Hi, I've also tried to develop a keyboard for finger-use. I started with developing a dictionary library, and have only made a very simple GUI to use it.
I haven't seen you keyboard yet, but I'm really looking forward to. In addition to this, I hope to be able to incorporate the dictionary I've made.
