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.

Added the middle dot (·) to the Spanish keyboard, in order to be able to type
Catalan words and names. Catalan is spoken in Eastern Spain, and the middle top
is therefore included in standard PC Spanish keyboards.
Also changed the Tab key to an upwards-leftwards swipe, as to follow more closely
the programmer's layout qwerty.xml
This is only to make this layout more similar to the default English layout.
Macrons are not actually used in any language spoken in Spain, but they
appear to be used in some varieties of Nahuatl?
Also added C-cedilla to the N-tilde key. Even if both C-cedilla and N-tilde
are redundant in this keyboard, both letters are a staple of Spain keyboards,
and Spaniards are used to have a dedicated key for C-cedilla in PC keyboards.
* Providing a comprehensible Brazilian Portuguese keyboard layout
removed cedille as it is already provided by an independent key;
changed layout to correspond to the locale
* Clicking twice on CTRL or ALT will lock them in 'ON' state
* Make Locking behaviour optional, configurable in preferences
* Nest the new settings into a different page
To avoid spamming the settings page and repetition in the summaries.
Cannot be a popup unfortunately because that would require API >= 11.
* Add Fn and Meta

`res/xml/qwerty_lv.xml` was updated to add the missing full stop
character (`.`) as it got lost when the bottom row was moved to a
separate XML `res/xml/bottom_row.xml` as it was placed on the
arrows key.
Additionally `?` was relocated, giving its place to the full stop.
Show these characters only for users that have the corresponding locale
installed (a supported eu language for €, en-GB for £).
Add these characters to most layouts.
Depending on the pixel density isn't ideal for a keyboard, which would
render differently depending on the "scaling" accessibility option.
Landscape mode needs a special values. At the same time, increase the
horizontal margin when landscape.
- Add the umlauts back.
- Remove the accents. QWERTZ changes from "programming layout" to
"localized layout".
- Move the '?' away from the edge of the screen.
Add a new boolean parameter "edgekeys" for defining keys that have the
additional (swipe) keys on the edges (top, right, left, bottom) instead
of at the corners (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right).
Currently using the diamond symbol like the history meta key: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_key
However, this key is actually interpreted as the Super/Windows key but
Android calls it "meta" internally.
A customised Latvian specific QWERTY layout (QWERTY (Latvian)) was added
to access all Latvian diacritic characters with a swipe.
Additionally caron, cedille and macron accents were enabled for this
layout.
It is placed on the top-right of the enter key on every layouts.
It sends a special event (performEditorAction) instead of writing a
newline.
The "actionId" is passed through the EditorInfo object in an obfuscated
way so it's not clear whether it's using the right one.
Add a "Theme" option to choose between a dark and light theme.
The light theme uses the colors of the dark theme with the luminance
inversed.
The reloading after a configuration change is changed slightly:
- Special handling is needed when the Theme is changed (recreate the views)
- The default implementation of 'onConfigurationChanged' is used
Which triggers more refresh (but don't recreate the views)
- 'onCreateInputView' is no longer needed
