Thank you for you reply

which key?


Sorry, if the description was unclear.
I didn't invent this layout. Basically, this is the layout people get
when they change input-language on OS level (e.g. Windows and Linux).
I'm not sure where or when this was selected to be the Mongolian Keyboard
Layout.
At the moment, I can only find out following resources:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolian_Cyrillic_alphabet#Keyboard_layout
- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/keyboards/kbdmon.html
- http://kbdlayout.info/KBDMON/

This layout is still used like 99% of the Mongolian Computers (I think).
When I was a kid, I had to learn this layout in order to type.
And now, using other cyrillic input such as cyrillic-translit just
un-natural to me
(probably un-natural to others too).

From the technical side, I did copy the e-lisp code from various places.
To be honest, I still don't know what the code does or
what the code-structure is supposed to be .
