Re: [Bug-apl] OS X DyalogAlt.keylayout mappings to add...

[Peter Teeson]

The ]keyb command shows the "canonical" key layout for GNU APL.

It is/was based on the Dyalog layout. But there are a few differences and omissions in the current DyalogAlt.keylayout for Mac.

Starting with the actual Dyalog layout I have added the mappings to the Unicode glyphs mentioned in Blake's email i.e.

χ ⍹ ⍶ ⍷ ⍨ ¥ ⍸ ⍣ ⌷ ⍥ ¢ £ ⍙

Then I compared that layout to the ]keyb one and there are indeed some minor differences

These have now also been corrected. 

So I now have available a GnuAplMacAlt.keylayout that is, with one exception, the same as ]keyb.

The exception is this: ⍙ appears twice in ]keyb at AltShift H and AltShift period.

Presently I have left the AltShift period one there and not yet added the AltShift H.

What is the correct next step to finalize things?

Plus can we come up with a better name for the layout than  GnuAplMacAlt?

respect…

Hmmm interesting… I don't think that would be too hard to do. 

Thanks for the idea. I'll check it out tomorrow.

Dear Peter,

I think the GNU APL layout differs a little from the Dyalog layout.  

It would be nice for your Mac setup to match the output of the GNU APL ]keyb command.  

That is what I did with my layout files.
