1// The <KPDL> key is a mess. 2// It was probably originally meant to be a decimal separator. 3// Except since it was declared by USA people it didn't use the original 4// SI separator "," but a "." (since then the USA managed to f-up the SI 5// by making "." an accepted alternative, but standards still use "," as 6// default) 7// As a result users of SI-abiding countries expect either a "." or a "," 8// or a "decimal_separator" which may or may not be translated in one of the 9// above depending on applications. 10// It's not possible to define a default per-country since user expectations 11// depend on the conflicting choices of their most-used applications, 12// operating system, etc. Therefore it needs to be a configuration setting 13// Copyright © 2007 Nicolas Mailhot <nicolas.mailhot @ laposte.net> 14 15 16// Legacy <KPDL> #1 17// This assumes KP_Decimal will be translated in a dot 18partial keypad_keys 19xkb_symbols "dot" { 20 21 key.type[Group1]="KEYPAD" ; 22 23 key <KPDL> { [ KP_Delete, KP_Decimal ] }; // <delete> <separator> 24}; 25 26 27// Legacy <KPDL> #2 28// This assumes KP_Separator will be translated in a comma 29partial keypad_keys 30xkb_symbols "comma" { 31 32 key.type[Group1]="KEYPAD" ; 33 34 key <KPDL> { [ KP_Delete, KP_Separator ] }; // <delete> <separator> 35}; 36 37 38// Period <KPDL>, usual keyboard serigraphy in most countries 39partial keypad_keys 40xkb_symbols "dotoss" { 41 42 key.type[Group1]="FOUR_LEVEL_MIXED_KEYPAD" ; 43 44 key <KPDL> { [ KP_Delete, period, comma, 0x100202F ] }; // <delete> . , ⍽ (narrow no-break space) 45}; 46 47 48// Period <KPDL>, usual keyboard serigraphy in most countries, latin-9 restriction 49partial keypad_keys 50xkb_symbols "dotoss_latin9" { 51 52 key.type[Group1]="FOUR_LEVEL_MIXED_KEYPAD" ; 53 54 key <KPDL> { [ KP_Delete, period, comma, nobreakspace ] }; // <delete> . , ⍽ (no-break space) 55}; 56 57 58// Comma <KPDL>, what most non anglo-saxon people consider the real separator 59partial keypad_keys 60xkb_symbols "commaoss" { 61 62 key.type[Group1]="FOUR_LEVEL_MIXED_KEYPAD" ; 63 64 key <KPDL> { [ KP_Delete, comma, period, 0x100202F ] }; // <delete> , . ⍽ (narrow no-break space) 65}; 66 67 68// Momayyez <KPDL>: Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, UAE 69partial keypad_keys 70xkb_symbols "momayyezoss" { 71 72 key.type[Group1]="FOUR_LEVEL_MIXED_KEYPAD" ; 73 74 key <KPDL> { [ KP_Delete, 0x100066B, comma, 0x100202F ] }; // <delete> ? , ⍽ (narrow no-break space) 75}; 76 77 78// Abstracted <KPDL>, pray everything will work out (it usually does not) 79partial keypad_keys 80xkb_symbols "kposs" { 81 82 key.type[Group1]="FOUR_LEVEL_MIXED_KEYPAD" ; 83 84 key <KPDL> { [ KP_Delete, KP_Decimal, KP_Separator, 0x100202F ] }; // <delete> ? ? ⍽ (narrow no-break space) 85}; 86 87// Spreadsheets may be configured to use the dot as decimal 88// punctuation, comma as a thousands separator and then semi-colon as 89// the list separator.
