Re: Update on the CA/CF keyboard issue
In my foregoing mail, I wrote:
Unfortunately, these key combinations do not work on
OpenOffice.org2 except No. 1 (é,É). So, I activated SCIM and chose
the IMEngine “English/European”. Using KDE Keyboard Layout
“French Canadian” and SCIM “English/European” together, all
the key combinations above work very well also on OpenOffice.org2.
Sorry, I had forgotten to mention another (probably) inportant
point, namely "characterset". In the traditional environment for
Western languages (iso8859-1), SCIM cannot be activated. The
characterset should be UTF-8. In my customization, I edited the whole
concerning settings in /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig. For example, I
changed the settings for "boot option: lang=us/en" as follows:
*)
# American version
LANGUAGE="us"
COUNTRY="us"
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
KEYTABLE="us"
XKEYBOARD="us"
KDEKEYBOARD="us"
CHARSET="UTF-8"
# Additional KDE Keyboards
KDEKEYBOARDS="th,la,kh,mm,vn,ara,in,de"
XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
TZ="America/New_York"
;;
In a similar way, I edited also the settings for other languages
(de_DE.UTF-8, es_ES.UTF-8, fr_FR.UTF-8, ja_JP.UTF-8, ko_KR.UTF-8,
ru_RU.UTF-8, zh_CN.UTF-8, and so on). I hope the "Total Transition to
Unicode/UTF-8" will be considered for a future version of Knoppix.
Thank you
