This repo contains:
charset - Keyboard layouts configs of Frankie and OkidoKey lexicon - Chinese phrased or idioms in csv format table - Input method data tables in cin format
Each .charset.json must have name, charsets properties.
The name property must be unique in the whole collections. charsets can have multiple strings, each string presents one row of the custom keyboard, it's best to keep in 3 to 4 rows per charset.
Optional properties:
description: description for the charset
flicks: flick keys for this charset
keynameType: currently, the only accepted value is label, which means the key label can be used as keys for keyname, for example [1:abc] means when key 1 pressed, it means either a, b or c.

"[1:ㄅ][2:ㄉ][3:ˇ][4:ˋ][5:ㄓ][6:ˊ][7:˙][8:ㄚ][9:ㄞ][0:ㄢ][-:ㄦ]",
"[Q:ㄆ][W:ㄊ][E:ㄍ][R:ㄐ][T:ㄔ][Y:ㄗ][U:ㄧ][I:ㄛ][O:ㄟ][P:ㄣ]",
"[A:ㄇ][S:ㄋ][D:ㄎ][F:ㄑ][G:ㄕ][H:ㄘ][J:ㄨ][K:ㄜ][L:ㄠ][;:ㄤ]",
"[shift][Z:ㄈ][X:ㄌ][C:ㄏ][V:ㄒ][B:ㄖ][N:ㄙ][M:ㄩ][,:ㄝ][.:ㄡ][/:ㄥ][del]",
"[next][globe][space][return]"
]
}
Each key format is wrapping by [] and use : as the separator. For example [1:ㄅ] represent a key with character 1 and label ㄅ, if the character and label are the same, you may ignore the label, i.e. [A]. The character must be 1 character only, but the label has no length limit, however, less then 3 characters are recommended.
If there is a * followed by the character, then the key will display as a function key, but it still works as a regular key.
If the keynameType is the label, and when the character should be recognized as keyname, then it must be the character, label pairs, i.e. [ˇ:ˇ] otherwise it might be recognized as a regular symbol.
Charset separates into 3 categories:
The name has -pad suffix: regular layout for iPad, without tab, capslock keys in general
The name has -fullsize suffix: full-size keyboard layout brought by iPad Pro 12.9
The name has -choco suffix: telephone keypad layout (chocolate), every key in the keyboard is the same size
The name without any suffix: regular layout for iPhone
A few reserved combinations represent special keys.
[capslock]— caps lock key[del]— backspace key[dismiss]— dismiss keyboard for iPad[dummy]— Spacing between keys, [dummy] or [dummy:1] for one key width, [dummy:2] for half key width, only 1 or 2 is valid.[esc]- escape key[globe]— switch to system keyboard[next]— switch to next charset in OkidoKey.app keyboards[return]— return key[shift]— shift key[space]— space key[tab]— tab key
Just use make command, check makefile for the details
