binarybottle / engram-es Goto Github PK

Hello there!

Arno, thanks for forking the project to create the engram-es layout.

Where should we communicate? I just noticed there is no discussion tab in this repo.

Again, anything we can do to help, just tell us.

Discussed in https://github.com/binarybottle/engram-es/discussions/36

Spanish is one of the most spoken languages in the world. Yet, we really lack a specialized kw layout. We dont have any. Even the DVORAK variant are clueless of our letter frequency.
Would you be capable of doing a spanish engram variant, following all the same method?
You would make millions of typers very happy
Thanks

The repo is missing the installation files to be able to use the layout, I checked the engram repo (english variant) and that one contains a Makefile and xkb scripts.

engram: https://github.com/binarybottle/engram/tree/master/install/linux/x_keyboard_extension
engram-es: https://github.com/binarybottle/engram-es/tree/master/keymaps/linux

Can you please update the repo with the according files or give some guidelines on how to adjust the engram english files to fit the spanish version?

Thanks.

This question is a bit unrelated to the issue but I see ñÑ are missing in the layout, is this intentional?

Big kudos to Arno to create an optimized layout for Spanish.

But in the investigation I see that you took into account the ISO design, one as a programmer and who also has to speak English, it would be good if the ANSI design was taken into consideration and optimized with the use of ortho or split keyboards.

Take for example keyboards like Corne, Lily58, Kyria, etc...

In the same way, I think that the implementation of the keys ¿, ` and ñ is a bit unnecessary. Because these keys can be programmed within a layer or just using the AltGR key.

I’m wondering for folks who write English and Spanish if there is common version that they can use.

/engram-es/keymaps/linux/ is empty

(interesting, how u add layer with AltG and, maybe, Level5).

P.S. This layout better, than Dvorak? I use HHKB, but planning 40% something, maybe Corne... And please, add to your site roadmap or something. How about Russian lang with your approach? IMO, this is amazing theme, set punctuation in center.
