Re: [MiNT] Patch: Deadkey support]



What happened to this patch? Is it in the pipeline, has it been rejected or what?

Btw. I forgot to add the CVS entry to my second attempt:

Added support for deadkeys. Two keystrokes can be combined to produce an accented character, depending on the loaded keyboard table. The keyboard table file format is extended with a NULL-terminated 'deadkey'-table. This extended table can still be built with mktbl.

You forgot the "r" in the options, for "recursive".

Is this necessary when all the touched files are in the same directory?

But as your tree contain CVS dirs (used for internal CVS machinery), they must be excluded.

So your diff command line should be:
diff -aurN -x CVS olddir newdir

Ok, tried again.

1. 'make distclean' on the modified tree (to get rid of object-files and
executables).
2. cd to the parent directory of these two trees.
3. 'diff -aurN -x CVS -x tools freemint.cvs freemint > deadkeys.patch'
    'freemint.cvs' is identical to my last CVS checkout. 'freemint' is a
copy of 'freemint.cvs' with my modified sources.

Let's hope that it's OK this time. I obviously has a lot to learn.

I hope I will be able to use the deadkeys on my French keyboard :-)
There are only 2 deadkeys: ^ and ¨
¨ is actually obtained with Shift+^
Will this work ?

Yes. The deadkeys works with ASCII-codes, not scan-codes. So if you need
to type 'ö' you first press '¨' (using whatever key combo you need)
followed by 'o'. However, you must first specify this in the keytable file.

Did you update KeyEdit for the new deadkey table ?

Not yet, but I will if the patch is accepted.
