[wiki] Slovak keyboard on PDA GEMINI

I have a Gemini PDA with a US keyboard and SFOS does not support the Slovak keyboard. I made a virtual keyboard and key mapping.

The

/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/planet_vndr/gemini

file has a key mapping configuration. Backup it

$ devel-su cp /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/planet_vndr/gemini /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/planet_vndr/gemini.old

Open a gemini file for editing

$ devel-su vi /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/planet_vndr/gemini

At the end of the file insert the contents of the file from the attachment xkb_map_sk.txt - mapping Slovak characters to the keys of the Gemini PDA. SFOS for Gemini does not contain a Slovak keyboard but contains a Czech keyboard, I used this one (for Czech characters, there is no character mapping to the Gemini keyboard in SFOS). In the second line I changed "sk" to "cz"

xkb_symbols "cz"

Edited file

/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/planet_vndr/gemini

I saved. I made a backup so it won't get lost the next time SFOS is updated. In Settings/Entering Text, I chose Active keyboard Čeština, Active Layout Čeština. I restarted the device. I made a 2048x2048 keyboard layout picture slovak_layout_schema2048x2048.png and used it as Ambiences. In practice, it looks like this slovak_keyboard_gemini.jpg.
