Topic Japanese physical keyboard support on KeymanWeb

I installed KeymanWeb 2.0 (Build 376) to my website.
I'm currently using Japanese physical keyboard, on which some symbol keys are different from the US keyboard. By pushing these symbol keys on physical keyboard, KeymanWeb doesn't input the expected character.

Does KeymanWeb support Japanese keyboard, or is there any way to support Japanese physical keyboard?

Thanks.

Thanks for the question. At this time, KeymanWeb 2.0 doesn't include support for Japanese physical keyboards. If you would like to submit a patch to improve support, you can probably start by looking at how we support the UK, Swedish keyboards:

kmwosk.js:88-91
kmwkeymaps.js

There is a global variable (not yet moved to the keymanweb.options object) called window.KeymanWeb_BaseLayout. You can set this currently to 'se', 'uk', or leave it blank. You would add a 'jp' option.

Alternatively, we can add support for Japanese physical keyboards to our development queue but it's a long queue -- we do provide contract support on these type of issues (email [email protected] if this is of interest).
