* dvp-eu
2

3
  Just another variant of the dvorak layout, made for programmers that
4
  need also to type in non-english languages (mainly Italian and maybe
5
  other European languages.)

** Goals
8

9
   Build a decent, balanced layout and made it configurable through
10
   provided patches.

12
** Current status
13

14
   I've been using this for some years now, and for a very long time
15
   without modifying it, so I think I can consider it finished.
16

17
   There may still be improvements to made, and I would like to
18
   include a =patch= directory in the future with some "popular"
19
   variant.

** Usage
22

23
   Just put the =dvp-eu= file in some decent place, like
24
   =/usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/symbols/= on OpenBSD, the load it with
25
   =setxkbmap=.  In my =.xsession= I have:
26

27
   #+begin_src sh
28
     setxkbmap dvorak -option # remove all options
29
     setxkbmap dvp-eu -option lv3:ralt_switch -option ctrl:swapcaps
30
   #+end_src
31

32
** Preview
33

34
   #+CAPTION: The keyboard (caps lock and control aren't switched by the layout)
35
   #+NAME: fig:preview
36
   [[./preview.png]]
37

38
   The preview was generated with:
39

40
   #+BEGIN_SRC sh
41
   setxkbmap dvp-eu -print | xkbcomp - - | xkbprint - - > dvp-eu.ps
42
   #+END_SRC
