- | ====== Keyboard Editing ====== | ||
- | ===== Entering hieroglyphs ===== | ||
- | |||
- | To enter signs with the keyboard, click in the main window (the one that displays the actual hieroglyphic text, not in the one with the so-called "Manuel de codage"). | ||
- | When you type a letter or a number in the main window, this letter or number appears in the small panel in the bottom left panel of JSesh. This allows you to type "Manuel de Codage" codes. | ||
- | |||
- | * Lots of signs have phonetic codes, which correspond to their translitteration; | ||
- | * all signs are accessible through their code in Gardiner's grammar. To find the code, you can look at the "hieroglyphs" menus. | ||
- | |||
- | Once the code is typed, you must validate it. To validate, type one of **space, ':', '*', '-', enter** | ||
- | |||
- | The sign will be added to the hieroglyphic text. | ||
- | |||
- | Phonetic codes can correspond to more than one sign. For instance, iw corresponds to one of {{http://jsesh.qenherkhopeshef.org/files_jsesh/images/iw1.png}},{{http://jsesh.qenherkhopeshef.org/files_jsesh/images/iw2.png}}, {{http://jsesh.qenherkhopeshef.org/files_jsesh/images/iw3.png}}, {{http://jsesh.qenherkhopeshef.org/files_jsesh/images/iw4.png}} and {{http://jsesh.qenherkhopeshef.org/files_jsesh/images/iw5.png}}. The "official" sign for iw is {{http://jsesh.qenherkhopeshef.org/files_jsesh/images/iw1.png}} according to the manuel . However, you might want another sign. In this case, it's quite simple : press the **space bar**, and the system will circle through the possibilities, one at a time. | ||
- | |||
- | Your last choice will be retained the next time you type the code in this session. | ||
- | ==== Phonetic codes ==== | ||
- | |||
- | The uniliteral signs have the following codes, which are also used when typing transliteration: | ||
- | |||
- | ^Code ^ Letter^ | ||
- | |A |ꜣ (aleph) | | ||
- | |i |i҆ (yod) | | ||
- | |y |y | | ||
- | |a |ꜥ (ayin) | | ||
- | |w |w | | ||
- | |b |b | | ||
- | |p |p | | ||
- | |f |f | | ||
- | |m |m | | ||
- | |n |n | | ||
- | |r |r | | ||
- | |l |l | | ||
- | |h |h | | ||
- | |H |ḥ | | ||
- | |x |ḫ | | ||
- | |X |ẖ | | ||
- | |z |z | | ||
- | |s |s | | ||
- | |S |s | | ||
- | |q |ḳ | | ||
- | |k |k | | ||
- | |g |g | | ||
- | |t |t | | ||
- | |T |ṯ | | ||
- | |d |d | | ||
- | |D |ḏ | | ||
- | |||
- | W is also used for Z7, M for Aa15, and N for S3. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Grouping signs ===== | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | The sign you type when validating can be used to group the hieroglyphs. Both 'space' and '-' have the simple effect that the next sign will be added in a new cadrat. | ||
- | * ':' and '*' will add the next sign respectively below and besides the last sign entered. | ||
- | * 'enter' has two consequences : it validates a sign (if there is one), and it adds a new line. | ||
- | If no code has been entered (that is, if the code window is entered), the previous grouping sign type will group the last two cadrats. It looks a bit strange, but you will see that it's quite natural. you can use it to group signs as an afterthough. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Exempli gratia ==== | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | If you want to type the word {{http://jsesh.qenherkhopeshef.org/files_jsesh/images/pt.jpg|pt}}, you can : | ||
- | * type 'p', then '*', 't', ':', 'pt' | ||
- | * type 'p', 't', then '*', ''space'' (which, in sort, validates the '*'), pt, ':', and ''space''. |
