The arabic layout was used as the default on devices where all the
installed languages are not supported by the keyboard. This is not
intended.
This is probably caused by 'getCurrentInputMethodSubtype' returning the
first layout in the list of disabled subtypes in alphabetical or
language tag order.
Re-ordering the subtypes in method.xml had no effect.
Setting 'overridesImplicitlyEnabledSubtype' in method.xml has no
measured effect.
This adds the clipboard pane, which allows to save an arbitrary number of
clipboards and to paste them later. The key can be disabled in settings.
Checking the "Recently copied text" checkbox will cause the keyboard to keep a
temporary history of copied text. This history can only contain 3 elements
which expire after 5 minutes.
If this is unchecked, no history is collected.
History entries can be pinned into the persisted list of pins.
This happen when opening the settings from the launcher activity without
ever opening the keyboard.
To remove this bug entirely, the KeyboardData.init method is removed,
the pieces needing initialization are now cached in Config.
The COMPOSE_PENDING modifier indicate whether a compose sequence is in
progress. The new key of kind Compose_pending sets the current state of
the sequence.
The compose sequences are compiled into a state machine by a python
script into a compact encoding.
The state of the pending compose is determined by the index of a state.
The pin entry layout shouldn't be inverted as the letter indications
would be meaningless and the order would be opposite to what the option
specifies.
The enter and action key are swapped as the automatic swapping is also
removed.
Incompatible APIs were used in the custom layouts and the extra keys
options.
Add @TargetApi annotations to help catch similar issues in the future
with the help of 'gradle lint'.
Android's shouldOfferSwitchingToNextInputMethod() method might return
false when an other IME is installed, perhaps when the other IME doesn't
specify android:supportsSwitchingToNextInputMethod="true".
Bring a popup for choosing the voice IME when the voice key is pressed
for the first time or the list of voice IMEs installed on the device
change.
A preference stores the last selected IME and the last seen list of
IMEs.
This new attribute is now used instead of 'script' for modifying the
numpad according to the selected layout's script.
If not provided, it defaults to the value of 'script'.
Remember the selected layout in portrait and landscape mode
independently.
This allows to define a layout specific to landscape without having to
switch manually.
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 new `layouts` preference replaces three previous preferences:
layout
second_layout
custom_layout
Add a preference migration function, which first migration is to
migrate layouts into the new preference.
The migration must also be called from the SettingsActivity as it might
use a different preference store due to the boot-aware preference copy.
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 dead-key is replaced by its alternative if there's only one
specified.
Extra keys from every subtypes must be merged together to be able to
make this check.
For each extra key, a list of alternative can be specified. An extra key
won't be added to the keyboard if all its alternatives are already
present on it.
This is useful to avoid having the dead key for an accent and the
accented letters at the same time.
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.
This new class will help write more logs. The LogPrinter is no longer
created everytime the keyboard is opened.
An error log is added if failing to load the custom extra keys.
Allows to define a locale's script in 'method.xml' and use that to add
the extra keys for a locale to layouts of the same script only.
A locale of an undefined script will add its extra keys to every
layouts. A layout of an undefined script will have the extra keys of all
the enabled locales.
On API level < 12 or on some rare cases, `refreshSubtypeLayout` was not
called, making `_localeTextLayout` uninitialized.
This might also happen if `getExtraValueOf` returns an invalid layout name.
eg. `method.xml` contains an invalid layout name.
The `KeyEventHandler` class is intended to handle every keys and to call
into the main class through a limited API.
However, this is not true for `Event` keys, which in practice had each a
corresponding API call.
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.
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.
Refactor, follow up of 90b7944. Add a modification step to the "special"
layouts: numpad, greekmath, pin entry.
Remove the apply_key0 function, which is not expressive enough.
Add an enum instead of yet an other "switch_" function.
Stay on the secondary layout after a config refresh or onStartInputView.
The information is kept until the keyboard is restarted.
Additionally, move tweaking the secondary layout to the Config class now
that physical equality is not needed.
setInputView() was not called when the view was re-created through
refresh_config(). Also, the refresh_config() function was not able to
properly set the current layout.
Now keep the default layout (_localeTextLayout) and the current non-text
layout (if any, _currentSpecialLayout) separately to be able to refresh
them later.
setInputView() is called everytime the view is created instead of by
onStartInputView() specifically.
The setting activity now save the preferences to the protected storage
in onStop() instead of listening for onSharedPreferenceChanged.
This function has been introduced in API 19 and deprecated in API 28.
There was no version check for API 19 but instead of adding these,
simply remove the feature for API under 28.
Remove the code dealing with InputMethodConnection from 'Keyboard2' and
move it into 'KeyEventHandler', where more editing actions can now be
implemented.
Autocapitalisation is also moved, the IReceiver interface is simplified.
A new option allow to choose a secondary layout, the switching key is
placed on the top edge of the space bar.
The "Programming layout" option was basically doing that but it was
possible to choose from a few layouts only. It is improved and renamed.
The 'LayoutListPreference' allows setting the string for the first entry
but otherwise share the rest of the array.
Add nice icons from materialdesignicons.
Store preferences in device protected storage, which is available before
the device is unlocked.
The keyboard was crashing when trying to access the encrypted
preferences.
The emoji pane uses a separate preferences file, the old data is lost.
The SettingsActivity can't easily use the new preferences storage.
Instead, it continues to use the "default" preferences store, which is
copied back to the protected storage when needed.
The key enable caps lock immediately. It does nothing if caps lock is
already enabled.
It is not present on the keyboard by default but a place is defined on
every layout, top-right of the shift key. It can be enabled in the
settings.
The icon is from materialdesignicons.com.
