Editing an existing layout file?
Hi
I've installed and launched KLE as follows on ubuntu 14.04: sudo apt-get install python-antlr wget https://github.com/simos/keyboardlayouteditor/archive/master.zip unzip -q master.zip mv keyboardlayouteditor-master kle cd kle sudo apt-get install python-setuptools sudo pip install http://www.antlr3.org/download/Python/antlr_python_runtime-3.1.2.tar.gz wget http://antlr3.org/download/antlr-3.1.2.jar java -classpath "antlr-3.1.2.jar" org.antlr.Tool *.g cd .. rm master.zip kle/KeyboardLayoutEditor
However, if I open an existing layout file, nothing appears on the keys in the interface, yet the post at http://simos.info/blog/archives/747 says "The other workflow is to start with an appropriate existing layout as a base, then add more characters, make changes, etc."
Is there something special I need to do, or is it in fact the case that KLE works only for designing new layouts?
Thanks
Kevin
Apparently, KeyboardLayoutEditor encounters errors while parsing the layout files. Looking forward to a fix. This is a very useful program for non-technical Ubuntu users with broken keyboards.
That problem happen in specific case where the layout have something: include "us(intl)" replacing with include "us" avoid the problem but is not ok because load the wrong syntax.
To avoid that i have done a new file that contain all the layout required and now the editor work without problems.

The codebase of this project is too old that require a whole refactoring to fix this issue... Migrating python 2 just to 3 is not enough for the dependencies
