The Fn+switch_numeric shortcut might be hard to discover or too slow for
heavy users.
A location is allocated for the key so it has a consistent placement.
Allows to add more keys to the keyboard from a predefined list.
The implementation doesn't use MultiSelectListPreference because it
doesn't seem possible to change the item layout to properly show the
rendered symbols.
Modifiers can be locked with a long press. The key repeat mechanism is re-used
and the press timeout is the same.
Every modifiers can be locked that way, not only the "lockable" ones.
The previous behavior can be enabled in the settings (for shift only)
but the default is changed.
Bring back the "Vibration" option.
The duration option isn't added back because the vibration settings are
still handled by Android. In fact, the option has no effect if the
vibration are disabled in the system settings.
This partially reverts commit ef03dfed5c.
The '0' has been moved because it was hard to type due to being close to
the edge of the screen.
This is fixed in a more elegant way in a27c644, there's no reason to
keep the '0' in an inconsistent place anymore.
Each layouts can chose which key are localized instead of specifying it
globally for each key.
Important keys are no longer removed from layouts if the 'extra_keys'
mechanism is not working properly. This can happen if language tags
specified in method.xml don't match the user's language.
Removed some currency symbols from some layouts. They are all in the Fn
layer.
Since SDK 21, applications can set the background color of the
navigation bar. This is normally simply an item in a theme but it is
more complicated for keyboards.
Requires two new diacritics: ogonek and dot_above.
The new accents are also added to the Latvian layout as the two language
can be close but not to the other localized layouts. A new mechanism is
needed to reproducibly add extra keys to layouts without manual
placement.
This reverts commit b85b67c2f0.
The Ctrl key was too hard to use in the new position, especially in
combination with arrows or backspace.
Leave the switching key in the numeric layout however, where the Ctrl
key is not very useful. Put Ctrl on the top-right because bottom-right
is where the switching key is in the other layouts.
Allow specifying a layout for programming and add a key for switching to
it easily.
The switching key is placed on the top edge of the space bar.
The option has no effect by default because the ergonomic isn't ideal,
it needs to be enabled explicitly.
Users of Latin-script languages certainly prefer to use one layout (for
programming or not). This feature might be removed in favor of a better
language-switching mechanisms in the future.
These keys are harder to hit as the finger might exit the screen before
traveling enough to hit a corner. It might be particularly harder for
people that use a phone case.
Every layouts are changed, the notable changes are:
- The Escape key is in the bottom-right corner of the first key.
This position looks weird at first but is a lot easier to type.
- The 0 key is on the top-left of the last key on the first row.
It is not like the other digits.
- The Tab key is on the top-right. This might be hard to re-learn.
- Some layouts had more changes to accomodate these new positions.
