A (hopefully) improved Polish keyboard map.

[Antoni Grzymala]

Dear list,

Attached please find a patch to the Polish keyboard map file.

The rationale for changes is following:

qQ → λΛ added for easy lambda-related writing;

wW → removed „ł” from under the ralt modifier (leads to common typos
like „błędół” instead of „błędów”);

jk → added «», common in proper Polish typography;

,  → added … (ellipsis);

vb → changed to support „proper” Polish typographer's quotes, the
“original” ones are still reachable with Vb;

4 → added eurosign and centsign around where the dollar is placed;

- – added the endash, for better endashing texts where there are no
provisions for automatic replacement of -- and the like into the
endash.

-    include "kpdl(comma)"
+    include "kpdl(dot)"

This last change is debatable – most users seem to find the keypad dot
far more useful than the comma – stuff like bc(1) and most programming
languages take floats written with a dot. A comma basically makes
sense in polonized spreadsheet programs which usually have provisions
for turning the keypad dot into a comma, anyway.

Best regards,

Antoni
