Multilingual layouts and emacs IME

I use colemak keyboard layout for more than five years.

I started using it when I needed multilungual keyboard layout. It happened when I was learning German in Goethe Institut. Unfortunately, by now I completely forget what I was learning, but now I have this ergonomic layout. I can type in this layout without looking at keyboard, and I can’t do this with qwerty.

As for October 2024 I use Russian (Belarus) layout which is also an multilingual layout that contain Cyrillic letters with some of them used in Belarusian language and accessible with Alt-GR. I also started using reverse-im package.

setxkbmap -query output:

rules:      evdev
model:      microsoftpro
layout:     us,by
variant:    colemak,ru
options:    grp:win_space_toggle

enabling colemak layout

OpenBSD 6.6 was nice release, where it was introduced:

kbd us.colemak
