|

|
||||
To give an example, if you're using software-implemented Colemak, and want to get an `F`, you would use `CM_F` - `KC_F` under these same circumstances would result in `T`.

## Additional language support
|
||||
|
||||
In `quantum/keymap_extras/`, you'll see various language files - these work the same way as the alternative layout ones do. Most are defined by their two letter country/language code followed by an underscore and a 4-letter abbreviation of its name. `FR_UGRV` which will result in a `ù` when using a software-implemented AZERTY layout. It's currently difficult to send such characters in just the firmware (but it's being worked on - see Unicode support).
|
||||
|
||||
## Unicode support
|
||||
|
||||
There are three Unicode keymap definition method available in QMK:
|
||||
|
||||
### UNICODE_ENABLE
|
||||
|
||||
Supports Unicode input up to 0xFFFF. The keycode function is `UC(n)` in
|
||||
keymap file, where *n* is a 4 digit hexadecimal.
|
||||
|
||||
### UNICODEMAP_ENABLE
|
||||
|
||||
Supports Unicode up to 0xFFFFFFFF. You need to maintain a separate mapping
|
||||
table `const uint32_t PROGMEM unicode_map[] = {...}` in your keymap file.
|
||||
The keycode function is `X(n)` where *n* is the array index of the mapping
|
||||
table.
|
||||
|
||||
### UCIS_ENABLE
|
||||
|
||||
TBD
|
||||
|
||||
Unicode input in QMK works by inputing a sequence of characters to the OS,
|
||||
sort of like macro. Unfortunately, each OS has different ideas on how Unicode is inputted.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the current list of Unicode input method in QMK:
|
||||
|
||||
* UC_OSX: MacOS Unicode Hex Input support. Works only up to 0xFFFF. Disabled by default. To enable: go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Input Sources, and enable Unicode Hex.
|
||||
* UC_LNX: Unicode input method under Linux. Works up to 0xFFFFF. Should work almost anywhere on ibus enabled distros. Without ibus, this works under GTK apps, but rarely anywhere else.
|
||||
* UC_WIN: (not recommended) Windows built-in Unicode input. To enable: create registry key under `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method\EnableHexNumpad` of type `REG_SZ` called `EnableHexNumpad`, set its value to 1, and reboot. This method is not recommended because of reliability and compatibility issue, use WinCompose method below instead.
|
||||
* UC_WINC: Windows Unicode input using WinCompose. Requires [WinCompose](https://github.com/samhocevar/wincompose). Works reliably under many (all?) variations of Windows.

This requires [some hardware changes](https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/3psx0q/the_planck_keyboard_with_bluetooth_guide_and/?ref=search_posts), but can be enabled via the Makefile. The firmware will still output characters via USB, so be aware of this when charging via a computer. It would make sense to have a switch on the Bluefruit to turn it off at will.

## International Characters on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
[AutoHotkey](https://autohotkey.com) allows Windows users to create custom hotkeys among others.
|
||||
|
||||
The method does not require Unicode support in the keyboard itself but depends instead of AutoHotkey running in the background.
|
||||
|
||||
First you need to select a modifier combination that is not in use by any of your programs.
|
||||
CtrlAltWin is not used very widely and should therefore be perfect for this.
|
||||
There is a macro defined for a mod-tab combo `LCAG_T`.
|
||||
Add this mod-tab combo to a key on your keyboard, e.g.: `LCAG_T(KC_TAB)`.
|
||||
This makes the key behave like a tab key if pressed and released immediately but changes it to the modifier if used with another key.
|
||||
|
||||
In the default script of AutoHotkey you can define custom hotkeys.
|
||||
|
||||
<^<!<#a::Send, ä
|
||||
<^<!<#<+a::Send, Ä
|
||||
|
||||
The hotkeys above are for the combination CtrlAltGui and CtrlAltGuiShift plus the letter a.
|
||||
AutoHotkey inserts the Text right of `Send, ` when this combination is pressed.
