Emulate the Professor's typing
Background
Unfortunately, the Professor is not able to use his keyboard properly: whenever he is meant to use the Shift key, he presses Caps Lock once before typing, and doesn't bother to correct himself. If there are two or more keys in a row that require Shift, he presses Caps Lock before the first one and does nothing before the others.
As his secretary, I want to replicate this effect so that people think that he is the one replying to his emails, not me. He knows his typing looks stupid, but he doesn't care.
Task
Write a program that takes STDIN or file input of some text, and then outputs that text as if it had been typed by the Professor.
This is code golf, and standard loopholes are not allowed.
Keyboard layout
Default:
` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - =
q w e r t y u i o p [ ]
a s d f g h j k l ; ' #
\ z x c v b n m , . /
With shift:
¬ ! " £ $ % ^ & * ( ) _ +
Q W E R T Y U I O P { }
A S D F G H J K L : @ ~
| Z X C V B N M < > ?
With caps lock:
` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - =
Q W E R T Y U I O P [ ]
A S D F G H J K L ; ' #
\ Z X C V B N M , . /
Example input / output
(The CapsLock
line is just there for your understanding, and should not be outputted in your program)
Input: abc ** def ! (ghijkl) mnop
Output: abc 88 DEF 1 9GHIJKL0 mnop
CapsLock: * * * * (* means Caps Lock was pressed before this character)
Input: print("Hello, World!"); sys.exit()
Output: print92HELLO, world120; SYS.EXIT90
CapsLock: * * * *
Input: !ABC!abc!ABC!abc!x!y!z
Output: 1ABC1ABC1abc1abc1X1y1Z
CapsLock: * * * * *
You did the keyboards all wrong ;) http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/156177/314301
– J Atkin – 2016-02-21T03:23:32.5133I would say that the opposite of this task would be more interesting :) (i.e to correct his wrongly types mails) – Optimizer – 2014-10-14T17:26:56.973
4@Optimizer Too ambiguous. Input
HELLO
could be "corrected" toHello
,HEllo
,HELlo
, etc. – Geobits – 2014-10-14T17:46:12.313But the correct would be
Hello
only, as defined by word case (or fixed rules of correct English casing) – Optimizer – 2014-10-14T17:54:40.110@Optimizer Sure, just pointing out it would need some strict rules, especially regarding numbers/symbols, which could be way more ambiguous than standard prose text. I agree it would be fun if done right. – Geobits – 2014-10-14T18:19:31.383
@Geobits Perhaps that could be a bonus (e.g. 50% bytes)? – monopole – 2014-10-14T19:50:13.067
4@laurencevs Honestly I'd rather see it as a separate challenge :) – Geobits – 2014-10-14T19:51:12.713
1What kind of voodoo keyboard is this? – Brandon – 2014-10-17T17:44:30.790
