<html><head></head><body style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hello everybody!<br><br>I live in Belgium, in Wallonia. Here, French is the official language, the language of instruction, the language used by the administration, but there are also minority languages. I live approximately at the border between the Walloon speaking area and the Picard speaking one.<br><br>In Walloon, the standardised spelling (rifondou walon) makes a great use of the letter å (a with ring above) and, on belgian keyboards on Linux, this letter is only available by Shift + Alt Gr + ^ (dead_abovering) followed by a, which is not very practical for such a frequent letter (to have an idea of the frequency of this letter, look e. g. at http://wa.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Aidance). Of course, there's also the sequence Compose + o + a, but that is not THE best way to do it.<br>In the Feller spelling of some dialects of Walloon and in Picard, there is also an e̊ (e with ring above). This letter doesn't exist in Unicode as a precomposed character and needs to be encoded as an e followed by a combining ring above (U+003A).<br><br>I'd like to make a variation of the Belgian keyboard layout where those characters (å and e̊) would be on the Alt Gr layer and their uppercase forme (Å and E̊) on the Shift + Alt Gr.<br>The problem with e̊ and E̊ is that I'd need two new keysy<ering>ms (ering and Ering) and two new lines in the file /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8:<br> <ering> : "e̊"<br> <Ering> : "E̊"<br>Is it possible to add such keysyms?<br>Who could help me?<br><br></body></html>
