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: New LDML Keyboard Project Parameters Dialog
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Allows you to quickly fill in common parameters for a new LDML keyboard project, adding keyboard, package, documentation and metadata files, following the [file layout](/developer/keyboards/) used in the [Keyman keyboards repository](https://github.com/keymanapp/keyboards).
|
|
|
|
Projects can also be created from the command line with [KMConvert](kmconvert).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
|
|
Keyboard Name
|
|
|
|
: **Required.** The descriptive name of the keyboard. This will be set in the
|
|
`<info name` attribute value in the keyboard, in the
|
|
package name, and where appropriate in documentation and metadata.
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
|
|
: **Required.** A short description of the purpose of the keyboard. This will
|
|
show up in a keyboard search on keyman.com and supports basic Markdown (no
|
|
embedded HTML). This is stored in the package metadata.
|
|
|
|
Author
|
|
|
|
: Optional. The name of the developer of the keyboard. This will be set in
|
|
the package metadata, and where appropriate in documentation and metadata.
|
|
|
|
Copyright, Full Copyright
|
|
|
|
: Optional. A copyright string for the keyboard. This will be set in the
|
|
package metadata, and where appropriate in documentation and metadata.
|
|
|
|
Version
|
|
|
|
: **Required.** The initial version number of the keyboard. For an LDML keyboard
|
|
this can be a [SEMVER](https://semver.org) compatible version number, but note
|
|
that Keyman as of version 17 is more restrictive and still requires the
|
|
version number to follow the format specified in
|
|
[`&Keyboardversion`](/developer/language/reference/keyboardversion). This will
|
|
be set also in the package metadata, and where appropriate in documentation
|
|
and metadata.
|
|
|
|
Supported Languages
|
|
|
|
: **Required.** Specifies the default BCP 47 language tags which will be added
|
|
to the package data and project metadata. (Required) While the LDML keyboard
|
|
specification allows for complete BCP 47 tags, in Keyman, these are currently
|
|
restricted to use of the Language, Script, and Region subtags.
|
|
|
|
Path
|
|
|
|
: **Required.** Specifies the base path where the project folder will be
|
|
created. The project folder name will be the keyboard ID. If the folder
|
|
already exists, then you will be prompted before Keyman Developer overwrites
|
|
files inside it.
|
|
|
|
Keyboard ID
|
|
|
|
: **Required.** The base filename of the keyboard, project and package. This
|
|
must conform to the Keyman keyboard identifier rules, using the characters
|
|
a-z, 0-9 and _ (underscore) only. |
