To input Toaq, you can set up a compose key on your computer, which will change the behavior of one of the keys on your keyboard to "compose" the next two keypresses into one character — for example CapsLock ' a becomes á.
On Linux, this might not even involve installing anything! Look for "compose key" plus your distro name. On Windows, WinCompose is pretty good.
Here's how to type Toaq-specific characters in the default ruleset. Compose means whatever key you have picked as your compose key (probably CapsLock or AltGr).
| Character | Combo |
|---|---|
 |
Compose ' vowel |
 |
Compose " vowel |
 |
Compose ^ vowel |
| dotless i (ı) | Compose . i |
| left quote («) | Compose < < |
| right quote (») | Compose > > |
Then there are these supplemental definitions. WinCompose provides them by default; on Linux you’re going to have to add them yourself one-by-one or by sourcing [1]. That said you might not find them very convenient to type.
| Character | Combo |
|---|---|
| Ꝡ | Compose V & Y |
| ꝡ | Compose v & y |
| combining underdot (like in ı̣) | Compose \ ! |
| "proper" ạ́ | Compose ! a Compose \ ' |
You can edit ~/.XCompose and add your own combos as follows. If using WinCompose, the file is at C:\Users\yourname\.XCompose.
<Multi_key> <v> <y> : "ꝡ" <Multi_key> <V> <Y> : "Ꝡ" <Multi_key> <2> <a> : "ạ́" <Multi_key> <2> <e> : "ẹ́" <Multi_key> <2> <i> : "ị́" <Multi_key> <2> <o> : "ọ́" <Multi_key> <2> <u> : "ụ́" <Multi_key> <3> <a> : "ạ̈" <Multi_key> <3> <e> : "ẹ̈" <Multi_key> <3> <i> : "ị̈" <Multi_key> <3> <o> : "ọ̈" <Multi_key> <3> <u> : "ụ̈" <Multi_key> <4> <a> : "ậ" <Multi_key> <4> <e> : "ệ" <Multi_key> <4> <i> : "ị̂" <Multi_key> <4> <o> : "ộ" <Multi_key> <4> <u> : "ụ̂" <Multi_key> <2> <A> : "Ạ́" <Multi_key> <2> <E> : "Ẹ́" <Multi_key> <2> <I> : "Ị́" <Multi_key> <2> <O> : "Ọ́" <Multi_key> <2> <U> : "Ụ́" <Multi_key> <3> <A> : "Ạ̈" <Multi_key> <3> <E> : "Ẹ̈" <Multi_key> <3> <I> : "Ị̈" <Multi_key> <3> <O> : "Ọ̈" <Multi_key> <3> <U> : "Ụ̈" <Multi_key> <4> <A> : "Ậ" <Multi_key> <4> <E> : "Ệ" <Multi_key> <4> <I> : "Ị̂" <Multi_key> <4> <O> : "Ộ" <Multi_key> <4> <U> : "Ụ̂"
