Extra keyboard layouts?

Post by rosuser1 »

How am I to add some extra keyboard layouts to ReactOs?
The ones supplied with the installation CD are highly insufficient.

As far as I know, Bulgarian QWERTY keyboard layout is the same as US English, only with different name...

Since Bulgarian uses 30 cyrillic letters and English uses 26 latin, the keyboard layouts cannot be the same. Besides, I could not find how to install more than one keyboard layouts and how to switch between them?

well, it seems like your best option is to create it yourself.

It takes some time to do it but it's not all that hard.

I see there is "Bulgarian (Latin)" layout on Windows XP (code 10402), which uses kbdus.dll, i.e. US English.

This is probably added if someone, who is used to the Bulgarian gouverment standart layout (position of the keys) wants to write in latin letters. I've never heard of s.o. using it.

You can implement the layout till layout switching is implemented.

I read that creating a keyboard layout switcher is in progress. Probably some windows switcher like "Keyboard ninja" would do, too.
