RE: keyboard mappings (keymaps) on BeOS and its open-source successor Haiku.

  • listarchives.zip - Archive of BEOS-KEYMAPS@LISTSERV.SNAKELEGS.COM mailing list (gone now).
  • uni2utf8.zip - Command-line application to print all Unicode values and their respective UTF-8 encodings. Source code included (4KB).
  • dvorak-us-standard.zip - Dvorak Standard Keyboard keymap and graphic.
  • dvorak-ansi-x4.22-1983.zip - Dvorak ANSI X4.22-1983 keymap and graphic. This is the ‘official’ version that no one uses. It differs from the Standard only in the placement of the keys [ ] { } = +.
  • unicode-utf8-list.zip - Text file containing all current Unicode characters and lists them in the following format:
    # SAMPLE: 0xe28da1	#  U+2361	APL FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL UP TACK DIAERESIS 0xe18f8a	#  U+13CA	CHEROKEE LETTER QUU

    The Unicode values and character names are taken from the 3.0 specification database.

  • characterentries.jpg - This picture just might save you a lot of time. It is a sample of the ways to enter characters in a keymap.
  • diacritics.txt - List of the Latin diacritics in keymap fashion.
  • dvorak-right.gif - Graphic of the Dvorak Right-Handed layout.
  • dvorak-left.gif - Graphic of the Dvorak Left-Handed layout.
  • charactermap.jpg - Screenshot of Michal Kowalski’s incredibly helpful application.
