# I2C Puppet mods for Linux systems
This is a modification to the <a href="https:README.md" target="_blank">standard firmware</a>
The original version lacked certain characters, such as <ESCAPE>, and the characters "<>{}[]^&%=\"
which made it difficult to use on Linux systems

The original definiton of the keys were this. I'm including the
spacebar, newline/enter, backspace, Microphone and Spkeaer keys
because they provide characters not indicated on the key. For
instance, SYM + spacebar provides TAB
instance, ALT + spacebar provides TAB, and ALT+NewLine is the pipe character.

I tried to make the bracket characters easierr to remember by using
Shift+ to indicate the left-pointing brackets, and Alt+ corresponds to
the same right-pointing bracket. You can redefine these keys if you
prefer a different arraingment.
Currently, SYM+<top button keys> produces an 'x' to indicate some value can be inserted.
I'm considering mapping these to the 4 arrow keys
