How do I add characters like æøå/ÆØÅ and the euro sign to my keyboard layout? I’d like to keep the US layout and hit those with fn and fn + shift combinations.

The host os guessing hasn’t worked for me either, tbh…Looking at FingerprintUSBHost , it seems like we could do a lot to try to improve it, as it is very simple right now – as the comments there say, it is mainly a proof-of-concept by Jesse. I don’t know much about how that might work, but I will gi…

So with the real danger that I am exposing, that I have still not understood anything about shifting … I hard coded the OS to Mac OS and set the keyboard to unicode. So now I can map æøå to the fn layer. Yay! Now I am trying to extend the macro to handle that if shift was pressed, it should send…

Ha, so I wrote that code before I had a keyboard to test on, and now that I do I also see that it doesn’t work. I will try to figure out what’s going wrong & report back.

Thanks. I have never done any arduino before. I am mostly a java guy and I get stumped pretty fast in this environment :blush:

I am in the same boat, tbh :stuck_out_tongue: Just trying to read the source enough to figure things out…

Do you think this thread holds an answer? [image] How do modifiers work (USB HID)? Programming I think you’re thinking of this code. This defines the bits used in the key state that is passed around in Kaleidoscope. In particular, plugins that use event handler hooks get…

Hrm, I’m not sure. Reading the source seems to indicate that the isModifierKeyPressed is ultimately checking the keyReport that Jesse talks about in that thread…my thought is maybe we’re checking this in the wrong place? I looked at the source for ShapeShifter, which checks if the shift keys are hel…

I wonder if it would be possible to map fn + shift to a new layer?

I think that would be straightforward enough to do by putting a ShiftToLayer(whatever) on the shift key in the fn layer. I’m realizing that, for Linux at least, the situation for this may be complicated by the fact that entering Unicode characters entails faking holding down a shift key, which may …

The reason why checking in the report does not work is that we clear the report each cycle, and fill it again. If your shift is later on the matrix than the unicode symbols, when we process the symbols, shift won’t be re-added yet. This is why ShapeShifter checks it in the loop hook too. This is so…
