shift+space in "ro" locale #29
Conversation

If that happens in the Ro locale, it may happen in all locales? I wonder what you used. Did you use the KS or US variant? Did you use Extend with it? The colemak_ed layouts define Space like you did, so why it shouldn't work is beyond me. |

So what I want is for Shift+Space to be mapped to space, which is obtained with I'm using I think the main problem is that the line |

Yes, I see the problem. Even though it isn't really Colemak's fault, some
layouts have been sloppy with their Space definitions.
I don't really recommend the _ks_ layouts as they're tacked-together
half-solutions, but ... if you must, you must.
So yes, I should think about how to ensure a working Space key for you guys.

I'm using ro(cmk_ed_ks), and in it Shift+Space isn't mapped to anything.
Tried to look into other layouts with *_ks to see how they get key <SPCE>
{ [space, space,..., but it's such a mess with includes. For example,
ru(cmk_ed_ks) gets it from pl(basic) which defined it, while ca(cmk_ed_ks)
gets it from ca(multi) which includes ca(fr) which in turn defined it.
From the few I tested, al(cmk_ed_ks) and be(cmk_ed_ks) don't have
Shift+Space either.
I think the main problem is that the line key <SPCE> { [space, space,...
should be included from colemak(cmk_ed_symbols), while most _ks layouts
include only colemak(cmk_ed_letters). Maybe the line key <SPCE> { [space,
space,... should be in colemak(cmk_ed_letters) rather than
colemak(cmk_ed_symbols)?

What's the alternative to using |
|
The alternative is the _eD layouts. They're designed for good symbol and special letter mappings, and lots of dead keys for accents etc etc. |
I noticed shift+space didn't work in the "ro" locale (instead of "space", xev showed a "NoSymbol"), so I copied this line from the "us" locale and it's working now.
