From 554b937d21f8c50515c22498f4f46df0b3ae6569 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: yonatanzunger <30514250+yonatanzunger@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2021 01:21:44 -0800 Subject: [Keymap] Redo the accent implementation in melody96:zunger. (#11000) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The previous implementation generated accents in NFKD -- e.g., i followed by fn+e would generate í, which is actually an ordinary i followed by U+0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT. Unfortunately, it turns out that a bunch of websites and apps (especially European ones written in languages that use these a lot) were very poorly written, and will misparse and/or crash if presented with Unicode NFKD. They require and expect NFKC, with characters like í (U+00ED LATIN SMALL I WITH ACUTE) that look visually identical -- and are in fact normalization-equivalent -- but have to be encoded differently. The new accent implementation handles this in a very flexible way. Many new comments added as well, as it's also clear that this is going to need a bit more expansion before it becomes a true polyglot keymap.

The GREEK and CADET layers +// are actually full of Unicode points, and so which point they generate depends on things like +// whether the shift key is down. To handle this, each of those layers is actually *two* layers, one +// with and one without shift. In our main loop, we manage modifier state detection, as well as +// layer switch detection, and pick the right layer on the fly. +// Layers are selected with a combination of three keys. The "Greek" and "Cadet" keys act like +// modifiers: When held down, they transiently select the indicated base layer. The "Layer Lock" key +// locks the value of the base layer at whatever is currently held; so e.g., if you hold Greek + +// Layer Lock, you'll stay in Greek mode until you hit Layer Lock again without any of the mods +// held. +// TODO: This system of layer selection is nice for math, but it's not very nice for actually +// typing in multiple languages. It seems like a better plan will be to reserve one key for each +// base layer -- maybe fn + F(n) -- which can either be held as a modifier or tapped to switch +// layers. That will open up adding some more languages, like Yiddish, but to do this effectively +// we'll need to find a good UI with which to show the currently selected layer. Need to check what +// the melody96 has in the way of outputs (LEDs, sound, etc). +// +// ACCENT MAGIC (aka, typing conveniently in Romance languages) +// We want to support easy typing of diacritical marks. We can't rely on the host OS for this, +// because (e.g.) on MacOS, to make any of the other stuff work, we need to be using the Unicode +// input method at the OS level, which breaks all the normal accent stuff on that end. So we do it +// ourselves. Accents can actually be invoked in two different ways: one fast and very compatible, +// one very versatile but with occasional compatibility problems. +// +// THE MAIN WAY: You can hit one of the "accent request" key patterns immediately *before* typing +// a letter to be accented. It will emit the corresponding accented Unicode. For example, you can +// hit fn-e to request an acute accent, followed by i, and it will output í, U+00ED LATIN SMALL +// LETTER I WITH ACUTE. These "combined characters" are in Unicode normal form C (NFKC), which is +// important because many European websites and apps, in particular, tend to behave very badly +// (misunderstanding and/or crashing) when presented with characters in other forms! The catch is +// that this only works for the various combinations of letters and accents found in the Latin-1 +// supplement block of Unicode -- basically, things you need for Western European languages. +// +// (NB: If you make an accent request followed by a letter which can't take the corresponding +// accent, it will output the uncombined form of the accent followed by whatever you typed; so +// e.g., if you hit fn-e followed by f, it will output ´f, U+00B4 ACUTE ACCENT followed by an +// ordinary f. This is very similar to the default behavior of MacOS.) +// +// THE FLEXIBLE WAY: If you hit the accent request with a shift -- e.g., fn-shift-e -- it will +// instead immediately output the corresponding *combining* Unicode accent mark, which will modify +// the *previous* character you typed. For example, if you type i followed by fn-shift-e, it will +// generate í. But don't be fooled by visual similarity: unlike the previous example, this one is +// an ordinary i followed by U+0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT. It's actually *two symbols*, and this +// is Unicode normal form D (NFKD). Unlike NFKC, there are NFKD representations of far more +// combinations of letters and accents, and it's easy to add more of these if you need. (The NFKC +// representation of such combinations is identical to their NFKD representation) +// +// Programs that try to compare Unicode strings *should* first normalize them by converting them +// all into one normal form or another, and there are functions in every programming language to +// do this -- e.g., JavaScript's string.normalize() -- but lots of programmers fail to understand +// this, and so write code that massively freaks out when it encounters the wrong form. +// +// The current accent request codes are modeled on the ones in MacOS. +// +// fn+` Grave accent (`) +// fn+e Acute accent (´) +// fn+i Circumflex (^) +// fn+u Diaresis / umlaut / trema (¨) +// fn+c Cedilla (¸) +// fn+n Tilde (˜) +// +// Together, these functions make for a nice "polyglot" keyboard: one that can easily type in a wide +// variety of languages, which is very useful for people who, well, need to type in a bunch of +// languages. +// +// The major TODOs are: +// - Update the layer selection logic (and add visible layer cues); +// - Factor the code below so that the data layers are more clearly separated from the code logic, +// so that other users of this keymap can easily add whichever alphabets they need without +// having to deeply understand the implementation. + enum custom_keycodes { // We provide special layer management keys: @@ -32,6 +109,16 @@ enum custom_keycodes { KC_GREEK = SAFE_RANGE, KC_CADET, KC_LAYER_LOCK, + + // These are the keycodes generated by the various "accent request" keystrokes. + KC_ACCENT_START, + KC_CGRV = KC_ACCENT_START, // Grave accent + KC_CAGU, // Acute accent + KC_CDIA, // Diaresis / umlaut / trema + KC_CCIR, // Circumflex + KC_CCED, // Cedilla + KC_CTIL, // Tilde + KC_ACCENT_END, }; enum layers_keymap { @@ -49,21 +136,6 @@ enum layers_keymap { #define MO_FN MO(_FUNCTION) #define KC_LLCK KC_LAYER_LOCK -// TODO: To generalize this, we want some #defines that let us specify how each key on the base -// layer should map to the four special layers, and then use that plus the base layer definition to -// autogenerate the keymaps for the other layers. -// TODO: It would also be nice to be able to put the actual code points in here, rather than -// numbers. - -// Accent marks -#define CMB_GRV H(0300) -#define CMB_AGU H(0301) -#define CMB_DIA H(0308) -#define CMB_CIR H(0302) -#define CMB_MAC H(0304) -#define CMB_CED H(0327) -#define CMB_TIL H(0303) - const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] = { // NB: Using GESC for escape in the QWERTY layer as a temporary hack because I messed up the @@ -164,14 +236,119 @@ const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] = { // Function layer is mostly for keyboard meta-control operations, but also contains the combining // accent marks.
