Diné Bizaad Text Editor

To assist in the input of Navajo characters on Google ChromeBook.
Type in the text box, and copy/paste the words out to the application of your choice.
Jan 6, 2014 Christopher Carey http://chriscarey.com with help from Charles DiFazio - Idea from Harold Carey of Navajo People.org. We are asking Google to include the language in Google Input Tools, but until such time this page aims to assist.

A work in progress. So far, we have backtick, slash, left bracket, and right bracket working for high-tone, high-tone, nasal, and high-tone-nasal. You can press any of these modifier keys *after* another letter and it will add the accent marks. View the keyboard image below for an example of the keyboard layout.

Next to do:

Implement n
Implement ł
Hold option/Alt to press regular key
Persist data entery into localStorage so no work is lost
Make this page look good - make the text editor fit the screen better
Fix bugs related to using backspace before a modifier

Keycode:

All accents are typed after the base character: é is typed e then Slash /.
To type the high tone accent ́ use the Slash key /. á is typed a then Slash /.
To type the nasal accent ̨ use the Left Bracket key [. ą is typed a then Left Bracket [.
To type the high-tone-nasal accent ̨́ use the Right Bracket key ]. ą́ is typed a then Right Bracket ].
All changed keys can type their original value by holding down the Right-Alt or Option key. The Semi- colon ; is typed Right-Alt+Semicolon (Windows) Option+Semicolon (Mac). The letter v is typed Right- Alt+v (Windows) Option+v (Mac).
The ñ character is typed Right-Alt+n (Windows) or Option+n (Mac).
Opening and closing quotes. For Mac users, Right-Alt is either of the Option Keys.
single: ‘ Shift+Grave — ’ Apostrophe
double: “ Shift+Left-Bracket — ” Shift+Right-Bracket
single ‹ Right-Alt+Shift+9 — › Right-Alt+Shift+0
double « Right-Alt+9 — » Right-Alt+0
