Getting the neo keyboard layout to work as expected

Getting the neo keyboard layout to work as expected

Hi!

So I'm having a puzzling experience using the neo keyboard layout.


Configuring the keyboard-layout in the system configuration using

    (keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "de" "neo" #:model "pc105"))

does not have the same effect as loading it using

    loadkeys neo.

For some reason the Layer 4 key results in the same characters as the Layer 3
instead of providing a numberblock and navigation (see
https://www.neo-layout.org/ for the expected output).

There may be further differences but I suppose you get the point. Any idea what
I'm doing wrong?

Thank you kindly for your assistance,
Josua

Josua,

Though Im not (yet) in a position to help, thanks for flagging Neo. Despite being merely an anglophone, I recognise some of the nice design decisions.

These seem more appropriate for my usecases
