Re: [Bug-apl] Remaining keyboard issues

[Blake McBride]

Attempting to fix apl.xmodmap, I discovered that the mapping for χ seems to be correct, it just doesn't work for some reason.  Strange that just those new characters give me a problem.  I don't get it.  Does anyone else?

Thanks.

Greetings,

Looking at SVN 420, I question the following keyboard issues:

1.  with respect to support-files/Dyalog-keyboard

apl.xmodmap is missing mapping for the following characters:

χ

⍹

⍶

⍷

⍨

¥

⍸

⍣

⌷

⍥

¢

£

⍙

there may be others.

Please tell me if you would like me to fix this.

2.  The files in the support-files seem to be the old layout.  I thought you were going to get rid of the files in that directory and use the specific sub-directories instead.  Given the output of ]keyb and the docs (README-3-keyboard), using the keyboard files in that directory will be maximally confusing.

i.e. the docs say:

$ xmodmap support-files/apl.xmodmap

which provides the OLD layout.  The docs then say it will look like the NEW layout.  They don't match at all.

I'd either get rid of the files in that directory or default them to what is in the Dylog-keyboard directory.

Thanks.
