Nobody says that it is not. Haiku does not try to be Windows-comparible in
any way. Your solution is specific for Greek language and nothing more.
Language-specific info should be stored in keymap file and not hardcoded
in key_map structure.
Possible solution can be:
{{{
struct key_map_ex {
uint32 version;
uint32 caps_key;
uint32 scroll_key;
uint32 num_key;
uint32 left_shift_key;
uint32 right_shift_key;
uint32 left_command_key;
uint32 right_command_key;
uint32 left_control_key;
uint32 right_control_key;
uint32 left_option_key;
uint32 right_option_key;
uint32 menu_key;
uint32 lock_settings;
int32 control_map[128];
int32 option_caps_shift_map[128];
int32 option_caps_map[128];
int32 option_shift_map[128];
int32 option_map[128];
int32 caps_shift_map[128];
int32 caps_map[128];
int32 shift_map[128];
int32 normal_map[128];
uint32 dead_key_count;
struct {
int32 chars;
uint32 tables;
} dead_keys[1];
};
void get_key_map_ex(uint32 version, key_map_ex** _map, char**
_keyBuffer);
}}}
This extension is universal and don't break binary compatability. Also it
add ability of future extentions.
Another solution can be adding dead_key_count and dead_keys to the end of
current key_map structure and don't use "ex" versions. dead_key_count will
be set to 0 if predefined dead keys is enougth.
