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