`method.xml` is now able to specify a preferred position for each extra
keys in term of an other key to which it should be placed nearby.
It's implemented for French as an example.
The numeric layout and the optional right hand side numpad are modified
to show the digits belonging to the script used in the current layout.
The numpads are still defined as it was before. The digits are changed
in `modify_numpad` if needed.
The slider was repeatedly sending arrow keys, which change the focused
input when the end of a text box is hit.
A new key is added that implements cursor movements using the
`InputConnection` API.
The new keys are defined as `KeyValue.Editing`, which are no longer only
context menu actions.
The behavior when a selection has started is changed. The selection is
modified instead of cleared even when shift isn't pressed or the
selection would become empty.
Fallbacks to sending arrow keys for editors that do not support the API,
like Termux.
Adapted from qwertz DE to match qwertz fr_CH layout.
Added all missing characters with accents needed in French while leaving the most common Swiss German characters as it is on the Swiss layout PC keyboard.
Re-organized some special characters to be in a similar position than the PC layout.
* Add locale fr-CH
This merges the "Layouts" option with the "Custom layout" option.
A custom layout becomes an item in the "Layouts" list among the other
layouts. It's possible to add several custom layouts.
Selecting the "Custom layout" item in the list opens a second dialog for
entering the layout description.
Layouts are serialized as JSON object and are decoded solely in the
LayoutsPreference class.
The two layout selection options are replaced by a ListGroupPreference
that allow to enter an arbitrary amount of layouts.
The "switch_second" and "switch_second_back" keys are replaced by
"switch_forward" and "switch_backward", which allow to cycle through the
selected layouts in two directions.
Layouts are changed to place these two key on the space bar.
The backward key is not shown if there's only two layouts.
* Add section mark as an extra key in QWERTY-like layouts that don't have it already
* Add dagger (also double dagger) as an extra key in QWERTY-like layouts
This is a new section in the extra keys option that allows to enter
arbitrary strings which are then added to the keyboard.
A new string is needed for the title of the section, Android's icons and
strings are used as much as possible to avoid adding more strings.
Keys are stored in the preferences as a JSON array of strings.
The current approach is hard to maintain, for example the last key
"autofill" was not displayed.
This implements a PreferenceGroup that contains the check boxes for
every extra keys without involving listing the preferences in
settings.xml.
A custom layout is used to remove the 'title' text view.
The list of extra keys is moved into the new class.
'ExtraKeyCheckBoxPreference' becomes a nested class.
This function is no longer an hardcoded list of layout ids. It's
replaced by a linear scan of the previously generated array and a new
corresponding array of resource ids.
`gen_layouts.py` lists the layouts in `res/xml` and generate the
`pref_layout_values` and `pref_layout_entries` arrays into
`res/values/layouts.xml`.
These arrays are hard to maintain as the order has to match, which is
fragile.
This relies on every layouts having a `name` attribute.
Added Romanian characters to the keyboard layout and changed the positioning
corner for the secondary characters that were conflicting with the
newly-introduced romanian characters
Added Romanian translations
The new key switches to any installed "voice" input method.
If several input methods matches, no effort is made to choose.
Might misbehave with some input methods other than Google's on API < 28.
It is placed on the middle of the arrows on the bottom bar. It is
enabled by default and can be removed in the "Extra keys" option.
The key is not removed from the keyboard if no voice input method
exists.
The newer haptic feedback API that is used instead of the vibrator
service since ef03dfe doesn't work for everyone.
The new vibration option allow to choose both the newer API ("system")
and the older API ("strong", "medium", "light").
This activity points to the system settings page for enabling input
methods. This is purely a shortcut but is expected by many users.
It could be made more useful in the future or hidden whenever the
keyboard is enabled.
'Keyboard.Key' now contains an array of size 9, giving each keyvalue an
index. The algorithm for finding the nearest key during a swipe now
needs 16 segments, which are now calculated as an angle.
The algorithm does one more interation instead of 2 more, slightly
reducing the sensitivity of corner values. The 'getAtDirection' function
is moved into the Pointers class to clearly separate the two systems.
The 'edgekey' attribute is now obsolete but is kept for compatibility.
The flag is removed internally, key index are simply translated.
Similarly, the 'slider' attribute now act on keys at index 5 and 6
instead of 2 and 3.
A new option changes the "change_method" into the new
"change_method_prev". It switch to the previously used input method.
A long press on "change_method_prev" sends "change_method".
A new section is added in the settings and existing options are moved.
