 We were unable to find any other keyboard layouts for Kaingang. The link to our developed Kaingang keyboard is [https://github.swarthmore.edu/Ling073-sp19/ling073-kgp-keyboard here].

-Essentially, the only things that have changed in our keyboard compared to a US keyboard or Brazilian Portuguese keyboard are the letter keys. This allows for someone who wants to type in Kaingang to have access to all the other symbols (such as ~, +, ?, /) available in the keyboard in which they are typing in.
+The only things that have changed in our keyboard compared to a US keyboard or Brazilian Portuguese keyboard are the letter keys. We have kept all the other symbols unchanged (such as ~, +, ?, /).
-Those symbol keys will be in whatever place the physical keyboard they are using has them. For an example, if someone is to type the symbol ' using our keyboard layout, if they are using the US keyboard they can access it in the middle row, right next to the Enter key;  if they are using the Brazilian keyboard, they can access it by pressing the far top-right key, above the Tab key.

-We figured it would be nice to have the main keys have the Kaingang alphabet because the Kaingang language uses accented letters probably even more than not accented letters.
+We figured it would be more efficient to have accented vowels represented on the keyboard because Kaingang orthography uses accented vowels more frequently than non-accented letters.
-When you hold AltGr, you can access the Portuguese characters Q, W, D, L, Z, X, C, and B. You can also access the Spanish characters ¡ by using AltGr+1 and ¿ by using AltGr+/. We thought that even though this is a Kaingang layout, there are many words in Kaingang that are borrowed from Portuguese and Portuguese-specific characters might need to be used.
+AltGr gives typers access to the characters: Q, W, D, L, Z, X, C. Those characters are present in Portuguese and in Portuguese loanwords, but not in native Kaingang words. You can also access the Spanish characters ¡ via AltGr+1 and ¿ via AltGr+/. We thought that even though this is a Kaingang layout, there are many Portuguese loanwords in Kaingang and most Kaingang speakers are bilingual Portuguese speakers as well.
-There are also some mathematical symbols accessible by holding AltGr+2 (gives ²), AltGr+3 (gives ³), AltGr+$ (gives £), and AltGr+ the symbol + (gives ÷).
+Typers can also access mathematical symbols via AltGr. AltGr+2 gives ², AltGr+3 gives ³, AltGr+$ gives £, and AltGr+"+"gives ÷.
 For dead keys, we have ' for acute marks and for cedilha ('c = ç), \ for dieresis, ^ for circumflex marks, ` for grave marks, and ~ for tilde.
