[Feature] Nordic Keyboard support

Open MagicBOTAlex opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Hey, I only use Nordic keyboard layout, and I'm wondering if this would be something that would be possible to add.

Nordic keyboards are used in:

  • [x] Denmark (Me)
  • [ ] Norway
  • [ ] Sweeden

As far as I know, so it would be great having support for the nordic layout.

Also, I have contributed to other open-source projects before, but they usually have a contributing section in the readme. So is contribution possible/allowed? It's also a way for me to support the project.

There is a CONTRIBUTING file here: https://github.com/elvissteinjr/DesktopPlus/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING Generally, contributions are accepted and expected to be licensed under the project's license, so GPL 3.0. However, for practicality's sake I'm also asking for a personal exemption for the Steam release in case I'll ever have to link to the non-free Steam API to allow for specific features. As of right now this hasn't happened yet and binaries distributed are identical with the GitHub releases.

I do admit this is pretty much a one-man show and not a group effort project with public roadmap, etc, but it's not closed to contributions. It just hasn't happened much yet.

Keyboard layouts can be created via the Keyboard Layout Editor included in the application. So they technically don't even need to be shipped with the official release to be usable in it. But of course I'll gladly accept any contributions for additional layouts.

Hey, I just want to give a heads up. I said I would give it a shot and I intend to hold my word. I will do so whenever I get time again. But unfortunately, it is exam season, so I'm quite busy.

I won't be creating layouts for Norway and Sweden, though. I have no idea how their layout actually is, but should be similar to the Danish layout.
