Re: [Bug-apl] MacAplAlt.keylayout & updated Installation Guide

[Peter Teeson]

Hi Jürgen:

I realize you have been busy with other much more important things.

But when you have a moment would you be so kind as to review this thread and let me know if you can agree with my suggestion.

OS X-keyboard.zip
Description: Zip archive

If you do not agree I will change the Guide to refer to you original placement.

Thanks & respect…

Peter

Thank you Jürgen but instead can you please unzip this and place it in the support-files directory?

<OS X-keyboard.zip>

There are 2 reasons for this request:

1 it conforms to similar keyboard folders in the support-files directory

2 the documentation in the Guide refers to it's location there

"You can find it in the support-files folder in the folder named OS X-keyboard." 

(then no need for MacAplAlt.keylayout to be in the doc folder.)

--------

As to the displaying the KB layout it's the same issue I had when trying to DL the Dyalog keylayout months ago.

The browsers are trying to execute the XML code (which is what the layout is).

Dyalog fixed it on their current site by doing this (but we don't ned to do that)

Hi Peter,

thanks, I have added/updated the files in the doc subdirectory. SVN 442.

BTW when trying to display the keyboard layout file in firefox I am getting:

XML Parsing Error: reference to invalid character number
Location: file:///home/eedjsa/projects/juergen/apl-1.4/doc/MacAplAlt.keylayout
Line Number 99, Column 36:            <key code="51" output="&#x0008;"/>
-----------------------------------^

Could be that my firefox is too old (20.0). My chrome browser shows the same error.

OK Jürgen:

Mac desktops use USB or Bluetooth Keyboards.

Of course laptops have the KB built in.

Here are the files:

a) Installation Guide

b) keyboard layout

Please install the layout in a folder named OS X-keyboard in the support-files folder.

(The Guide refers to that folder by name)

Thanks...

Hi Peter,

good, take your time.

I am not very familiar with Macs but I suppose you can add an
external USB keyboard? In that case I would leave the ⍙ on AltShift-.
because the default keyboard shown by the ]KEYBOARD command has
is there and on AltShift-H.
