Re: Keyboard documentation

 

Hi!
No worries :) I think I might actually use something from your layout, like the .po file, maybe change the book (because I couldn't find anything *big*, so I went with a foreign book) and I also didn't edit the wordengine file. Two of those are probably because I based my changes on another MR. Anyway, thanks :)
