I moved the current option settings to right option and filed out the right option based on the keys produced in Mac OS X (with a little BeOS 5 thrown in).First of all, with AltGr layer available, I don't think Option layer is needed.I believe that it is for some keymaps like French but François Revol can chime in and correct me if I'm wrong.It is. Sorry but I didn't follow the thread much.
I believe that AltGr is. Alt/Opt is not.
There's a line somewhere between "this is really powerful" and "it's just complicating things with no benefit". I tend to think that adding more layers crosses that line, although I'm probably a bit biased because for the languages I use, two modifiers (Shift and AltGr) are enough. I just don't think an average user would benefit from having 6 or 8 layers in her keyboard to enter accented characters. :) That's what dead keys are for.Well, if you want to implement the full Bépo keymap correctly you'll probably need even more layers, like 20 :D cf. http://bepo.fr/wiki/Touches_mortes
Well, I quickly skimmed that page. Here's what the layout uses: AltGr -> Currently Opt in Haiku, would become AltGr with John's patch Maj -> Shift, stays as is Touches mortes -> Dead keys, stays as isI don't see anything else in use there. Neither Ctrl, nor Alt or Win keys are used to produce separate layers.
