Hi, thank you very much.

Yes, I would agree. The Baybayin script is alphasyllabry so it is always CV-CV, then other vowels are represented by use of a diacritical mark resulting to just 18 base "glyphs" only.

Initially I did not include "VoidSymbols" but I noticed that if it is left empty, the system checks the next "upper" keyboard in the list and producing the character there first.

1: Latin = Key1234 produces "A"
2: Baybayin = Key1234 is empty

If pressing Key1234 in Baybayin will produce the letter "A" from the Latin layout. I opted instead to hardcode "VoidSymbols" to avoid it. From what I understand, it was intentional?

Anyway, I guess that's for another thread / ticket. Thank you again!
