Seeking Guidance on Developing a Custom Keyboard Layout for Indigenous Language

$

Hello everyone!! :blush:
I was recently working on a project to develop a custom keyboard layout for an indigenous language that lacks adequate digital representation. While I have made some progress, I am facing a few challenges and could really use some expert advice.
I have some specific areas where I need help:

  • I have gone through several keyboard layout creation tools, but I am unsure which one would be the best fit for my needs. Could anyone recommend a user-friendly tool that supports complex scripts and allows for custom key mapping?
  • What is the best way to package and distribute the keyboard layout so that it’s easy for users to install on various operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux)?
  • How can I ensure that the custom characters will be recognized across different platforms and devices? Are there any specific guidelines or resources I should follow?

Any advice, resources, or personal experiences you can share would be immensely helpful. I’m committed to making this keyboard layout as accurate and user-friendly as possible, and I appreciate any guidance you can provide.

Thank you in advance :pray:
