[germefur]

Hi, this keyboard don't have latam support, so i made it.
Hola, este teclado no tiene soporte latam, asi que lo hice.

I have tested it all, and it works in any Xorg session
Lo he testeado todo, y funciona en cualquier sesion de Xorg

to install it, copy this in the end of your latam file, in
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/latam

para instalarlo, copia esto al final de tu archivo latam, en
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/latam

to activate it, run
para activarlo, corre

setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout latam\(halmak\)

a personal improvement is activate caps:backspace, that converts your (unused) caps lock key to a backspace.
and allow it to repeat (the xset at the end)
una mejora personal es activar caps:backspace, que convierte tu (sin uso) tecla bloq mayus en un retroceso.
y permitirle la repetición (el xset al final)

setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout latam\(halmak\) -option caps:backspace && xset r 66

uninstall - desinstalar

to uninstall it, just delete the code you have pasted in your latam file
para desinstalarlo, solo borra el codigo que pegaste en tu archivo latam

Note: you must run the command to apply every session, but you can automate it, writing the command in ~/.xprofile
Nota: deberas correr el comando para aplicar cada sesion, pero puedes automatizarlo escribiendo el comando en ~/.xprofile

Does using the same layout as in English make sense when it's "Build based on the real world hand movements analysis" (using English words)? Shouldn't the Spanish layout be build using the real world hand movements with Spanish words?
