The dpi values "xdpi" and "ydpi" can have wildly different values on
different devices.
The new computation defines a baseline and only take into account the
dpi values as a ratio.
On a 480dpi screen (in both directions), this decrease the value by
about 18%. This new distance felt better during testing.
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.
Store preferences in device protected storage, which is available before
the device is unlocked.
The keyboard was crashing when trying to access the encrypted
preferences.
The emoji pane uses a separate preferences file, the old data is lost.
The SettingsActivity can't easily use the new preferences storage.
Instead, it continues to use the "default" preferences store, which is
copied back to the protected storage when needed.
The 'accent_slash' was missing in the extra keys setting.
Allow to type more latin letters "with oblique stroke" or "with stroke"
that visually have an oblique bar, that were not added to 'accent_bar'.
There seems to be no "DayNight" theme compatible with older version of
android outside of the androidx library.
Using 'Theme.DeviceDefault' which is a dark theme, even if it doesn't
sounds like. Detect if a light theme should be used at activity
creation.
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.
The key enable caps lock immediately. It does nothing if caps lock is
already enabled.
It is not present on the keyboard by default but a place is defined on
every layout, top-right of the shift key. It can be enabled in the
settings.
The icon is from materialdesignicons.com.
This mode is annoying to some users and is disabled in most text views.
The keyboard has a fixed sized relative to the height of the screen in
landscape mode. The keyboard can't take more space than expected,
currently.
This might cause problems in the future and might be hidden behind an
option if one is found. Every text views so far seemed to behave fine.
In Turkish, upper case of 'iı' is 'İI' but Java's toUpperCase will
return 'II'.
To make 'İ' accessible, make it the shift of 'ı'. This has the
inconvenient of swapping i and ı on the keyboard.
* Added Czech translation and layout
Translated keyboard and created Czech multilingual "practical" layout for faster typing and typing in commonly used languages (German, Slovak + French w/accents)
* Update (Rephrase) full_description.txt
... to better suit the language and naturally promote keyboard's features and possibilities to a wider audience.
The Fn+switch_numeric shortcut might be hard to discover or too slow for
heavy users.
A location is allocated for the key so it has a consistent placement.
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.
Change the capitalisation algorithm to use Android's
'getCursorCapsMode'. This requires a bit of cursor calculations but
should feel more standard.
The auto completion only triggers after a space is typed or backspace is
pressed.
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.
