  3. Problems with dead keys on MKLC

    Hello,

    I’m using the Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 to create custom keyboard layouts that fit my typographic requirements. For the field that I study I need a lot of characters that aren’t available on the windows keyboard. I use dead keys to exploit a wider range
    of characters, but some of theese don't work out the way I want. For example, I have a key with the label ‘9’ that produces small capital letters like ᴀ, ʙ, ᴄ…. In an earlyer version the label was simply ‘ᴀ’, but every time I pressed the key the output would
    be ‘ᴀᴀ’, it was practically not a dead key but a zombie key.

    Currently I’m rebuilding the greek polytonic keyboard, because I don’t like where the special characters are located in the original layout. Now the same problem occurs with nearly every diacritical mark.

    When I press the keay for

    • ´ (oxia, U+1ffd)
    • ᾿ (psili, U+1fbf)
    and so on, nothing happens but windows making a light tone. There a two exceptions:

    1. ῏ (psili and perispomeni, U+1fcf) behaves like the small caps, which means the output is ‘῏῏’
    2. ΄ (tonos, U+0384), ͺ (iota subscript, U+037a), ̄ (macron, U+00af) and ̆ (breve, U+02d8) behave normally.

    Are there special constraints to the dead keys that I’m not aware of? I have no idea why for example ῏ (psili and perispomeni, U+1fcf) ῟ (dasia and preispomeni, U+1fdf) would behave differently.

    Thanks in advance
