If you are brave, you can create your own keyboards.&nbsp; A keyboard
file has five parts:
<ol type=a>
<li>Comments</li>
<li>A list of parameters</li>
<li>A list of characters</li>
<li>A list of vowels</li>
<li>A list of punctuation</li>
</ol>
<p>
Sections (c)-(e) are structured in exactly the same way.&nbsp; A line consists of a value, an equals sign, and another value, for example &quot;k=K&quot;.&nbsp; This means that to get the Tibetan character associated with Wylie 'k', you must press 'K'.&nbsp; If there is no right part of the equation, then there is no way in this keyboard to get the relevant character.&nbsp; For example, if you see &quot;k=&quot;, that means that there is no way in this keyboard to get the Tibetan character associated with Wylie 'k'.&nbsp; Be careful with whitespace, which is not ignored: for example, &quot; = &quot; means [space bar] = [space bar].
</p>
<p>
Although the three additional production-quality keyboards included in
this installation always define only one keystroke per
character/vowel, it is possible to define a keyboard in which multiple
keystrokes correspond to single characters/vowels, as in the Extended
Wylie keyboard.&nbsp; However, punctuation is only ever allowed to
correspond to a single keystroke. Below is a sample (partial)
keyboard, with key parts explained, and much omitted:
</p>

Sambhota keyboard //Everything before &lt?parameters?&gt; is taken to be a comment.

<p>
&lt?parameters?&gt; //describes the logic of the keyboard
<br>has sanskrit stacking=true //is there a stack key for sanskrit stacks?
<br>has tibetan stacking=true //is there a stack key for tibetan stacks?
<br>is stacking medial=false //is the stack key medial, ie like '+' in g+y, or not, as in +gy
<br>stack key=f //what is the stack key? must be single character
<br>has disambiguating key=false //is there a key to distinguish between Wylie gy and g.y?
<br>disambiguating key= //if so, what is it?
<br>needs a chen before vowels=true //for a-chen plus vowel, must you type a-chen first?
<br>has 'a' vowel=false //is there a dummy 'a' vowel?
<br>is achung consonant=true //can achung take part in consonantal stacks?
<p>
&lt?characters?&gt; //characters include consonants and numerals
<br>k=k
<br>kh=K //left value is Extended Wylie &amp; right is equivalent in Sambhota
<br>g=g

Jskad has a multi-level preferences mechanism available, which means
that system administrators can configure Jskad as desired for all
users on a certain computer, and then the users can have their
overriding preferences.&nbsp; Further, power users can override
their preferences' files using Java system properties.&nbsp; Contact
Jskad's maintainers for more information about these advanced
options if any of them interest you.
