Marc Durdin b751336c13 refactor(developer): copy dev 17.0 help into repo
1. Copy help.keyman.com/developer/17.0/* into /developer/docs/help
2. Update references to 18.0 where appropriate
3. Copy all referenced images from /cdn/dev into
   /developer/docs/help/images and update links in documentation

Next commit: add deployment to help-keyman-com.sh. Note: simplest way to
test links at this point is to use the help.keyman.com auto deploy and
wait for the PR on help.keyman.com to be validated; we could look at an
internal link validation tool that verifies markdown links?

title: LDML Keyboard Editor Window
---
![Keyboard Editor - New file, Details tab](../images/ui/frmLDMLEditor.png)
The LDML Keyboard file format is new in Keyman Developer 17. It is an
XML file, and follows the specification at https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-keyboards.html
The LDML editor in this release is very basic, supporting syntax highlighting
and basic editing, but specific support for the keyboard3 format is scheduled
for release in version 18.0.
LDML keyboards can be tested by pressing <kbd>F5</kbd>. This opens the [LDML Debug window](ldml-debug).
The text editor supports standard Windows editing keystrokes. It uses the Monaco
component from Visual Studio Code, so much of the functionality available in
that editor is also available here.
