 

I am reluctant to start building every keyboard available.  I would prefer to add keyboards that people actually want.    At this point interest in additional keyboards is non existent while interest in the current keyboards seems quite low.

 

The other issue is that I am only familiar with English so when it comes to handling layouts and in particular how the dead keys work for the different languages there is no substitute for local knowledge to assist me.  Persian Prince has been invaluable for getting the Persian keyboard right.  A friend of mine is helped me create a workable Greek layout.  I am hoping for some help from Huevos to finalise the Spanish keyboard.  When Rob becomes available he is helping me to finish the Dutch layout.  I think one of my other friends can help with French.

 

I wanted to get the common keyboards correct before submitting my code to the repository.  There will be no problem updating the tables once people see the new layouts and want their language improved as well.  The cost will be their assistance to get the job done properly. 

 

Regards,

Ian.

[Pr2]

Hi,

 

Yes but writing the grabber to generate the keyboard is already a good starting point to propose keyboard that later on people can help you to fix the dead-key.

 

About the french keyboard it is at 98% the same as the belgian one, you just have to change a few keys all the rest is exactly the same.

Most people in the Netherlands and the UK use a standard en_US layout (the UK has the pound sterling sign whereas the Netherlands uses the Euro).

 

There is a specific Dutch layout with the same dead keys (in Windows called US-Internatonal) as the Belgian/French layout, but hardly anyone uses it anymore, accented letters are rarely used anymore.

Same here for Estonia.

[IanSav]

Hi Zeros,

 

Same here for Estonia.

 

I don't have a keyboard for Estonia.  Should there be one?

 

Regards,

Ian.

[IanSav]

Hi,

 

This is as far as I got with the Dutch layout before Rob became indisposed.  If anyone else wants to weigh in on any corrections or additions then all help will be welcomed.

 

I understand that many of the dead keys are not in common use I would be quite happy to add them, for those who want them, in the third screen.  If they could be more common perhaps we can find space on the first two screens.

 

Regards,

Ian.

That looks indeed like an nl_NL keybaord (which is slightly different from the en_US query keyboards used). So I can't help.

Hi,

 

While I am posting keymaps for verification here are the United Kingdom keymaps for people to check.
