Hi all! I'm using the illume keyboard on my OM2008.12 powered Freerunner. I have created my own keyboard layouts that perfectly fit to my needs: 1. qwerty without any special characters - Finger friendly 2. Numbers and most special chars - Finger friendly 3. Full-featured notebook-like with all the crap you never need - Stylus friendly
When using my FR as on the go, I constantly need the first two layouts. And I have to switch quite often beween them but I never use the third one. When I'm at home and fiddle around with lots of terminals and stuff like that, it happens that I need the third layout. But then, I have a stylus. The problem now is, that when I'm writing a message using my thumb and switch between the different layouts I need to slide the keyboard up once to switch from the qwerty layout to the numbers but I have to slide up twice to get back to the qwerty one. This is because I have to hop over the full-featured layout that I cannot use with my fingers. The idea is this: It would be great to be able to define if a layout should be addressed when sliding the finger up. This way, only the finger-friendly keyboards would be visible when using the FR only with your fingers. When using a stylus one could still open the terminal-keyboard using the menu on the upper right of the keyboard. This could be done by defining a property in the keyboard file just like for example the property for enabling/disabling the dictionary. IMHO this is not the ultra-mind-blowing idea, but would be a little step closer to the worlds best on-screen-keyboard.
