Some time ago I wrote for inferno an analog of kbmap with an extention - = =20 a possibility to print complex symbols via sequences of more basic =20 symbols. I use it for typing by the russian translit. Here is a piece of file for my kbmap: <------------cut ---------------> 1 45 0 1 46 '=D0=A6 1 47 '=D0=92 1 48 '=D0=91 1 49 '=D0=9D 1 50 '=D0=9C C =D1=86=D1=85 '=D1=87 C =D0=A6=D1=85 '=D0=A7 C =D1=81=D1=85 '=D1=88 C =D0=A1=D1=85 '=D0=A8 C =D1=81=D1=86=D1=85 '=D1=89 C =D0=A1=D1=86=D1=85 '=D0=A9 <------------cut---------------> The latin symbols are mapped to russian when it is possible. Other russia= n =20 symbols are presented via sequences of mapped symbols, e.g. russian =20 symbol '=D0=A7' [ch] is presented like an sequence of '=D1=86' [c] =D0=B8= '=D1=85' [h]. A sequence can be broken by pressing any non-symbol key. There is at least one big disadvantage of this method - the input focus = =20 can be changed, e.g. by mouse. In inferno I didn't resolve this problem, = =20 because /dev/pointer can be opened only once. Maybe it makes a sence to make something like this in Plan9 (an analog =20 kbmap) for typing complex symbols like an hieroglyph ?
