"dead key is not defined" when converting from .klc
lord-ne opened this issue · 9 comments
When converting a certain .klc file (attached), I get the error klfc: warning: dead key ‘ְ’ is not defined., and the converted output files (also attached) do not contain the dead key definition. The dead key is definitely defined, on lines 95-102 of the input. I've attached my input file, as well as all of the output files produced by the conversion (which do not include the dead key).
he_phon.klc.txt (renamed to .txt to attach)
output.zip (zipped)
Here's the full text of the input file, for easier viewing. The input contains the dead key definition.

That line if where the magic's supposed to happen, right? AltGr+Shift+Apostrophe should produce the Sheva dead key.
I've experienced that you cannot always use non-ASCII marks for dead key names. Maybe that's your problem. Try calling your dead key period instead of sheva. You can still have it output exactly the same symbols as it does now!
Oh, and while I have your attention: Could you please take the time to swing by my EPKL repo and tell me what you think of the phonetic Colemak layout there? I'm a bit stoked about inventing those dead keys on O and Y for writing niqqud and so much more.
https://github.com/DreymaR/BigBagKbdTrixPKL/tree/master/Layouts/Colemak/Cmk-eD-Heb
How do I change the "name" of a dead key without changing the actual definition? (Note that in many word processors, pressing the dead key and then pressing any character other than those the dead key maps will send the actual character of the dead key, followed by the character you typed.)
Your keyboard layout is definitely interesting, although I'm not that familiar with Colemak in general. I would say that I definitely prefer using AltGr and AltGr+Shift for nikud as opposed to dead keys, but that's just my personal preference. I find that the segregation of anything nikud-related to the AltGr key makes my life easier because 99% of the time I'm not using nikud.
Change the 05b0@ entry to, e.g., 002e@, and accordingly change the KEYNAME_DEAD 05b0 "HEBREW POINT SHEVA" and DEADKEY 05b0 below from 05b0 to 002e. That should work I think. You should specify a space release (a 0020 entry) for the dead key at the end of its table, that's tradition. I'm not sure, but that entry may be the one the dead key releases on untabulated releases as well. If not, maybe you have to live with imperfection. I seem to remember having similar problems with MSKLC and Greek character dead keys.
Niqqudot is a conundrum, for sure. Most people nearly never use it, but I think that if you are to use them then AltGr mappings would make that very uncomfortable. For a "1%" use case that's okay but for a scholar it wouldn't be cool. The dead keys, furthermore, can release a lot more than just niqqud including special Hebrew characters and Yiddish. I'm taking that further now by including a Compose method so you could for instance compose a yod-yod bigram to a yod-yod digraph. EPKL is a fun project!
The dead key works properly on Windows, so this isn't a problem with MSKLC, it's a problem with this conversion tool. I think I'll leave it as-is for now, I'm not really using any of the other platform formats right now anyway. Maybe I'll add something to my conversion script to make a copy with the sheva dead key replaced with a period, and convert from that.
Yeah, I'm just guessing at why Aldo's tool might have a problem with that DK.
I'd still recommend that you follow the convention of including a space release for your dead key. All standard DKs have that, ttbomk. An example from my own layout, where I also made a NBSP release for the combining accent:
0067 011f // g -> ğ
00a0 0306 // -> ̆
0020 02d8 // -> ˘
I'll add it in
There was an issue with the KLC parsing: it behaved like the ligature part extended to the end of the file (with most having no values of course). I have pushed a fix, but as a workaround you can simply put the DEADKEY 05b0 section above the LIGATURE section if you want to use the current version.
