I created a Windows keymap a year or so ago that I use on several Vista and XP systems (32-bit versions only). It is essentially the same as the Linux keymap (might be a few differences, because I was reconstructing it from memory, but the main mappings are the same).

Once installed, it works basically the same as in Linux - a key combination can be used to switch between the standard and eo maps.

And reportedly the Canadian international keyboard also supports the ^ letters by using ^ as a dead key.

On Ubuntu (not on Windows, though!), the German keyboard layout also allows easy typing of ĉĝĥĵŝ. German keyboards have a dedicated circumflex key to the left of the number 1. Press that and then the letter you want and you got it. (Windows only allows that key for âêîôû, I think.)

Ŭ, meanwhile, can be typed by setting a Compose key - then it's compose, u, u. (For uppercase Ŭ, compose, shift-u, shift-u - remember to shift BOTH u's)

BTW: How do you set a keyboard combination (not panel applet) to change from one to the other layout? I didn't manage to do that, but maybe I'm just blind ...

I believe that by default the switch combination is Left Alt + Shift, as in Windows.

Doesn't work for me.

I simply made my own keyboard layout using MS keyboard layout creator, because there exist no dvorak lay-outs that support esperanto characters.

For my problem with the lazout ( okulumo.gif ) switching: I found out that it's in System > Preferences > Keyboard > second tab there ("Belegungen" in German) > Other Options > Layout switching. Just in case someone else has the same problem...

But, another problem: Does anyone know a good typing training program for this Esperanto layout? I'm used to the German layout, which has the special characters (not just y and z) at completely different places than the English and Esperanto keyboard.

You can use the Microsoft keyboard layout creator to create an Esperanto keyboard based on the German keyboard layout that you're used to. Then you don't have to need to learn to type with a new system.

So the Microsoft layout creator works on Ubuntu? Surprises me a bit. okulumo.gif

Sorry, I missed that you were using Ubuntu.

But I would be shocked if there weren't some sort of keyboard creator you could use.

There are some hints here: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/11471/

Someone posted step-by-step instructions here:

But I think you could find more, with some additional googling. I'm sure that you're hardly the first person to want a customized keyboard for Ubuntu.
