French-based azerty keyboard layout with Russian letters' mapping

This layout is adapted from tradition french-azerty keyboard layout, with Russian cyrillic letters mapping. Feel free to submit any improvement & suggestion for review.

At the moment, the layout looks like this :

Palatalisation phenomenon is represented with combination of AltGr + Letter i.e : с + AltGR = ш

Further implementations may encapsulate :

• Prior to 1917 orthograph reform letters (mainly ѣ, and и с точкой "і")

• Better mapping of punctuation characters

• Mapping other slavic languages cyrillic letters such as Serbian soft l, and n

• Adding diacritics possibilities (diaerisis or tréma) at the moment, circumflex accent (^) can be used to write stress down (ударе́ние)

  Installation guidelines

  I'm personally a user of SolusOS, but the proceedings are essentially the same for Debian-based distros, at least to the best of my knowledge (Feel free to add instructions for other distros in there).

  Editing system files is not recommended for newbies, be careful and please backup original files before doing anything stupid

  In sudo mode, you have to edit your : /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ru File to add the content of the one available on this repo You have to add an entry in : /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml You should then be able to add your keyboard layout in the input parameters of your OS

  Highly recommended documentation to make up your own layout

• Karol Stasiak's Blog

• LSDevLinux Wiki

• Ubuntu's official documentation on customizing keyboard layouts

Special thanks to

Alexriss for his Keyboard converter that basically enabled me to convert my old windows klc file to make it compatible with Linux distros
