I gracefully ripped MadRabbit's working layout and vandalized it with the characters I wanted. I commented a random line at the end of symbols/halmak because it broke my AltGr key, even tho it looks like that line was SUPPOSED to be there in order to make AltGr work... ...yikes :D
I was almost too lazy to make a script to automatically install the layout. (X updates probably reset everything in the xdg folder)
layer1 and layer2 - the querty modifiers layer (ctrl,alt,super) layer3 and layer4 - the actual Halmak keyboard layer5 and layer6 - mac style special symbols for the ralt switch ^it took me 1 hour to realize that ralt=right alt=AltGr :,,,,)
It kind of works system wide, but not everywhere, some electron apps
are fucked. I have no other solution for VS Code other than manually
remap key bindings because it reads keycodes directly off the chrome
DOM events and messes it up.
I'll pretend it works perfectly until it doesn't.
Also, apparently xkb gets broken now and then. I've tested this on Ubnutu 20.04,
and have no guarantee that it will keep working. Fucking programmers, man...
./install_pralmak goes brrr (I'm probably gonna commit a change to the original halmak in order to add this script)
~~Copy the symbols and types folders into /usr/share/X11/xkb.
You'll have to overwrite the types/complete to make this work.
After that add halmak into the rules/evdev.xml wherever you
want this layout.~~
No! Noobs like me just want to start typing. I almost had to learn how xdg works in order to make pralmak.
Just run the script :) I promise I didn't put any covid in there!
Restart. Or press Alt+F2 in Gnome and type 'r' to restart the shell. Or log out then log back in. Or type 'setxkbmap pralmak' in the command line.
Naaaah noone needs this. I'll just delete this section.
