xkb_symbols "colemak_tr" {

  include "us(colemak)"

  name[Group1]= "Turkish (Colemak)";

  key <AD01> {[ odiaeresis,  Odiaeresis,  q,             Q          ]};
  key <AD02> {[ scedilla,    Scedilla,    w,             W          ]};
  key <AD10> {[ gbreve,      Gbreve,      semicolon,     colon      ]};
  key <AD11> {[ udiaeresis,  Udiaeresis,  bracketleft,   braceleft  ]};
