I once (in ver 21.3) made a copy of leim/quail/hebrew.el and then
modified it make a new input method "heblish" (more descriptively it
would be hebrew-trans). Then I added this to leim-list.el:
(register-input-method
"heblish" "Hebrew" 'quail-use-package
"א" "Homebrew input method."
"quail/heblish")
then in heblish.el
(quail-define-package
"heblish" "Hebrew" "א" t "Homebrew input method.
Based on hebrew.el but transliterated (mostly)rather than conforming to
Israeli keyboard.
Hebrew letters are assigned to lowercases, some stand-alone diacritics
to upper case."
nil t nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil t)
there followed a bunch of key-character pairs (utf-8)like:
(quail-define-rules
("+" ?﬩) ;; alt plus
("q" ?ק)
("q." ?קּ)
("Q" ?ֻ) ;; qubuts
("w" ?ש)
("w." ?שּ)
("e" ?ֶ) ;; segol
("E" ?ֱ) ;; hataf segol
("r" ?ר)
("r." ?רּ)
("t" ?ט)
("t." ?טּ)
("y" ?ע)
("u" ?ת)
("u." ?תּ)
("i" ?י)
("i." ?יּ)
("o" ?ַ) ;; patah
("O" ?ֲ) ;; hataf patah
....
and many more
This actually worked after a fashion but of course in left to right
order. I think I copy-pasted characters from hebrew.el so that they
would be saved correctly in iso-2022-7bit coding but I don't remember
the details now. It was more an exercise than a practical necessity.
Questions:
Why are the quail/nnnnn.el files all in that 7bit encoding, even in
Emacs ver. 23? If I can get leim-list.el and heblish.el looking right in
an emacs buffer, how do I save them to ensure that the coding is
correct? Sometimes an encoding error (I think in leim-list.el) causes
not only Emacs but the entire OS to freeze (mswin2000). Is the correct
way of registering an additional input method to put it in leim-ext.el?
Thanks,
Ed
