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 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 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").
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.
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.
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.
* Add option for keyboard opacity (transparency). Keyboard background, keys and pressed keys can be adjusted separately.
* Make the borders transparent as well
* Moved setAlphas outside drawKeyFrame to top of onDraw method
Add an option for specifying an XML layout description as a string.
The option is a bit rough at the moment:
- No documentation, users have to be aware of the keyboard's code to use
this option.
- No error are shown, the layout will fallback to qwerty on error.
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.
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.
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.
Using the --product option of aapt.
Remove the app name from translations because it is never translated. It
is still possible to translate it by specifying 'product="default"'.
* 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

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.
