Dvorak layout problems

[Garrett Mitchener]

Hi,

I'm trying to use ergoemacs with the dvorak keyboard layout and I've run into several problems. I'm using emacs version 27.2, and ergoemacs 20211101.1941 from melpa.

I've customized ergoemacs-keyboard-layout to "dv", and when I start emacs and activate ergoemacs-mode,  and I think all the keys work.

There are a few keys I'd like to change, but I can't get anything to work. The documentation on the web site (https://ergoemacs.github.io/customize-keys.html) seems to be out of date. `ergoemacs-key` doesn't seem to be defined, for example. Posts in this group mention `ergoemacs-component` and `ergoemacs-require` which also don't seem to be defined any longer. I've tried putting calls to `global-set-key` in various places. No luck.

Specifically, I want to re-bind

C-a, C-e, and C-n

How do I do this?

Hi Garret,

This has changed.  I noticed that I wasn't doing much to maintain ergoemacs-mode, so Walter Landry helped and reduced the scope of ergoemacs-mode.  The theme engine was dropped in favor of a simpler approach.

The documentation is out of date, but you may still modify keys.  That is

; To override most `ergoemacs-mode` keys

(define-key ergoemacs-user-keymap (kbd "C-a") 'my-awesome-function)

should work.

Thanks for replying to quickly! Using define-key on ergoemacs-user-keymap seems to do what I need. I put the bindings I want in a function and added it as an ergoemacs-mode hook. Things seem to be working now.

Is it possible to get those bindings to display automatically in the keyboard layout image?
