# UK English (Phonemic) keyboard layout # Copyright (c) 2024 Neil Raiden (AGPL v.3) # # Note: # * XKB does not allow to type more than one Unicode point per key press # * The **English (US, Phonemic)** keyboard layout requires to type 14 phonemes up to 3 unicode points in length # * single-symbol code point are produced by layout defined in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/usphonem # * for longer sequences the layout sends out Unicode points from unassigned range U+FDD0-U+FDEF (aka non-characters) # * those non-characters are then converted by ~/.XCompose to proper phoneme sequences # ## Notes: (source: https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/man/man5/Compose.5.xhtml) ## There are several substitutions that can be made in the file name of the included instruction: ## %H - expands to the user’s home directory (the $HOME environment variable) ## %L - expands to the name of the locale specific Compose file (i.e., "/usr/share/X11/locale//Compose") ## %S - expands to the name of the system directory for Compose files (i.e., "/usr/share/X11/locale") ## For example, you can include in your compose file the default Compose file by using: ## include "%L" ## and then rewrite only the few rules that you need to change. New compose rules can be added, and previous ones replaced. include "%L" # after any modifications to this file run command: # ibus restart # ------ Layer 1 (unshifted) ------ #┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬──────┐ #│ ` │ 1 │ 2 │ 3 │ 4 │ 5 │ 6 │ 7 │ 8 │ 9 │ 0 │ - │ = │ bksp │ #├───┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬────┤ #│ tab │ɔɪ │ w │ ɛ │ r │ t │ ɑ │ ʌ │ ɪ │ ɒ │ p │ [ │ ] │ \ │ #├─────┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴────┤ #│ caps │ ə │ s │ d │ f │ ɡ │ h │ j │ k │ l │ ; │ ' │ ent │ #├───────┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴──────┤ #│ shift │ z │ɜr │tʃ │ v │ b │ n │ m │ , │ . │ / │ shift │ #└─────────┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴────────┘ # ------ Layer 2 (shifted) ------ #┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬──────┐ #│ ~ │ ! │ @ │ £ │ $ │ % │ ^ │ & │ * │ ( │ ) │ _ │ + │ bksp │ #├───┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬────┤ #│ tab │aʊ │ɪə │eɪ │ɑr │ θ │ ɔ │ ʊ │ i │ɔʊ │ɔr │ { │ } │ | │ #├─────┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴────┤ #│ caps │ æ │ ʃ │ər │aɪ │ · │ ð │dʒ │ « │ » │ : │ " │ ent │ #├───────┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴──────┤ #│ shift │ ʒ │er │ɪər│juː│ ⸰ │ ŋ │uː │ ‹ │ › │ ? │ shift │ #└─────────┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴────────┘ # Using characters from Latin-1 range U+00C0-00CF — "Latin-1 Supplement (0080–00FF)": # # consonants: : "tʃ" # c U0074 U0283 # À Latin Capital Letter A with grave : "dʒ" # J U0064 U0292 # Á Latin Capital letter A with acute # long vowels: : "ɑ" # y U0251 # Â Latin Capital letter A with circumflex : "ɔ" # Y U0254 # Ã Latin Capital letter A with tilde : "i" # I U0069 # Ä Latin Capital letter A with diaeresis : "u" # M U0075 # Å Latin Capital letter A with ring above # diphtongs: : "ju" # V U006A U0075 # È Latin Capital letter E with grave : "eɪ" # E U0065 U026A # É Latin Capital letter E with acute : "aɪ" # F U0061 U026A # Ê Latin Capital letter E with circumflex : "ɔɪ" # q U0254 U026A # Ë Latin Capital letter E with diaeresis : "aʊ" # Q U0061 U028A # Ì Latin Capital letter I with grave : "ɔʊ" # O U0254 U028A # Í Latin Capital letter I with acute : "ɪə" # W U026A U0259 # Î Latin Capital letter I with circumflex # R-colored vowels: : "ər" # D U0259 U0072 # Ï Latin Capital letter I with diaeresis : "ɜr" # x U025C U0072 # Ò Latin Capital letter O with grave : "ɑr" # R U0251 U0072 # Ó Latin Capital letter O with acute : "ɔr" # P U0254 U0072 # Ô Latin Capital letter O with circumflex : "er" # X U0065 U0072 # Õ Latin Capital letter O with tilde : "ɪər" # C U026A U0259 U0072 # Ö Latin Capital letter O with diaeresis # ------------ # Latin-1 Supplement (0080–00FF): # U+00C0 À Latin Capital Letter A with grave # U+00C1 Á Latin Capital letter A with acute # U+00C2 Â Latin Capital letter A with circumflex # U+00C3 Ã Latin Capital letter A with tilde # U+00C4 Ä Latin Capital letter A with diaeresis # U+00C5 Å Latin Capital letter A with ring above # U+00C6 Æ Latin Capital letter AE # U+00C7 Ç Latin Capital letter C with cedilla # U+00C8 È Latin Capital letter E with grave # U+00C9 É Latin Capital letter E with acute # U+00CA Ê Latin Capital letter E with circumflex # U+00CB Ë Latin Capital letter E with diaeresis # U+00CC Ì Latin Capital letter I with grave # U+00CD Í Latin Capital letter I with acute # U+00CE Î Latin Capital letter I with circumflex # U+00CF Ï Latin Capital letter I with diaeresis # U+00D0 Ð Latin Capital letter Eth # U+00D1 Ñ Latin Capital letter N with tilde # U+00D2 Ò Latin Capital letter O with grave # U+00D3 Ó Latin Capital letter O with acute # U+00D4 Ô Latin Capital letter O with circumflex # U+00D5 Õ Latin Capital letter O with tilde # U+00D6 Ö Latin Capital letter O with diaeresis # # (in vim ":set ts=6") # 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f # Ax NBSP ¡ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¦ § ¨ © ª « ¬ SHY ® ¯ # Bx ° ± ² ³ ´ µ ¶ · ¸ ¹ º » ¼ ½ ¾ ¿ # Cx À Á Â Ã Ä Å Æ Ç È É Ê Ë Ì Í Î Ï # Dx Ð Ñ Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö × Ø Ù Ú Û Ü Ý Þ ß # Ex à á â ã ä å æ ç è é ê ë ì í î ï # Fx ð ñ ò ó ô õ ö ÷ ø ù ú û ü ý þ ÿ # after any modifications run command: # ibus restart # ------------
