Workman (International Variation)
A downloadable keyboard layout for Windows and Linux
This is a variation of a keyboard layout called Workman, with many additional useful symbols such as ¡°§©®™€∞×÷−≈±»«√¿ and letters from other languages, including Polish (ż ł ą ę ń etc), French and Spanish (dead keys for accents ´ ` ^ ¨ and ñ ç) and a few other useful (to me) characters such as å µ π ß.
These are the layouts:
(Notice the tickboxes for holding down Shift and AltGr on the left)
(The gray keys under 1-5 are dead keys - they don't type anything until you type a character after them, resulting in a new character. For example, typing '´' and then 'a' results in á.)
Here is the full list of dead key combinations:
´: á é í ó ú ý ń ć ś ź
`: à è ì ò ù ỳ
^: â ê î ô û ŷ
¨: ä ë ï ö ü ÿ
˛: ą ę ç
(Including capital letters ofc.)
The Linux version has a few differences, but you'll figure it out.
(This was mostly made for myself, so I included the MSKLC file if you want to make any adjustments to the languages you use.)
Download
Install instructions
Run setup.exe included in the .zip file.
For Linux:
Append the content of the "us" file in the downloads section to the file "us" in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ using a sudo text editor (I use Sublime Text). Then, add the following stuff to /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst
workman-89o us: English (Workman, 89o variation)
after the line beginning with "workman-intl", and add the following stuff to /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml
<variant>
<configitem>
<name>workman-89o</name>
<description>English (Workman, 89o variation)</description>
</configitem>
</variant>
after the variant "workman-intl". Then, run the command
setxkbmap -v us workman-89o
and you should be golden. Restart just to make sure.
If that doesn't work (didn't for me on Debian 12), just replace most of the content of the "workman-intl" keyboard layout and switch to that. You'll figure it out.
