`gen_layouts.py` lists the layouts in `res/xml` and generate the
`pref_layout_values` and `pref_layout_entries` arrays into
`res/values/layouts.xml`.
These arrays are hard to maintain as the order has to match, which is
fragile.
This relies on every layouts having a `name` attribute.
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
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").
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.
Similar to 'qwertz' but is wider to show äöü on dedicated keys. Some
punctuations are rebalanced to use the space better.
The default layout for de_DE is changed.
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.
* 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
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.
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
