Hi all,
Glad to see new users who are interested in kirghiz keyboard. I, Timur and with help of Mashrab and Pablo created kirghiz keyboard layout for MandivaLinux and issued requests in both Xorg and Xfree86, so our work could be used by other Unix OS.I also worked on kirghiz console keyboard layout, and it was in MandrivaLinux, but russian users offers his version and their work in kbd project. I'm trying to contact with AEN, but no luck.Our works has been tested and actively used among kirghiz UUG. We worked on kirghiz locale, some translation projects and we actively use kirghiz layout in our Open Source projects. We use direct access keys for kirghiz 3 letters. Yes, it was based on russian, so kirghiz language has russian + 3 kirghiz letters. So you don't need to press two keys to get one of kirghiz letters. But, somehow Yury Fedorov changed our work with his version, which was adopted from Windows where for kirghiz letter Cyrillic_u_straight you have to press (Altgr+E) which is not comfortable and so for other letters. We discussed with him, but he insisted in his work. So, these work left for the future and any suggestions are welcome.
You can get more info: http://
Now, I see is the time to regulate kirghiz standard keyboard layout and create one version for Unix OS. Your link with jobo.pdf is not working, so I can't check it out. Please contact with us so we can talk and discuss this issue and I hope we will solve and close questions. So, for now I will check your work.
Alex,
