THIS PROJECT IS DEPRECATED, FOR THE NEWER VERSION PLEASE VISIT https://github.com/Julius-Gu/FrenchTyperJS
This is a small and lightweight programm allowing users to copy all of the special french symbols to the clipboard. Then you can paste it into any word processor / text editor that supports unicode (that is pretty much anyone out there) with Ctrl+C.
It was written in plain C with GTK+ 3.0. Feel free to distribute it under the terms of the GNU General Public License 3.0 or higher.
Instructions to use under windows with an Intel or AMD 64 bit processor:
- Download FrenchTyperWin64.zip.
- You should be able to just open it in your file manager and run the programm by double clicking on the "FrenchTyperWin64" link.
- If this does not work try extracting the folder first.
Instructions to user under Linux with an Intel or AMD 64 bit processor:
- Download the precompiled FrenchTyper (the one without the ".c" file extension)
- try double clicking it and click execute if you have to
- if this does not work try installing gtk 3.0
- under Debian this would be:
sudo apt install libgtk-3-0 - double click the file
Dependencies are libgtk-3-0
(sudo apt install libgtk-3-0)
The C File can be compiled on Linux with
cd [Directory of the File]
gcc FrenchTyper.c -o FrenchTyper `pkg-config --libs --cflags gtk+-3.0`
This idea came when I had to write a french text on a German Keyboard. Hope it will be usefull.
this is the first project I hosted so please let me know about any mistakes or if you would like a license change. (I am fine with changing it to e.g. MIT Licence on request)
ToDo:
- Add more comments make program more comprehensible
Best Regards, Julius
