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.

Another XKB option is to place XCompose (possibly with adjustments) in ~/.XCompose and enable a compose key. This can be done using either OS-specific settings or the following command:

Copy or symlink kak/autoload/filetype/bqn.kak into autoload/filetype in your Kakoune config directory (probably .config/kak/).

Alternate layouts

-

All files here use the BQN layout designed for qwerty, which will generally be jumbled in another layout (for example the key for r will still type ↑, but it may not be above c, which types ↓). The remap.bqn script allows you to remap some files in this repository to a new layout. See $ remap.bqn -h for usage. Support for a new layout can be added in the keys array of the script, but do watch for string alignment with the doubled quote character.

(If you haven't installed CBQN but have Node.js, $ bqn.js editors/remap.bqn… from the repository root will work too)
