Experimental. The Pan-African keymap is intended to be a comprehensive key map covering all of the Latin-based orthographies used in African languages. The key map is primarily based on a review of Denis Jacquerye’s Characters needed for African orthographies in Latin writing system. The document A Pan-African Latin Keyboard Map for use with Key Curry (PDF) provides a full description of this experimental key map.
In practice, users interested in specific African languages will find that it is faster to type using language-specific key maps. Feel free to contact Ed if you need assistance developing a language-specific key map.
Experimental. The Nigerian Latin-based Igbo Onwu orthography has not historically been well-supported on computer systems. Key Curry provides several experimental variations of an Igbo Onwu key map, all of which are intuitive and easy to use. In one variant, the asterisk key, “*” is typed to provide the diacritic dot. In the other variant, the Latin lowercase letter “x” is typed to provide the diacritic dot. Please provide us feedback on which variant is most useful to you. Thanks!
Key Curry now also provides a key map for Yoruba.
