There is a mistake here. A missing step.
%% ARGA WARGA
The third rule ('Z' => "ARGA WARGA...Z") was easiest to test:
1. Open the application. (If necessary, navigate to a text entry field.)
STEP 1-AND-A-HALF. Hold down the Shift key.
2. (While under "us" keyboard layout) strike the key labeled "Z" on my
standard US laptop keyboard
3. Observe whether
ARGA WARGA IN THE DARGA instead of Z
is printed.
The two terminal emulators passed this test. The graphical web browsers
failed
in an interesting way. Instead of displaying
ARGA WARGA IN THE DARGA instead of Z
in the text entry field, they displayed just
A
