Neaqbua: minor clarification

This article explains how to write Toaq in the text editor ''vim''.

== Using a keymap ==

Copy the contents below into a file called <code>toaq.vim</code> inside a folder named <code>keymap</code> in your <code>.vim</code> directory (create it if it doesn’t exist). Then, in insert mode, you may use any of the two-keystroke “combinations” and have them replaced with accented letters on the fly. (See <code>:help mbyte-keymap</code> for more detailed information.)

== Using digraphs ==

Alternatively, for sporadic usage, you can enter Toaq characters using Ctrl+K followed by two keystrokes (see <code>:help digraph</code>). {{VY}} is not available to input using this method.

| {{Done|2}} || {{Key|Ctrl+K}} {{Key|vowel}} {{Key|'}}
|-
| {{Done|3}} || {{Key|Ctrl+K}} {{Key|vowel}} {{Key|:}}
|-
| {{Done|4}} || {{Key|Ctrl+K}} {{Key|vowel}} {{Key|>}}
|-
| dotless i ({{t|ı}}) || {{Key|Ctrl+K}} {{Key|.}} {{Key|i}}
|-
| left quote ({{t|«}}) || {{Key|Ctrl+K}} {{Key|<}} {{Key|<}}
|-
| right quote ({{t|»}}) || {{Key|Ctrl+K}} {{Key|>}} {{Key|>}}
|}

== Using an existing keyboard layout ==
If you already have a Toaq keyboard layout (for example, by following [[Input_methods#XKB|the XKB instructions]]), then you can <code>:source</code> the following script to make vim automatically switch layouts depending on vim's current mode. This functionality is toggled on or off each time you source the script in the same buffer.

'''Follow the TODO instructions to make it work on your system.''' If you use an XKB method, be sure to use the name you gave your layout in evdev.lst and evdev.xml.

" 1. Modifiers do not persist through a layout switch. You need to release and re-press Shift for commands like FA.
