„:Installing on Linux“

„:Translation:“ „:---“

„:I am not an expert in installing keyboard layouts, these instructions may not work for all Linux users“.

„:Follow these instructions“

1. „:First, backup some files by running these commands“:

cp /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/tr /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/tr.old
cp /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml.old

„:If you get an error, first run this command:“ su root, „:then try running the commands again, or replace cp with sudo cp“.

2. „:Open file“ /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/tr „:and append the following text block at the end of the file“:

// homepage: salif.github.io/colemak-tr
// version: 1
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "colemak_tr" {

  include "us(colemak)"

  name[Group1]= "Turkish (Colemak)";

  key <AD01> {[ odiaeresis,  Odiaeresis,  q,             Q          ]};
  key <AD02> {[ scedilla,    Scedilla,    w,             W          ]};
  key <AD10> {[ gbreve,      Gbreve,      semicolon,     colon      ]};
  key <AD11> {[ udiaeresis,  Udiaeresis,  bracketleft,   braceleft  ]};
  key <AD12> {[ apostrophe,  quotedbl,    bracketright,  braceright ]};
  key <AC09> {[ i,           Iabovedot                              ]};
  key <AC11> {[ idotless,    I                                      ]};
  key <AB02> {[ ccedilla,    Ccedilla,    x,             X          ]};

  include "level3(ralt_switch)"
};

3. „:Open file“ /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml „:and insert the following text block after the variant“ Turkish (Alt-Q):

<variant>
  <configItem>
    <name>colemak_tr</name>
    <description>Turkish (Colemak)</description>
  </configItem>
</variant>

4. „:Then add“ Turkish (Colemak) „:via the settings of your desktop environment“.

„:Uninstalling“

„:To uninstall restore the old files or undo everything you did“:

mv /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/tr.old /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/tr
mv /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml.old /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml

„:Updating“

„:Uninstall the old version and install the new version“.

„:Changes you make to files in the /usr/share/X11/xkb directory will be lost when the package owning that directory is updated, for example on Arch Linux this package is called xkeyboard-config. You must either make the same changes every time you update this package or turn off updates for this package. You also have the option to make a custom package that contains these changes and replaces the original package“.
