Kaingang/Keyboard

We were unable to find any other keyboard layouts for Kaingang. The link to our developed Kaingang keyboard is here.

Justification for our changes

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.

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.

For our modifications in the letter keys, the most accessible keys (the ones for which you only have to press that one key to be able to type it) have all of the Kaingang letters, including the ones with accent marks. The AltGr keys are the letter keys commonly found at that location, such as on a US keyboard.
