„:Installing on Linux“

„:Translation:“ „:---“

„:I am not an expert in installing keyboard layouts, these instructions may not work for all Linux users“.

„:Follow these instructions“

QWERTY

1. „:First, backup some files by running these commands“:

cp /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/epo /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/epo.old
cp /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml.old

„:If you get an error, first run this command:“ su root, „:then try running the commands again, or replace cp with sudo cp“.

2. „:Open file“ /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/epo „:and append the following text block at the end of the file“:

// homepage: salif.github.io/shaw-eo
// version: 1
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "shaw_eo" {

  include "us(basic)"

  name[Group1]= "Esperanto (Shavian)";

  key <AD01> { [ U10456, scircumflex ] };
  key <AD02> { [ U10461, gcircumflex] };
  key <AD03> { [ U10467, e] };
  key <AD04> { [ U1046E, r] };
  key <AD05> { [ U10451, t] };
  key <AD06> { [ U10458, ubreve] };

  key <AD09> { [ U10469, o] };
  key <AD10> { [ U10450, p] };
  key <AD11> { [ U10460, jcircumflex] };

  include "level3(ralt_switch)"
};

3. „:Open file“ /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml „:and insert the following text block after the variant“ Esperanto (legacy):

<variant>
  <configItem>
    <name>shaw_eo</name>
    <description>Esperanto (Shavian)</description>
  </configItem>
</variant>

4. „:Then add“ Esperanto (Shavian) „:via the settings of your desktop environment“.

„:Uninstalling“

„:To uninstall restore the old files or undo everything you did“:

mv /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/epo.old /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/epo
mv /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml.old /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml

„:Updating“

„:Uninstall the old version and install the new version“.

„:Changes you make to files in the /usr/share/X11/xkb directory will be lost when the package owning that directory is updated, for example on Arch Linux this package is called xkeyboard-config. You must either make the same changes every time you update this package or turn off updates for this package. You also have the option to make a custom package that contains these changes and replaces the original package“.
