[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Re: N800, xkb and Sierra full size keyboard

[From: Laurent GUERBY]

Hi Sergey,

>From my limited reading and knowledge, it looks like Nokia
started from fairly recent xkb files, most of them
start with RCS tags (see below symbols/gb for a 200610 example).

I noticed a directory symbols/nokia_vndr which has
a few file that look Nokia local. There is no explicit
licence for these files, I'd appreciate if someone
from Nokia could clear this aspect (at least informally).

Meanwhile, I'll ship you a tarball of my N800 /usr/share/X11/xkb/ 
in private so you can check stuff.

I'm still interested on how to do the EIGHT_LEVEL/level5
stuff or more symply how to tell Hyper_L+key to do something
in xkb language, I looked around but could not find a single
example of using more than AltGr (level4) in xkb.

$ cd /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/
$ cat gb
// $XKeyboardConfig: xkbdesc/symbols/gb,v 1.10 2006/10/01 21:35:25 svu Exp $

// based on a keyboard map from an 'xkb/symbols/gb' file

$ cat nokia_vndr/us 
// We don't include either us(intl) or us(basic) in this file, because we
// want to achieve exact parity with the SU-8W as used on other Nokia devices.
// Hence intl is the default.

partial alphanumeric_keys default
xkb_symbols "intl" {
    name[Group1]= "U.S. English - International";

    // I can't believe it's not us(intl).
    key <AE01> { [ 1,            exclam,         exclamdown                            ] };
