For Android, this fork adds APL and BQN to Hacker's Keyboard.

The file inputrc can be copied or appended to ~/.inputrc to enable backslash input in bash, BQN with rlwrap, and other software that uses GNU Readline.

If you'd like to contribute files for another editor I'd gladly accept them!

XKB

The file bqn is for configuring XKB on Linux. To use, copy it to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/, then run

XKB (Unix)

+

The file bqn is for configuring XKB on Linux, or other systems using X11. To use, copy it to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/, then run

$ setxkbmap -layout us,bqn -option grp:switch

replacing us with your ordinary keyboard layout. switch indicates the right alt key and can be replaced with lswitch for left alt or other codes. The setting will go away on shutdown so you will probably want to configure it to run every time you start up. The way to do this depends on your desktop environment. For further discussion, see Wikipedia or the APL Wiki.

Another XKB option, if you have a compose key enabled, is to place XCompose (possibly with adjustments) in ~/.XCompose.

Windows

+

Folder autohotkey-win contains an AutoHotKey script and the generated .exe file. It runs as an ordinary program that recognizes BQN key combinations system-wide. Move it to the startup folder if you'd like to have it running all the time. You can right-click its icon in the system tray to disable it temporarily.

+

The XCompose file, although created for XKB, should also be usable with WinCompose (but as far as I know this hasn't been tested).
