unicode about qmk_firmware

[jackhumbert]

This is still a largely untested feature, but what OS are you trying it on? You'll need to modify keymap_unicode.c to get it to output what your OS needs to unicode character input.

tryied on osx and windows.
what do i need to modify in the file to make it work on windows?

I would also like to know what changes need to be done in order to get it to work with gtk3 under Linux.

[jackhumbert]

Check this out!

so this method is only a alt+(unicode number) macro shortcut?

[jackhumbert]

Yeap! That's the only way I know of to get this sort of input right now.

[coderkun]

As far as I understand the action_function() method in keymap_unicode.c has to print out CTRL+SHIFT+U, then the Unicode sequence and finally ENTER (for ISO 14755 compatible systems) as shown below?

    register_code(KC_LCTL);
    register_code(KC_LSFT);
    register_code(KC_U);
    unregister_code(KC_LCTL);
    unregister_code(KC_LSFT);
    unregister_code(KC_U);
    […]
    register_code(KC_ENT);
    unregister_code(KC_ENT);

But with this code, nothing happens.

[20lives]

cool.

[jackhumbert]

Yeah, that looks correct - do you have any luck manually entering those keystrokes? I would start there to make sure the OS is ready for the input.

your function seems to not work or something else but macro i made work great:

const macro_t *action_get_macro(keyrecord_t *record, uint8_t id, uint8_t opt)
{
      switch(id) {
        case 0:
        if (record->event.pressed) {
          register_code(KC_RSFT);
        } else {
          unregister_code(KC_RSFT);
        }
        case 128:  
        if (record->event.pressed) {
          return MACRO( I(1), D(LALT),T(P1), T(P2), T(P8), U(LALT), END  );
        }
        case 145:
        if (record->event.pressed) {
          return MACRO( I(1), D(LALT),T(P1), T(P4), T(P5), U(LALT), END  );
        }
        break;
      }
    return MACRO_NONE;
};
