Viet-Programmers keyboard layout for Linux / X11

enough is enough ;)

Here you can find Vietnamese keyboard layout based on the idea of Polish-Programmers layout, ie: the Vietnamese special characters are obtained with right side Alt key (called AltGr) + the corresponding similar character from the basic latin alphabet. If there are more than one Vietnamese letters based on one latin letter, then use the next letter on the right. See Usage section below for details.

You can help by translating this page as my Vietnamese still sucks too much to do this myself ;]
