25 ;;; Commentary:
26
27 ;; This mode is intended for use with languages that adds a small
28 ;; number of extra letters not available on the keyboard.
29 ;;
30 ;; Examples includes Scandinavian and German with an US keyboard.
31 ;;
32 ;; The idea is that certain keys are overloaded. When you press it
33 ;; once it will insert one string, and when you press it twice the
34 ;; string will be replaced by another. This can be used for mapping
35 ;; keys on a US keyboard to generate characters according to the local
36 ;; keyboard convention when pressed once, and according to US keyboard
37 ;; convention when pressed twice.
38 ;;
39 ;; To use this mode, you must define the variable `double-map' and
40 ;; then enable double mode with `M-x double-mode'. Read the
41 ;; documentation for both of them.
42 ;;
43 ;; The default mapping is for getting Danish/Norwegian keyboard layout
44 ;; using ISO Latin 1 on a US keyboard.
45 ;;
46 ;; Important node: While I would like to hear comments, bug reports,
47 ;; suggestions, please do @strong{not} expect me to put other mappings
48 ;; than the default into this file. There are billions and billions
49 ;; of such mappings, and just supporting the most common would
50 ;; increase the size of this nice small file manyfold.
