It also adds all sort of characters that are found in the Greek Unicode block. It does not make changes to the previous default layout, so users will not be unpleasantly surprised. It adds Greek Polytonic to the existing Greek layout. This is the updated Greek keyboard layout, and is the near-final version that we are planning to submit to xkeyboard-config. Regarding layouts in general, it is important for different languages/scripts to make effort that the default layout is updated and includes extra useful and relevant characters. This is consistent to the fact that distributions pick the default variant in the settings so it’s what get the most visibility, or when users select a new layout, they are presented with the default setting first. The way I would like to define layout and variant is this: a layout refers to the default variant of the layout file. You can also pick a non-default variant of the layout file, and call it your layout. Oftentimes people refer to the «fr» file as a whole as the French layout. When you are actually talking about a French keyboard layout, you are actually referring to the default variant of the «fr» file. The French layout file is fr, which contains several variants (distinct groups of mappings of physical keys to Unicode characters). The two are quite similar and the distinction is messy when trying to explain to the end-user. You can then override any of those characters by dragging and dropping to the layout.Īt this stage in the blog post, it is important to clarify the notions of a layout and a variant. In this case, you add and enable in the Include files section. In many cases, there exist layouts/variants that contain most of the characters you want to add.
