Hi Alain,
I'm also brazilian and I also have a brazilian ABNT2 keyboard. The
BR.KEY layouts works fine here. There's no need for adjustments, unless
your keyboard hardware works with different scancodes (you said you have
a notebook with a brazilian ABNT2 keyboard). Mine is a regular desktop
mini-DIN ("PS/2") keyboard.
Most intriguing is that not even KEYCODE is able to read the scancodes
of that extra key in your notebook; in a normal condition, it would read
"115".
If you want to continue this conversation in portuguese, you can contact
me: hperon @ terra.com.br .
One thing occured to me: if possible, please send me a close picture of
your keyboard. I've already seen many oddities on the market which do
not follow ABNT, portuguese or american standards. I've already seen,
for instance, a regular US keyboard with a <Ç> key to the right of <L>.
All the rest follows a standard US keyboard layout (i.e. the dead keys
with the diacritics are missing). There's no official layout like that,
anywhere. You can't set it up on Windows or any other operating system.
It seems you have one of those "mini-keyboards" with ABNT2 layout which
we find here in Brazil; it probably uses proprietary scancodes. If
that's the case, please send me the brand and model and I'll contact the
manufacturer for the scancodes. (Anyway, if possible, I still want that
close picture of your keyboard).
Regards,
Henrique
