DreymaR said:Yeah, I obviously didn't take the time to make locale variants of all the Tarmak steps.
What I'd do is take the Nl locale Layout.ini file (you chose the CurlAWide which doesn't exist as a Tarmak progression, but it should be okay for this purpose), and copy the key overrides in it to the Layout.ini file of each Tarmak step.
So, this bit:
[layout]
;; Override keys from the base layout with mappings here. A "VK" entry resets that key.
;;
;shiftStates = 0 : 1 : 2 : 6 : 7 ; 8 : 9 : e : f
;; SC = VKEY CStat Base Shift Ctrl AltGr AGrSh ; SwiSh SwShS SwAGr SwAGS
QW_LB = vc_LB 0 @0a8 @05e &Esc [ { ; US [{ (eD [{ åÅ) Nl ¨^
QW_RB = vc_RB 0 @0b4 @060 -- ] } ; US ]} (eD ]} æÆ) Nl ´`
;QW_LG = vc_LG 5 ij IJ -- œ Œ ; US <> (eD œŒ øØ) Nl ijIJ (Unicode)
QW_L = I 1 i I -- →ij →IJ ; QW lL (eD iI —→) Nl ijIJ (bigram)
QW_H = H 5 h H -- ħ ↓ ; QW hH (eD hH ħĦ) Nl ↓
QW_M = M 1 m M -- × ← ; QW mM (eD mM ×↓) Nl ←
QW_K = E 1 e E -- € → ; QW kK (eD eE €←) Nl →
Take that and add it to the [layout] section of each Layout.ini file in the Tarmak progression you're using. Such as this one:

(That's if you use Tarmak-CurlAngle)
Thanks for replying!
I'm not sure why I went into the CurlAWide files, I use the default Tarmak haha. Seems like I should've been altering the layout.ini file in EPKL_Executable_v1-4-1\Layouts\Tarmak\Tmk-ISO\Tmk-VK-Tm2_ISO (since I'm currently using tarmak 2).
However, doing this did not fix the problem I had with the keyboard - which I think I probably should have clarified in the first place. As it turns out, the problem I had had nothing to do with the language, but just with Tarmak.
For example, when I press the ' key on the default tarmak, it doesn't appear at first, and when I press it again, 2 of those symbols appear at the same time. So far so good, since the same thing happens using a qwerty or colemak keyboard layout. However, If I press it once and then type a consonant, like for example r, it just types out the letter r, instead of typing out 'r. And if I follow it with a vowel, like for example e, it just gives me e instead of é. Same thing for the ` and " symbol.
For some reason I thought that it was just that on a US keyboard symbols work differently, and that that's why it did that.
When I realized this might not be the case at all, I enabled the "normal" US colemak, and sure enough, I can type é, è and ë on that one, just like on the Nl layout.
I have now figured out that it has something to do with Tarmak only having a VK option, since I get the same problem when I use the VK layout type on colemak.
I know this probably seems like a pretty stupid mistake, since I'm pretty sure this something quite basic. As I said I'm very new to all of this and really don't understand this program or how keyboard layouts and the associated files work very well. I've heard of dvorak and colemak before but other than that I only learned about this stuff existing yesterday, so please bear with me. Would it require a lot of effort to fix the problem I have with Tarmak?
