Per community request:
https://community.software.sil.org/t/tai-ahom-star-key-board-version-2-0-0/11465

Mostly it's changing the digits to use Burmese digits as the default. But, it required moving other digits and punctuation elsewhere.

Makara submitted the original keyboard on behalf of this author, so as far as I can tell he doesn't use github.

I was wondering why these punctuation aren't on the right-alt-shift layer, and then swap right-alt to output arabic numerals.

Good suggestion. I'll swap them out and change the documentation. The graphics will show where they are located.

Are the numerals now

  • Ahom numerals - default layer
  • Burmese numerals - shift layer
  • Arabic numerals - right-alt + (shift?)

* Move the default Ahom digits from default to shift layer
* Add Burmese digits as default
* Move punctuation from shift digits to RALT SHIFT
* Move arabic numerals to SHIFT
