Penclic Compact Keyboard Corded Bepo Penclic Compact Keyboard Corded Bepo With its 5 mm profile, the compact size of Penclic Compact Keyboard allows a more relaxed and natural working position to help prevent RSI. Penclic Compact Keyboard's comfortable low Quiet-touch keys minimise noise and its normal size keys provide a good tactile feeling which results in a quick response when typing. The keyboard also gives off minimal reflection, and its tonality usually matches the colour on your computer screen, ergonomically improving your visual comfort. Penclic launches their unique mini keyboard with a new thinking layout, combining contemporary Swedish design with user comfort and the open source Bépo layout for faster and more comfortable typing in French. The evolution of the keyboards started with the invention of the type writer, where the layouts, such as QWERTY and AZERTY, were dictated by the constraint of non-intersection of the type hammers. Therefore the keys are displayed in a way to fulfil the mechanical constraint without considering the practical user’s requirements (such as typing comfort). As a result, the most frequently used letters are placed unevenly on the keyboard, far away for each other. This keyboard disposition is not ergonomically optimal as the distances between keys are not evenly distributed on the keyboard, and hence, hand’s movement are not balanced, having as result an increase of hand muscle tensions that may lead to Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI). In the last few decades several attempts have been made to develop, improve and optimize the existing layouts. It is the case of DVORAK, an alternative solution of the QWERTY layout. As every language has its own linguistic practices and punctuation, the French BÉPO, an alternative layout to the French AZERTY has also been invented. BÉPO is a French keyboard layout where the keys are placed as per a statistical study of the French language. It includes in its centre (the rest line) the most common used letters in order to minimise the distance between them during typing and offer a more fluid and tension free typing experience. In the BÉPO layout all characters such as the é, è, à, ù…, are situated in the centre of the keyboard and not at the periphery as it is the case with the AZERTY layout. Different letters and more especially the “é” is one of the most frequently used character in French which is placed in the centre of the keyboard.

  • A Universal Amazigh Keyboard for Latin Script and Tifinagh
    LES RESSOURCES LANGAGIERES : CONSTRUCTION ET EXPLOITATION A universal Amazigh keyboard for Latin script and Tifinagh Paul Anderson [email protected] 1. Introduction Systems of Amazigh text encoding and corresponding keyboard layouts have tended to be narrowly aimed at specific user communities, because of differences in phonology and orthography across Amazigh language variants1. Keyboard layouts for language variants have therefore lacked orthographic features found in other regions. This restricted focus impedes users' experimentation with the writing of other Amazigh regional variants and converged literary forms where they differ in orthographic features or in script. So far there has been no way to type more than a handful of Amazigh variants intuitively on any one layout even within one script. This fragmented development has meant that keyboard driver implementations have often lagged behind advances in technology, and have usually failed to take into account general keyboard layout design, ergonomy and typing speed, and solutions from other Amazigh regions or non-Amazigh languages. Some users even preferred to improvise key definitions based on their own understanding, which often resulted in mistaken use of lookalike letters and diacritics. Keyboard layouts have also failed to provide for Amazigh minority populations around the world, and have considered the multilingual context of Amazigh language use only locally. Several scripts are commonly used to write Amazigh variants, and even within a script there are different orthographies in use. Some orthographies are formal 1 I use the term 'language variant' since distinguishing 'dialect' and 'language' is not necessary here. ~ 165 ~ LES RESSOURCES LANGAGIERES : CONSTRUCTION ET EXPLOITATION standards. In others, some features are obsolete but still in use, some features are still disputed, and some features are regional usages or personal initiatives, or are required only for writing more phonetically.

    From the files of Hugh Paterson III https://hughandbecky.us/Hugh-CV Keyboard layouts: Lessons from the Meꞌphaa and Sochiapam Chinantec designs Hugh Paterson III SIL International and the University of North Dakota [email protected] 15 December 2020 Version: Post-Print Preface In contrast to the publication of the original chapter, this post-print includes the references which were cited in the text, directly after the main text. Several style sheet changes have also been made: The main font has been changed, several small spelling corrections have been fixed, some diacritics are shown with ◌ rather than appearing bare, a table of ‘languages mentioned’ in the chapter, a list of abbreviations used, and in some places titles and names have been italicized as is commonly done in some publishing styles. The in-text citations for items mentioned as “in same volume” as the original chapter have now been added as full refernces. The book was first released in 2014, but the printed date/copyright date, as is common in many publishing venues, indicates the year following—in this case 2015. Even though author affiliation changed since publication, affiliation has been left as it was at the time of original authorship. Original publication Paterson III, Hugh J. 2015.

