This allows to add new kinds of keys that need more data without making
KeyValue's footprint bigger for common keys.
This changes the [_symbol] field into [_payload], which holds the same
as the previous field for more common keys but can hold bigger objects
for keys of the new "Complex" kind.
This also adds a complex key: String keys with a symbol different than
the outputted string.
Unit tests are added as the Java language is not helpful in making
robust code.
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.
Internally "key repeat" is reword into "long press" when the same
mechanism was used for both features.
The constraint that 'timeoutWhat' must be set to '-1' when no message is
expected has been lifted to simplify the code.
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.
* Make slider speed independent from swipe distance
Swipe distances other than the default resulted in a slider that were
not easy to control.
* refactor: Add class Pointers.Sliding
It holds the states and the code needed to make the slider work.
'Pointer.sliding' is set to [null] when sliding is not in progress.
The implementation is changed not to depend on [downX] and [dx] but
instead use the pointer's [x] coordinate directly.
* Move the cursor further for faster slides
In sliding mode, compute the speed of the pointer and use it to increase
at which the cursor moves.
* refactor: Separate kind for cursor movement keys
This allows to define a key that moves the cursor more than one position
at a time.
This will be used to avoid lag during fast slider movements.
* Reduce lag when sliding quickly on the spacebar
Avoid sending key events in a loop while sliding quickly in a cursor
movement key. Key of kind Cursor_move are "multiplied", meaning a single
key event represents a movement of more than one position, reducing the
number of key events sent.
This is only for cursor move keys.
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.
Android 3.0 (API level 11) was released in Feb 2011.
These versions were already unsupported due to unavoidable calls to:
- MotionEvent.getActionMasked() (API 8)
And avoidable calls to:
- SharedPreferences.Editor.putStringSet() (API 11)
This allows to use modifiers in combination with other inputs like a
mouse click, for example under termux-x11.
The key down event and notification about modifiers changing are sent
down to KeyEventHandler. A mutable state remember for which modifier
down events have been sent.
When pressing down a modifier with one finger and typing with the
other, it might appear that the modifier is released after the first
time an other key is pressed and then pressed and released for the
following keys.
This prevents unintentionally type two modified keys instead of one
when the second key is pressed while the other is not yet released.
Android's shouldOfferSwitchingToNextInputMethod() method might return
false when an other IME is installed, perhaps when the other IME doesn't
specify android:supportsSwitchingToNextInputMethod="true".
This reverts commits ef03dfed5c and
ff01678ba6.
The "vibration duration" slider is bought back.
The "vibration enabled" option is replaced by "custom vibration", which switch between the system haptic feedback or the custom vibration.
The slider is greyed when "custom vibration" is unchecked and is
allowed to have a value of 0 to disable vibrations within the app.
The intermediate values "light", "medium" and "strong" are removed and
no migration of the setting is made.
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.
`KeyboardData.getKeys()` now returns a map of the keys present on the
layout to their position. Positions are the row, column and swipe
direction.
The computed map is cached in the KeyboardData object as it might be
accessed later by `findKeyWithValue`, which now do less work.
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.
Settings defined with `get_dip_pref` had a wrong default value on first
launch.
The "right" default value was used after the shared preferences are
populated.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
