Subject: greek-style quotes for greek input method?
Date: Sun, 08 Aug 2010 16:31:10 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r5i9dye9.fsf@kobe.laptop> (raw)
Greek books use a different set of quotes from the normal English
"double" or ``double'' quotes. The default "el" input method of XKB and
my Gnome desktop maps these special greek-style quotes to the ";<" and
";>" input strings. So when I switch to the Gnome-greek input method by
typing Alt-Shift I can type this text
EL: Ελληνικό κείμενο με «εισαγωγικά».
EN: Greek text with «quotes».
by typing the greek-style quotes as ";<" and ";>" respectively.
The `greek' input method of Emacs supports most of the diacritic marks
with the following special key sequences:
KEY SEQUENCE
------------
You can also input more characters by the following key sequences:
key char [type a key sequence to insert the corresponding character]
--- ---- --- ---- --- ---- --- ---- --- ---- --- ---- --- ---- --- ---- --- ---- --- ---- --- ----
:I Ϊ :i ϊ ;A Ά ;H Ή ;O Ό ;Y Ύ ;e έ ;i ί ;v ώ :;i ΐ ;:i ΐ
:Y Ϋ :y ϋ ;E Έ ;I Ί ;V Ώ ;a ά ;h ή ;o ό ;y ύ :;y ΰ ;:y ΰ
It would be nice if it also supported ;< and ;> for greek-style quotes
but I don't know how to do this using the current sources of the file
`emacs/trunk/leim/quail/greek.el'.
Does anyone feel like showing me how to do this, or even patching
`quail/greek.el' directly?
The mapping that we could use from input text to Unicode character of
the greek-style quotes would be:
(";<" "«")
(";>" "»")
