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.

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…

[image] Jennigma: The legacy aspect is kind of shocking, isn’t it? I had all kinds of ideas around separating shifted characters from their unshifted counterparts that I’ve put on hold for future study. :slight_smile: One way or another, I will make this happen, but I won’t bet on it being pr…

[image] merlin: Why does the report get cleared every cycle? It’s really odd to have a function named isModifierPressed() that sometimes tells you the key isn’t pressed when it actually is. The report gets cleared so we can avoid having to do manual bookeeping, which can very, very easily lea…

Also very interested (on behalf of Kaleidoscope-MacrosOnTheFly ) in these kinds of press/release issues

[image] algernon: The report gets cleared so we can avoid having to do manual bookeeping, which can very, very easily lead to a whole lot of bugs. And yes, it is odd to have it named like that, and it is something I want to fix. It’s not a trivial task (and switching to manual bookeeping is not …
