Getting some French-Canadian keyboard strokes to work on English keyboard
- by Gradient
I'm trying to use some of the French-Canadian keyboard stokes I'm used to on an English keyboard. I would like to change the behaviour of some keys. I was able to implement these changes in Vim, but I would like them to be applied system-wide (for Windows and Ubuntu).
Here's what I want to implement :
If I press [a, the character printed is â.
When I press [r, something that's supposed to stay normal, the characters printed are [r.
If I hold [ for 3 seconds, [ is printed. I want this delay to be applied to all my modified keys.
I want to map < to ' and the characters 'e to è.
The complex problem here is that I only want the ' beside the ; key to produce the è character, NOT when I press the < (remapped to ') then e.
I'll show you a .vimrc file that implements this, now I want this behavior system-wide:
set timeout timeoutlen=3000 ttimeoutlen=100
inoremap [a â
inoremap [A Â
inoremap [e ê
inoremap [E Ê
inoremap [i î
inoremap [I Î
inoremap [o ô
inoremap [O Ô
inoremap [u û
inoremap [U Û
inoremap 'a à
inoremap 'A À
inoremap 'e è
inoremap 'E È
inoremap 'u ù
inoremap 'U Ù
inoremap }e ë
inoremap }E Ë
inoremap }i ï
inoremap }I Ï
inoremap }u ü
inoremap }U Ü
inoremap ]c ç
inoremap ]C Ç
inoremap / é
inoremap < '
