One apon a time, i've designed a three octaves kayboard layout for the vkeybd program, but for an french keyboard.

This evening, some of my collegues decided to jam with nice instruments, so i thought it was the good time to take a look one more time to fluidsyth, bristol, and vkeybd. But as i now live in Canada, i use an english keybord. Xev helping, i've made a new three octaves layout for the english keyboard.

Available here: vkeybdmap-en

and it looks like:

After having tested the Colemak layout, the French, the US and the Canadian one, my conclusion, is ... simply a new layout : mine

• It have the advantages of the US one for the <> ./ [] {} characters locations
• The Backspace at the Caps lock location (stolen from Colemak)
• The Delete key near the between the Alt Gr and the Right control
• The ability to type a lot of accentued characters, directly or with dead keys. The idea is stolen from Colemak too,  but i've changes some accents orientation to fit better to the french words.

Here is the result: JSK

To use it, just drop the file to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols and invoke setxkbmap jsk

Here is the layout:

I finally decided to publish my dark Black and Red desktop theme.
Here is a screenshot:

Write a plugin

in a 'super_plugin' directory dedicaced to the plugin, create two files:

__init__.py with your plugin 'content' eg:

setup.py with your plugin description eg:

Install your plugin

Use your plugin

Let's try with ipython

Just a word about groups and how to discover plugins

In a more complex application, you may have more plugins ! and you may want to
discover them and maybe load them too !
Let's try (with ipython)

Just a remember for people like me who never remember what to do with this thing:

Just do:

I have the pleasure to annonce the launch of 3 new Schurger.org subdomains :

Projects

I progressively move my projects to this site. It runs Redmine (powered by Ruby On Rails).

Currently, it works with apache mod_proxy, but i plan to run it by passenger (mod_rails)

Sources

Which contains public Mercurial Repositories of my projects, everybody can "clone" projects from here.

It runs the Mercurial web service throug apache and mod_wsgi

Packages

Here are apt-get enabled repositories for my custom packages.

Put that code into a script, set a keybinding desktop wide, and tomboy notes will be created, containing your current X selection, simple, easy, and terribly  usefull ! (needs xsel)

This is the sort of thing you may write starting to use the Colemak layout.Why not trying it, here is its
description pasted from the original website : http://colemak.com :

"The QWERTY layout was designed in the 19th century to allow typewriter salesmen to easily type the word "typewriter" and to prevent typebars from sticking. We've been stuck with QWERTY ever since.
Colemak is a modern alternative to the QWERTY and Dvorak layouts. It is designed for efficient and ergonomic touch typing in English.
Learning Colemak is a one-time investment that will allow you to enjoy faster and pain-free typing for the rest of your life. Colemak is now the 3rd most popular keyboard layout for touch typing in English, after QWERTY and Dvorak."

And here is the complete layout build from the Gnome keyboard setting tool (available in hi resolution to print it and stick somewhere not far from you screen):
