Implementing Engram-ES in QMK firmware: questions and clarifications,

[fenixero]

I'm currently configuring a Sofle keyboard to use Engram-ES, and everything is working great so far.

While doing this, a few questions came up.

In the Spanish version of Engram, you define:

AltGr + . = • (middle dot, or "interpunct")

However, I'm not sure which Unicode character you intended to use here.

The character shown in the documentation is U+2022 BULLET (•), but the name "middle dot" or "interpunct" would correspond to U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT (·).

I assume the intended character is U+2022, since that's the one commonly used for Markdown bullet lists, but I'd like to confirm.

I also noticed:

AltGr + ' = (back tick)`

Was the intention to provide a dedicated key for the backtick?

As far as I can tell, the ☆ key already provides access to the backtick through:

☆ + AltGr

followed by pressing Space, since ☆ + AltGr acts as the Grave Accent dead key.

So I'm wondering whether the dedicated backtick assignment was intentional or simply included for convenience.

Finally, I'm building a Sofle, so I only have 60 physical keys available. After reserving my usual layer-switching keys, I only had room for 46 Engram keys. To make everything fit, I moved / and \ to the ¿ key and ? + AltGr respectively.

I'm curious whether you've experimented with similar adaptations for smaller keyboards, or if you have any recommendations for compact implementations of Engram-ES.

Once I finish this work, I'd like to share my implementation with the community so others can use Engram-ES directly in their QMK firmware without needing to install a custom keyboard layout on their computers.

My goal is to make Engram-ES portable across devices and operating systems, so the layout behavior is defined entirely in the keyboard firmware rather than depending on software configuration on each machine.
