24 ;;; Commentary:
25
26 ;; This mode is intended for use with languages that adds a small
27 ;; number of extra letters not available on the keyboard.
28 ;;
29 ;; Examples includes Scandinavian and German with an US keyboard.
30 ;;
31 ;; The idea is that certain keys are overloaded. When you press it
32 ;; once it will insert one string, and when you press it twice the
33 ;; string will be replaced by another. This can be used for mapping
34 ;; keys on a US keyboard to generate characters according to the local
35 ;; keyboard convention when pressed once, and according to US keyboard
36 ;; convetion when pressed twice.
37 ;;
38 ;; To use this mode, you must define the variable `double-map' and
39 ;; then enable double mode with `M-x double-mode'. Read the
40 ;; documentation for both of them.
41 ;;
42 ;; The default mapping is for getting Danish/Norwegian keyboard layout
43 ;; using ISO Latin 1 on a US keyboard.
44 ;;
45 ;; Imprtant node: While I would like to hear comments, bug reports,
46 ;; suggestions, please do @strong{not} expect me to put other mappings
47 ;; that the default into this file. There are billions and billions
48 ;; of such mappings, and just supporting the most common would
49 ;; increase the size of this nice small file manyfold.

51 ;;; ChangeLog:
52
53 ;; * 1994-06-21 Per Abrahamsen
54 ;; Added `double-prefix-only'.
55 ;; * 1994-02-28 Per Abrahamsen
56 ;; Use 127 instead of 'delete to delete a character.
57 ;; * 1994-02-03 Per Abrahamsen
58 ;; Created.
