app Custom Keyboard Layouts for F(x)tec Pro1

[Slion 1,201]

As I'm investigating how to implement qwertz support I thought it could be nice to have support for gamepads too. Any gamer out there wishing for a such a feature? Maybe it just does not make sense if you do not have analog stick support anyway.

On Droid 4 I was using app GameKeyboard and it was perfect for gaming. On Pro1 service for this app just can't start...

I ought to add combining diacritical for tilde accent to ALT+T. ('\u0303')

Can I get a picture of a production QWERTZ to make sure this was not changed since? Currently busy doing the mapping and I would hate to have to do it twice.

@FlyingAntero

Here is a first draft for QWERTZ layout.
The ALT layer is still missing, the Fx layer may need to be adapted for QWERTZ as it should currently be the same as on QWERTY.

hwkbd-v0.4.0-fxTecPro1-qwertz-release.apk

Known issues:

• First row shift not acting as fn.
• Fn characters on standard letter keys missing or wrong.

Known issues from above should be fixed now.

Great job! I installed the latest version successfully. First row shift is acting like a FN (except that shift + ß gives ẞ but that is probably like it should).

Yes that's how it was done in FinQwerty I'm not sure if it makes sense though, I can't think of any instance of upper case ß in german.

I am not familiar with German letters so I don't know either. I see that you implemented FX combinations also (like FX + c gives calculator). Nice! So far I haven't seen any issues with the keymap.

Yes those ones were taken over from the qwerty variant and may need reviewing for qwertz DE.

Which is your native language? Why did you get a qwertz then?

I am from Finland. QWERTZ suits quite well for us since we have Ä and Ö letters also and instead of Ü we are using Å. Then Y and Z needs to be swapped. So, only minor remapping is needed from QWERTZ to Scandic.

So what's wrong with the layouts provided by FinQwerty? Is it the missing Fx and Alt layers?

I could do a QWERTZ - FI layout if you want. Should I take a look at the FinQwerty variant?

LATER: I see you actually already provided what you are looking for:

It was added as a character to official German rather recently (June 2017), for the case of writing an existing text in all caps (as an example the Corbusier WP theme I use for my blog has this odd behaviour for some headers).
I guess It is not that likely to actually type it though. But that is now possible.

Instead of capital ß it should give the question mark. Or how am is supposed to type question mark insteadẞ

Hi 

I´m still struggling a bit with this, How do I find the scan codes for the "F" and "arrow up" buttons? the Key-loggers or dmesg don´t show anything. 

 

Running LinageOS18.1

also when I look at the original keychars file I don´t find symbols related to the "arrow up" button, (for example I don´t see anything about "/" being associated to "P"

My understanding is that neither Fx Qwerty nor FinQwerty are working on LOS cause the keyboard driver has been significantly changed, notably modifying scan codes.

That's to be expected if you are looking at the LOS source code cause that's hard coded in the driver.