  • How to Enter Foreign Language Characters on Computers
    How to Enter Foreign Language Characters on Computers Introduction Current word processors and operating systems provide a large number of methods for writing special characters such as accented letters used in foreign languages. Unfortunately, it is not always obvious just how to enter such characters. Moreover, even when one knows a method of typing an accented letter, there may be a much simpler method for doing the same thing. This note may help you find the most convenient method for typing such characters. The choice of method will largely depend on how frequently you have to type in foreign languages. 1 The “ALT Key” Method This is the most common method of entering special characters. It always works, regardless of what pro- gram you are using. On both PCs and Macs, you can write foreign characters in any application by combining the ALT key (the key next to the space bar) with some alphabetic characters (on the Mac) or numbers (on PCs), pro- vided you type numbers on the numeric keypad, rather than using the numbers at the top of the keyboard. To do that, of course, also requires your NumLock Key to be turned on, which it normally will be. For example, On the Mac, ALT + n generates “ñ”. On the PC, ALT + (number pad) 164 or ALT + (number pad) 0241 generate “ñ”. A list of three- and four-digit PC codes for some common foreign languages appears at the end of this note. 2 The “Insert Symbol” Method Most menus in word processors and other applications offer access to a window displaying all the printable characters in a particular character set.

Tel: 370-5210-9314. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Received: February 23, 2018; Accepted: March 8, 2018; Published: March 26, 2018 Abstract The evaluation of the peculiarities of alphabets, particularly the frequency of letters is essential when designing keyboards, analysing texts, designing alphabet-based games, and doing some text mining. Thus, it is important to determine what might be useful for designers of text input tools, and of other technologies related to sets of letters. Knowledge of common features among different languages gives an opportunity to take advantage of the experience of other languages. Nowadays an increasing amount of texts is published on the Internet. In order to adequately compare the frequencies of letters in different languages used in the online space, Wikipedia texts have been selected as a source material for investigation. This paper presents the Method of the Adjacent Letter Frequency Differences in the frequency line, which helps to evaluate frequency breakpoints. This is a uniform evaluation criterion for 25 main languages using Latin script in order to highlight the similarities and differences among them. Research focuses on the letter frequency analysis in the area of rarely used native letters and frequently used foreign letters in a particular language.

  • Belgian AZERTY Keyboard
    Belgians, Flemings: Demand your Swiss Keyboard! Serge Y. Stroobandt Copyright 2013–2015, licensed under Creative Commons BY-NC-SA Belgian AZERTY keyboard Three variants: French, Belgian and Tamazight (Berber). The AZERTY layout is used in France, Belgium and some African countries. It differs from the QWERTY layout in this: • The location of the [A] and [Q] keys are interchanged. • The location of the [Z] and [W] keys are interchanged. • [M] is moved to the right of [L] (where [; :] is on a US keyboard), • The digits [0] to [9] are on the same keys, but to be typed the shift key must be pressed. The unshifted positions are used for accented characters, • [Caps lock] is replaced by [Shift lock] , thus affecting non-letter keys as well. However, there is an ongoing evolution towards a [Caps lock] key instead of a [Shift lock] . It is used by most French speakers based in Europe, though France and Bel- gium each have their own national variations on the layout. Luxemburg and the French-speaking part of Switzerland use the Swiss QWERTZ keyboard. Most of the residents of Quebec, the mainly French-speaking province of Canada, use a QWERTY keyboard that has been adapted to the French lan- guage, although the government of Quebec and the Canadian federal gov- ernment stipulate and use the Multilingual Standard keyboard CAN/CSA Z243.200-92.[1][2][3] Het is de meest gebruikelijke indeling in België en in Frankrijk. Het toetsen- bord is ontworpen om gemakkelijk Franstalige teksten te kunnen invoeren, doch wordt niet alleen in Franstalige gebieden gebruikt: in heel België, waaron- der het Nederlandstalige Vlaanderen, is AZERTY de norm.

