A y dialect cree syllabic keyboard for linux, made using kalamine ❤️
It would be extremely wise to go read up on the official kalamine github page so you dont mess anything up. It goes into way more detail about how to make & install custom keyboard layouts. I am not responsable if you break something.
You should be able to modify the layout in the creeboard.toml file using whatever text editor you want Make sure to follow the kalamine readme if modifying it.
This layout be a simple way to help memorize syllabics.
The default layout will look similar to the example below (with shift modifier keys on top).
