The script `check_layout.py` checks some properties about layouts.
No check is an error.
The result of running this script on every layouts is stored in the file
`check_layout.output`, which is useful to track changes.
Add make rules to run this script as well as `sync_translations`.
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.
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").
Specify the behavior of shift for a layout. This is intended for locales
that use the same alphabet but have different capital letters (eg.
Bengali).
The modmap is defined like this:
<keyboard>
<modmap>
<shift a="a" b="A"/>
</modmap>
</keyboard>
This unconditionally removes all pointers (touches) pressing modifiers
which are not already locked, avoiding that the (currently) latched
modifier will be locked aventually.
This can be verfified while sliding the space bar to move the cursor
left or right.
Closes#319.
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.
The previous algorithm did not cut the circle into 16 equal parts.
The division by 2pi yielded numbers smaller than 16, which no longer
made sense after the cast to int.
'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.
The 'keysHeight' field needs to be updated. As this class is not
intended to be mutable, copy the list of rows and call the constructor.
Also remove an unecessary component of the keyboard height calculation.
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.
Send key events for the left or right arrow as the finger slides on the
space bar.
Can be used to select text by holding shift. Works under Termux.
Events are sent linearly as the finger travels. The distance between
each events is defined from the swiping distance divided by 4.
'slider="true"' can be set on a key that have 'edgekeys="true"'.
'key2' and 'key3' represent the right and left keys.
It allowed to modulate the repeat speed of some keys (arrow, backspace,
delete) by move the finger farther or closer to the key.
In practice, this wasn't pratical and doesn't seem popular. It is
removed in favor of a better mechanism for moving the cursor.
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.
Values like 'characterSize' and 'horizontalMargin' can't be fed back into the default value because they are not of the same unit.
To avoid this happening again, change the way the default value is defined for every options.
The 'key_height' dimension was no longer used.
The most requested keys are undo and redo. Unfortunatly redo doesn't
work reliably.
The other context menu actions like share, assist and autofill are added
even thought they are rarely useful or implemented.