  • Toward a Historically Faithful Performance of the Piano Works of Anton´Inqweˇrt´Y
    15 Toward a historically faithful performance of the piano works of Anton´ınQweˇrt´y William Gunther Brian Kell Google, Inc. Google, Inc. [email protected] [email protected] SIGBOVIK ’18 Carnegie Mellon University April −2, 2018 Concrete The great Czech composer Anton´ın Dvoˇr´ak (1841–1904) wrote many pieces for the piano, including the famous Humoresque No. 7 in G-flat Ma- jor [2]. Unfortunately, typical performances of these works today sound nothing like what the composer intended because most modern pianos are configured with a different keyboard layout. Through painstaking histor- ical research, we have reconstructed the original Dvoˇr´ak piano keyboard layout. We have applied this discovery by transposing the Humoresque so that it is playable on a modern piano, enabling the first historically faithful performance of this piece in over a century. 1 92 Figure 1: A Dvorak keyboard with the original or “classic” layout [3]. There are several variants of the Dvorak layout, but Dvoˇr´akwas a classical composer, so this is almost certainly the one he used. Furthermore, this layout has 44 white keys (not counting the spacebar, which is clearly used only for rests). That is exactly half of the number of keys on a piano. Thus we may confidently conclude that the left half of Dvoˇr´ak’s piano layout was just these 44 keys, while the right half was the same keys again with the Shift key held down. Figure 2: A modern QWERTY keyboard with the United States layout [4]. This layout has 47 white keys (not counting the spacebar), but obviouslythree of them are useless: nobody really needs the characters ‘~]}\| [1].

  • An Improved Arabic Keyboard Layout
    Sci.Int.(Lahore),33(1),5-15,2021 ISSN 1013-5316; CODEN: SINTE 8 5 AN IMPROVED ARABIC KEYBOARD LAYOUT 1Amjad Qtaish, 2Jalawi Alshudukhi, 3Badiea Alshaibani, 4Yosef Saleh, 5Salam Bazrawi College of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Ha'il, Ha'il, Saudi Arabia. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT: One of the most important human–machine interaction (HMI) systems is the computer keyboard. The keyboard layout (KL) dictates how a person interacts with a physical keyboard through the way in which the letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and symbols are mapped and arranged on the keyboard. Mapping letters onto the keys of a keyboard is complex because many issues need to be taken into considerations, such as the nature of the language, finger fatigue, hand balance, typing speed, and distance traveled by fingers during typing and finger movements. There are two main kinds of KL: English and Arabic. Although numerous research studies have proposed different layouts for the English keyboard, there is a lack of research studies that focus on the Arabic KL. To address this lack, this study analyzed and clarified the limitations of the standard legacy Arabic KL. Then an efficient Arabic KL was proposed to overcome the limitations of the current KL. The frequency of Arabic letters and bi-gram probabilities were measured on a large Arabic corpus in order to assess the current KL and to design the improved Arabic KL. The improved Arabic KL was then evaluated and compared against the current KL in terms of letter frequency, finger-travel distance, hand and finger balance, bi-gram frequency, row distribution, and most frequent words.

Note After running the Microsoft Language Register program, you should select the Japanese keyboard layout provided with the Apple OS, or a third-party keyboard layout of your choice. To do so, open System Preferences, click International, and then click the Input Menu tab. 4) In the menu bar at the top of the screen do you see American flag icon or “A” in the black box? Click the icon, and choose [あ] Hiragana. 2. How to Type ひらがな 2.1 Romaji Typing System When you type Japanese, you have to use Romanization because HIRAGANA or KATAKANA is not listed on your keyboard. But the Romanization you are supposed to use for the word processor is not quite the same as the one you learned in class. You have to interpret Romanization as a mere substitution for the written syllables, HIRAGANA. You first have to consider how the word you want to type is written in HIRAGANA and then transcribe each HIRAGANA character into corresponding romaji. After typing in the Romanization, hit ‘Enter’ key (do not hit ‘Space’ key before hitting ‘Enter’ key, that will convert HIRAGNA into Kanji). Hit space key after each word if you want to have a space.
