I love it! I just… I wonder how I could write French with this, which has so many accents and the cedilla-c :/
Greek would be manageable, as would Latin (with the breathings and accents of Ancient Greek could probably be put in the extra places from 25-32) but French… it actually has more characters in regular use than English… and even putting the accents in the spare places, I don’t think would have enough space… because like I said, there’s the cedilla as well as les ponctuations.
Thank you for the compliment! Ha, yes, using it for French will require some creativity, but it should be doable. To expand the number of characters, an option could be to let one of the characters between #27 and #31 function as an “Alt key” that triggers the secondary function of each character. So for instance, if you decide to use character #27 as the Alt key, and assign the secondary function “accent grave” to the letter a, to write “è” you would use the character sequence #5 #27 #1. A bit convoluted perhaps, but it works. Braille uses similar methods, for instance.
