Math Keyboard is Here!

I wanted a math keyboard and I set out to create one myself,
but the task was daunting and the learning curve was to be
steep.  The new X Keyboard Extension method is quite complicated.

However, there is no need.  Someone has done it already:

This is fantastic!

I am using it now.  Here is some of the Greek alphabet:

α β γ δ ... φ θ ω Ω

And some math symbols:

∂f/∂x

∫fdx

Effortless!  No need for Shift+Alt+U, enter hex code, Enter.

There are problems, however.  The key to enter math mode is only the
Alt-R key, which can be awkward, and especially the Shift+Alt-R.  That
hurts my fingers.

Also, the Greek letters are not all mapped to the appropriate English
key.  For example, gamma is not mapped to "c" and psi is mapped to "g."
There are also upper-case Greek chars missing.

But I have a good template that I can modify.  I need to change the modifier
key to both the right and left Win key and also exclude/include symbols that
I don't/do want.

GNU/Linux/FOSS is the greatest.
