·:I feel bad now because I found this:
http://www.rejc2.co.uk/ipakeyboard/

Of course that's not your own, customized version but it does have everything you need. If you still want to make your own it's ok but I wanted you to see this before you spent your money.

·:Red August


Meh, that things confusing. If I make my own, I'll know where everything is, and I don't need all of them, I can do without a lot of those super uncommon bizarre ones.

·:Oh, but if you're going to do that, put ¹ and ² in the character slots with footnotes telling me which is which. Otherwise it ruins the point of monospaced font.

·:Red August


Well, I just put them in brackets. Like so:

`1234567890-ʔ
qwɛɹtjʊɪop[]
ɑsdfgh[dʒ]klː'
zx[tʃ]vbnm,./


So, would you prefer...

`1234567890-ʔ
qwɛɹtjʊɪop[]
ɑsdfgh²dʒklː'
zx¹tʃvbnm,./


¹ tʃ is a single letter.
² dʒ is also.

confused ?

·:And yeah, I downloaded that other keyboard layout and it's far too confusing even for me. There's too much to keep up with. I could do better than that °~°

But X-files is on and I've never seen it before. This episode has my interest. After that I need a short nap. I'll see ya in a bit.

I'm wondering if maybe this belongs in the Conscripts board...?

·:No. It has nothing to do with conscripts. Conscripts aren't found in Unicode and they can't be mapped as a character on a keyboard.
IPA isn't a conscript either. This can be used to make any kind of keyboard to type any Unicode character.

August, I notice that your text is a different shade of red than usual today.

And anyway, its not likely this will make much of a mess in here, with how active the forum is these days.

·:I changed my font style up. I wanted it to match my sig. So I also added this little lion head at the end of my sign-off.

I'm considering changing the name of the Conscripts forum to Conscripts & Ornithography, so it would encompass ALL writing systems and birds.
PostPosted: Mon Jul 02, 2007 4:12 pm


Allright, here you go. I left the compound ones in the brackets, and there are a few that look like they should be dead keys, but they aren't.


Normal:
`1234567890-ʔ
qwɛɹtjʊɪopə]
ɑsdfgh[dʒ]klː'
zx[tʃ]vbnm,./


+Shift:
[eɪ][aɪ][ɔɪ][oʊ][aʊ]^&*()_+
QʍerθYuiɔP{}|
æʃðFGHʒKL;'
ZXCVBŋM<>?


AltGr:
`1234567890-=
qweɽʈyuiop[]
aʂɖfgʈʰjkl;'
z⁼cʋbɳm,./


This should be all I need. I'm not gonna be super precise with allophones and stress and all that, I just wanna type stuff how it sounds. If I need more, I'll be sure to complain at you, bearing gold of course.

·:Hey, do you have a complex conscript?

By complex script I mean:
•A script that has more than 94 and less than 189 characters.
•A script that is written vertical and right-to-left (like Chinese and Japanese)
•A script that is written horizontal and right-to-left (like Arabic and Hebrew)

I just realized Wednesday is Independence Day.

My font thread ended up in the Conscripts thread, even though it's not restricted to conscripts. I'll make fonts for any language, be it conlang or natlang. Hell, I'll turn your handwriting into a font if you want me to. Also, not all conscripts are completely new. Many of them involve existing symbols that don't need to be completely redone.

So that's kind of irrelevant. I'm with EI on making the Conscripts into a more generally writing themed board.

I haven't counted the characters, but it's certainly more than 94. However, I doubt it's less than 189.

You could go look in Xeigrich's thread. I posted all of the characters there.
