// This file adds full UTF-8 SAMARITAN keyboard mapping to X11.
// INSTRCUCTIONS:
//
// As ROOT ...
// 1. Replace your existing /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/il file with this one.
//
// 2. Modify /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml to include:
//
//
//
// samaritan
// Hebrew (Samaritan)
//
//
//
// in the Hebrew section of the file. (Search for "Hebrew," and insert
// the above lines in between two existing 'variants.') Save the file.
//
// 3. From the terminal, run: sudo rm /var/lib/xkb/*.xkm
// This will force X11 to recompile all of your keyboard layouts when
// you restart the X Server. This step is especially important if you've
// modified this layout after using it.
//
// 4. Log out and log back in (i.e. restart the X Server).
//
// 5. Add "Hebrew (Samaritan)" to the keyboard switcher in whichever window manager
// you use (e.g. Gnome, KDE, Unity, etc.).
// based on a keyboard map from an 'xkb/symbols/il' file
// This is a partial implemetation of the Israeli standard SI-1452
// It does not implement changes to the English layout ("Alt-English"),
// as I believe that it is not the job of this layout to modify the English
// layout.

// The 'Biblical Hebrew' keyboard layout as defined by Tiro for use with the
// 'SBL Hebrew' font was added 2006.11.13 by Sebastian J. Bronner
// . Its primary features (as compared to the lyx layout)
// are that the consonants are in the Israeli standard positions, that a great
// multitude of glyphs can be input directly from the keyboard, and that it is
// the closest thing to a standard layout a theologian can hope for.
// Documentation (including printable keyboard tables), SBL Hebrew font, and
// keyboard layout for Windows are available at
// http://www.sbl-site.org/Resources/Resources_BiblicalFonts.aspx.
//
// It is of interest that the 'basic' layout defined first in this file (as
// ships with x.org disagrees in the non-consonant characters that the Tiro-
// layout claims to be the Israeli standard. Tiros apparent diligence in the
// PDF-documentation accompanying the keyboard-layout-files lead me to put
// greater stock in their claim than in this file. Therefore, the 'biblical'
// layout below does not include 'il(basic)' but redoes the _whole_ thing from
// scratch.
