[Biblical-languages] Hebrew keyboard

Peter,
Thanks for the prompt response.
When Keyman (6.0) is looking for a visual keyboard layout the intended file
extension is .kvk, hence my question. Apparently SIL have not provided one.
If my understanding is correct, the visual keyboard would have to match the
key assignments for Ezra SIL, as you say. But if some other Hebrew layout
for Keyman also had a visual Keyboard layout, that would work with Ezra or
any other Hebrew Unicode font?
That aside, I now have the Ezra SIL printout. While it is not the same as
the TrueType font I have been using, SIL have their own logic, and I suspect
it will not be hard to learn (now that I found the dagesh!).
Thanks again,
Bernard

Well, the data you need are in the file Ezra SIL Keyboard Chart.pdf
which comes with the Ezra SIL distribution. As a workaround, you can
always print this out and keep it beside your keyboard.
Keyman 6.0 has a visual keyboard feature built in, but it may not be
enabled for this font.
I don't know what a .kvk file is, nor does Google, but it would be no
use to you to have one which doesn't go with this particular
non-standard keyboard layout.
