1 * 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.)
6 
7 ** Goals
8 
9    Build a decent, balanced layout and made it configurable through
10    provided patches.
11 
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.
20 
21 ** 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
