If this is preventing implementation of cursor keys throughout all applications, why don't we just ditch this misfeature and make the keyboard behave like a, um, keyboard rather than a text editor? I'm sure most people prefer usable navigation over autocorrect (which often autocorrects wrong, btw). And if that's not the case, maybe make this optional: let the user chose (via an option or setting) whether he wants direct keyboard (with cursor keys, modifiers and everything) or autocorrect. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377096 Title: [OSK] Ubuntu Touch should allow alternative keyboard layouts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1377096/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1377096] Re: [OSK] Ubuntu Touch should allow alternative keyboard layouts
looking at the keyboard source code - it indeed looks impossible not only to add custom symbols without recompiling - but no modifier keys are ever possible to be sent as the keyboard acts as text editor (for autocorrect, etc) and does not directly send keycode events to Mir. So there does not seem to be any straightforward way to enable modifier or any special keys. It may be easier to implement sending direct keyboard events as a separate service and then crafting a client into ubuntu-keyboard to talk to it and use the keyboard as an UI only to send real events, like have a "^C" button, etc.. otherwise it will require a huge rewrite of the logic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377096 Title: [OSK] Ubuntu Touch should allow alternative keyboard layouts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1377096/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Alternative layouts may include Dvorak / bépo layouts as well.

I reported a quite similar issue a few days ago here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-keyboard/+bug/1573990 Having an old-modern "1-9" mobile phone keyboard would be also a great idea.

Should be possible by ie. having a DIY layout files simlinked to a ~/.config/ folder See an example https://plus.google.com/+BernardBanko/posts/f9eFF3rpmtq Another would be to have different layout in portrait and layout mode. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377096 Title: [OSK] Ubuntu Touch should allow alternative keyboard layouts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1377096/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
