Like this?:
+ ("``" "̀") ; U+0300 COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
+ ("''" "́") ; U+0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT
+ ("a''" "á") ; U+00E1 LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE
+ ("i''" "í") ; U+00ED LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH ACUTE
+ ("u''" "ú") ; U+00FA LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH ACUTE
+ ("uu''" "ṹ") ; U+1E79 LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH TILDE AND ACUTE
+ ("U''" "ṹ") ; U+1E79 LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH TILDE AND ACUTE
+ ("e''" "é") ; U+00E9 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE
+ ("o''" "ó") ; U+00F3 LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH ACUTE
+ ("a``" "à") ; U+00E0 LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH GRAVE
+ ("i``" "ì") ; U+00EC LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH GRAVE
+ ("u``" "ù") ; U+00F9 LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH GRAVE
+ ("uu``" "ũ̀") ; U+0169 LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH TILDE U+0300 COMBINING
GRAVE ACCENT
+ ("U``" "ũ̀") ; U+0169 LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH TILDE U+0300 COMBINING
GRAVE ACCENT
+ ("e``" "è") ; U+00E8 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
+ ("o``" "ò") ; U+00F2 LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH GRAVE
Looking at this, I am beginning to think that Dominik Wujastyk’s idea to
put that into a separate file sa-iast-vedic.mim is probably better.
Because one might want to use ' as apostrophes or single quotes and one
might also want to use ` to quote something.
In the additions above, `` and '' are used only in pairs, so one can
still type something like 'f' `f` easily by pressing them only once.
So it might be OK. But it might also cause confusion when pressing them
twice accidentally.
I am not sure. What shall we do?
- just add this to sa-iast.mim
- make a separate file sa-iast-vedic.mim
- add this to sa-iast.mim as an option which is disabled by default:
(variable
(enable-vedic-accentgs
(_"If this variable is 0 (the default), vedic accents are disabled.
If this variable is set to 1, Vedic accents can be typed using the
postfixes '' and ``.")
0 0 1)) ; ((NAME [DESCRIPTION DEFAULT-VALUE VALID-VALUE ...])
and then add a conditional below to add the Vedic accents only when
that variable is 1.
I leave that for you to decide, Dominik and Vishvas!
