[Blake McBride]

Dear Peter,

 χ is U03C7

The keyboard definitions I supplied included all of the characters used by GNU APL.

Thanks.

Hi Blake:

In your email of 5 Aug your mentioned the following missing mappings in the apl.xmodmap.

χ ⍹ ⍶ ⍷ ⍨ ¥ ⍸ ⍣ ⌷ ⍥ ¢ £ ⍙

The DyalogAlt.keylayout for OS X dated 2011-09-29 at 14:26 (GMT +1:00) (edited by Ukelele version 2.1.7) 

contains the following in the Shift + Alt plane

⍷ ⍨  ⍸ ⍣ ⌷ ⍥  £ ⍙

Because Dyalog is a UK based company they are using a UK keyboard which is why £ is available as Shift 3.

Using the below tool I propose adding χ ⍹ ⍶ to the Shift + Alt plane using the x,w,a keys which are available.

As for  ¥ and ¢ keys in the Shift + Alt plane they are also available so I propose to also map to those.

Do you or anyone else know what the Unicode for χ is?  Any objections or other suggestions anyone?

Thanks…

Peter

Ukelele is a Unicode Keyboard Layout Editor for Mac OS X versions 10.2 and later.

Version 2.0 and later are only for Mac OS X versions 10.4 and later.

Beginning with version 10.2 (Jaguar), Mac OS X supports an XML-based format for keyboard layouts (.keylayout files).

These may be installed by copying them to the Keyboard Layouts folder within /Library or ~/Library; then they are enabled via the Input Sources (Input in 10.5 and earlier) tab of the Language & Text (International in 10.5 and earlier) module within System Preferences.
