Hi Mark,
Thank you for your reply. I am not sure if it is something similar to what Yannis
Haralambous has done that I need to develop.
I want to develop something like the following (let's take take case of MS word
under windows NT). For example, I would like to define a keyboard mapping for
some Unicode characters (for example assign "Ctrl d + ." shortcut key to the "d
with a dot below" (U+1E0D)). Unfortunately there are few things I don't know how
to do:
- don't know how to type unicode characters from the keyboard (to type ascii
character, you can type Alt +0xxx where xxx is the ascii code. This is in MS
word).
- don't know how to create a custom keyboard layout.
- don't know how to create a macro that will have a Unicode character (e.g.
U+1E63) as an output.
Best regards,
Yazid
