Defining a Keyboard Layout
================================================================================
Kalamine keyboard layouts are defined with TOML files including this kind of
ASCII-art layer templates:
```
full = '''
┌─────┬─────┬─────┬─────┬─────┬─────┬─────┬─────┬─────┬─────┬─────┬─────┬─────┲━━━━━━━━━━┓

Layers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
### base
The `base` layer contains the base and shifted keys:
+-----+
shift -------> | ? |
base --------> | / |
+-----+
When the base and shift keys correspond to the same character, you may only
specify the uppercase char:
+-----+
shift -------> | A |
(base = a) --> | |
+-----+
### altgr
The `altgr` layer contains the altgr and shift+altgr symbols:
+-----+
| | <----- (altgr+shift+key is undefined)
| { | <----- altgr+key = {
+-----+
### full
The `full` view lets you specify the `base` and `altgr` levels together:
+-----+
shift -------> | A | <----- (altgr+shift+key is undefined)
(base = a) --> | { | <----- altgr+key = {
+-----+
Dead Keys
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
### Usage
Dead keys are preceded by a `*` sign. They can be used in the `base` layer:
+-----+
shift -------> |*" | = dead diaeresis
base --------> |*´ | = dead acute accent
+-----+
… as well as in the `altgr` layer:
+-----+
| *" | <----- altgr+shift+key = dead diaeresis
| *´ | <----- altgr+key = dead acute accent
+-----+
… and combined in the `full` layer:
+-----+
shift+key = A --> | A*" | <----- altgr+shift+key = dead diaeresis
key = a --> | a*´ | <----- altgr+key = dead acute accent
+-----+
### Standard Dead Keys
The following dead keys are supported, and their behavior cannot be customized:
id XKB name base -> accented chars

### Custom Dead Key
There is one dead key (1dk), noted `**`, that can be customized by specifying
how it modifies each character in the `base` layer:
+-----+
shift -------> | ? ¿ | <----- 1dk, shift+key
base --------> | / ÷ | <----- 1dk, key
+-----+
When the base and shift keys correspond to the same accented character, you may
only specify the lowercase accented char in the `base` layer:
+-----+
shift -------> | A | <----- (1dk, shift+key = À)
(base = a) --> | à | <----- 1dk, key = à
+-----+
You may also chain dead keys by specifying a dead key in the `1dk` layer:
+-----+
shift -------> | G |
(base = g) --> | *µ | <----- 1dk, key = dead Greek
+-----+
**Warning:** chained dead keys are not supported by MSKLC, and KbdEdit will be
required to build a Windows driver for such a keyboard layout.
Space Bar
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kalamine descriptor files have an optional section to define specific behaviors
of the space bar in non-base layers:
[spacebar]
shift = "\u202f" # NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE
altgr = "\u0020" # SPACE
altgr_shift = "\u00a0" # NO-BREAK SPACE
1dk = "\u2019" # RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
1dk_shift = "\u2019" # RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
Kalamine doesn’t support non-space chars on the `base` layer for the space bar.
Space characters outside of the space bar are not supported either.
