Keyman language history


Keyman 3

  • The structure of rules is not backwardly compatible with earlier versions of Keyman. The left hand side of the rule changed from being a sequence of keystrokes to being a context + single keystroke.
  • Stores were introduced.
  • Long line support

Keyman 4

  • The + character became required, and usage became stricter to follow the standard now: the plus character must separate context from keystroke in a rule.
  • Keyboards are now compiled by the developer into .kmx files, rather than being distributed as .kmn files.
