A phonetic layout, you say?



ŋŋŋ…

I don't think that's a phonetic layout, some symbols from the IPA alphabet are missing, for example this crazy guy: ɮ
two semesters of computational linguistics have caused permanent damage

[Muirium]

The voiced alveolar lateral frrrrrrricative, eh? Now I must assume the umlaut in your username is for real!

[BlueBär]

Just listen to it on wikipedia and try to reproduce it

[matt3o]

I'll make some more tests tomorrow. This set is gonna kill me.

Let's swap the group buys and let me handle this!

hold on! really?!

[matt3o]

Tests

[imbattable]

Front printed looks best, who would have thought

[Muirium]

Numbers 5 and 1. The rest: no thanks.

[Nuum]

Yeah, front printed is awesome!

[ماء]

1 but upper corner
no 4 like japanese kibord QWERTY on upper left/JIS on right
ninja/front i think good for layers

[matt3o]

I have to check on pricing for the side print...

It is a reduced version to only write German poetry.

If you want to write poetry in APL, you must wait until Round 6.


Apropos: Can't we have APL symbols on top and Greek at front?

[matt3o]

nope... but I'm almost sold about a Cyrillic version.

[BlueBär]

I know someone who is going to be very haµµy

[Muirium]

Oink.

Same here

@Matteo: Do you plan to include a sort of FUNCTION kit ? 1 unit keys with common usage words like COPY, CUT, PASTE, SAVE, RETURN, TAB, BTAB.

It wasn't planned, but if there's really interest...

[matt3o]

Second (and last) International kit. All blue legends will be side printed (at least I'll try to)

very nice. I love that blue legends.

[Muirium]

If it's all centred, it is beautiful!

Now, about that single legend set…

[matt3o]

what about that?

[Muirium]

Still alive? Got a final list? General reassurance that my favourite set will become real?

[matt3o]

that is pretty much final, isn't it? I can't put all international layout symbols on it. it would become gargantuesque.

[fifted]

Now, about that single legend set…

Single legend with mu?

Seriously, though, I am stoked beyond reason for single legend. And the alternate home row keys. Loving this set!

OK don't bother with that, I'll use blanks.
Thanks for all your efforts.

One week dealing with the provider's hotline and a new ADSL modem later…
There are lots of improvements here, nice work Matt !

Time to review : I like the Debian key a lot but it is less universal than a Tux key which is relevant for all Linux users. It can be more universal with a GNU key but seems too thin to be nicely dyesubbed.

You still forgot the AltGr in Pro kits (what's the icon for this key?) Won't it be to much to ask to double this key to reach some symmetrical modifier layouts?

If I could have mono legended ÉÈÊÀÇ I'll be able to make a bépo set. At least please add the ` and Ç or ¸ (cedilla) since I can use ´ / \ for the three others. Thank's !

[scottc]

If we add a GNU key, surely we must also add an OpenBSD pufferfish and FreeBSD devil!

[matt3o]

thanks for the feedback Vierax.

The nerdom kit needs some review, I believe I will be removing all the copyrighted material, that means killing half of the mods, but I don't think we have many alternatives.

I don't really feel the need of an AltGr, Alt is good enough methinks, but waiting for your input here.

Regarding mono-legends, like I said, I can't add all letters for all languages, that would become a really insane kit. I could make a mono-legend international kit, but again it would quickly become a 90+ keys set.

No, why should we?

[matt3o]

Still nerdy and I don't think we would have copyright issues:
