apu.yaml deadkeys for win do not function

[rueter]

The windows Apurinã (apu) keyboard provides for a tilde on top of every vowel, i.e.,
‹ã›, ‹ẽ›, ‹Ĩ›, ‹õ›, ‹ũ›, ‹ỹ›, and upper case letters are all possible to type using the GrAlt (secondary) approach. What does not work is the primary deadkey strategy. Thus, it is not possible to type vowels with acute, grave or circumflex.

A peculiarity is that the key that would be ä/æ on a Nordic keyboard, and which is supposed to produce the tilde, produces the ‹@› sign, even when this is not what the apu.yaml keyboard looks like, see latest Divvun Manager download version 20240726, which produces a default ‹@›.

It would be desirable to fix this as soon as possible, so that I can help oversee the solution before I leave Brazil. I will be working with people at the Universidade Federal do Pará on campus until March 28th.

After some investigation, it looks like deadkeys were never properly supported on Windows. I found that similar issues affect other keyboards such as keyboard-sma.

Looking into a solution now.

@rueter can you test and confirm it's working as expected?

Note that I've been having trouble installing any keyboards via Divvun Manager on Windows 10.

Here's the latest keyboard-apu nightly Windows installer

@dylanhand , @rian-maia has tested the new Apu-Latn-BR keyboard on Win11, and it works, producing the desired deadkey results.
We are now trying it out with Sidney Facundes on a Win10.

There is still one issue in the presentation in Windows, that is that the input language is not shown in the right lower corner of the screen when «Apu-Latn-BR» is being used. Should I make a separate issue for this? I will need a couple of screenshots to demonstrate it.

@dylanhand
Win10 now works as well.
For some reason, however, the combination ɨ U+0268 (i with stroke) cannot take a tilde U+0308 as a deadkey result. For this reason, I am now attempting to facilitate this combination as ‹AltGr t›
@rian-maia, can you test ‹ɨ̃›, i with stroke and a tilde on top, on Win11, please?
