Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
also, when there is no ctrl+shift+r on the conversations app active, the portrait keyboard that appears is half the screen full only.
But when the ctrl+shift+r is activated, the vkb goes all the way up until the status menu... so far, both are tolerable but maybe i'd prefer the fuller one... good thing is, we can have a bigger text layout to see what we typed but the other half-screened one is good to see the previous chat messages. :) |

Alternatively, a simple file in the same folder as the rest of the vkb's data would work too. Also, what you could do is use three fields/variables/gconf-entries/lines-in-a-.conf-file etc: 1. Lock 2. Landscape 3. Portrait If you make it use integers or a name string instead of a boolean for 2 and 3, it'll be more scalable to other 'types' of keyboard layouts - IE, if someone writes that swirling/circle input method as an add-on to your vkb and submits it to you as a patch or something, those variables no longer have to be reworked. And then the lock variable can be a boolean, and it would be settable in the settings somewhere (toggle/radio button), that prevents rewrites of 2 and 3. That way, you can set the default so that even if you normally like the qwerty, but for some situation chose to use alphanum one day, and close out of the keyboard without switching back, it'll first check if you have the lock variable set to true, and if you do, it'll leave your 2 and 3 variables alone, but it'll edit them of lock is set to false. And in the settings, it can simply be called "Lock Default Keyboard" or something. But it's up to you. Ultimately, most people will be just fine without this extra locking (myself included) - it just gives an extra layer of soft cushy convenience for people. |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
Perhaps I solved the problem about losed commit, both in "windows" and in microB. I did several attempts without lose a single word and I hope that this is not only a case...
This afternoon I will do other test and if all works fine I will publish a new version @Mentalist: due to fastsms is Qt based I can't use gconf, but Qt implements other usefull things for this kind of work...but I agree with you in all the rest of your post |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
I've just uploaded a new version for both fastsmsevo (0.1-7) and fastsms (0.5-4). They will be available soon in devel
This new version should not lose text and works fine also in microB. PS I can't test twitter apps because I haven't an account...Please let me know if now they are ok EDIT: Remember reboot after install |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
WORKS.
The very first opening of the keyboard after boot-up wouldn't let me click on the input box itself to change cursor position, but rotating fixed that. :D Yet another major hurdle to usability bites the dust. - Edit - Also just tested in X-Term. Works no matter where you click. No voodoo necessary. P.S. This edit posted from N900's MicroB in portrait mode. |

This was really hard to fix because I can't use debug...but I really hope that it is ok. I used vkb all the day without a single lose commit...If nobody will post errors about this I will move to other bugs in next days... |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
Been using it quite a lot now especially t9.
Just a few bugs fastsmsevo doesnt register new words ive put into fast sms would the t9 dictonary be able to change the order in which words are displayed depending on frequency used similar to usual t9? a send button in the vkb would be good because aftr writing a message in t9 portrait you have to press off, vkb disappears, screen flips. vkb reappears then dissappears n then you can press send. or another way to improve speed would be for the portrait vkb to not flip hildon, so it stayed portrait. Hope this helps |

It seems like it should be reasonably doable - Qt must surely have some way of detecting if the window at the 'top' is in landscape or portrait? This way, if you're in landscape, you can just do what you're doing now - but if you're already in portrait, can't it just skip the bit of code quoted by Mohammad, thus skipping the portrait-landscape-close-vkb-portrait-again dance? (So long as you do the initial check BEFORE deploying the VKB - that way any rotations of all of hildon that are done while the keyboard is open don't affect the value.) |

vkb is like a standalone app, it haven't any idea of "top" app, because itself is a top...(hope you can understand) by the way I can check the parameter suggested by MohammadAG in the plugin and then pass it to vkb so I should fix that problem... There is a lot of work to do but I'm alone with university exams in next month...A friend of mine will help me from march (perhaps) but if someone else wants join... |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
I'm happy to help if I can. Of course, like you I have limited time and, worse, I don't have the already existing knowledge of Qt that you have. That said, I do intend to look through the source code and read up on Qt when/as I have time. (But at the same time, I'm trying to learn enough Python to be of use in Advanced Clock Plugin, Advanced Power, and Advanced Interface Switcher, development. As well as some U-Boot and BackupMenu related stuff that I want to make happen, but probably won't be able to for a while because I have zero experience with both.)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
erm... kinda noticed that there aren't words for
I'll I'm I've I'd cause the apostrophe somehow doesn't seem to work automatically like previous t9 dicts. it'll be a real pain to add like one word at a time in the 'new word' option in fastsms right? I tried and sorta gave up halfway... anyway to add it automatically from a dict or something? |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
downloaded the latest one... seems snappier and faster... however... always looks like i have to open fastsms before the vkb would work. tried clicking on other places but the vkb took a very long time. tried another time to open fastsms and then load the vkb and it was almost instantaneous.

First run takes some second as described in first post, system have to load dictionary, ui, etc...You don't need do open fastsms from icon but you have to wait some second ONLY on first run About words like I'll, I'm etc...thank you for your notice...I will check this soon. |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
Hey, this app or however i should call it is realy great, i have almost deleted vertsms. Although i do really need a language multichoice function or so. And also if You can somehow manage to add in here russian vkb. That would just be great! I do can help with this, but only if there is substituion of lettels is needed. Hope you understood me. Tnx for a great thing!

The addition of a "T9" predictive dictionary on this is absolutely incredible.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
theres a bug with vkb, nothing to do with this app..
in microb the vkb pops up when it shouldnt really annoying! |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
After last update it keeps opening the vkb even when the hkb is open. Very annoying. :(

for me even before i installed ur app, the vkb opens without you having to press in test field.. like i said, its nothing to do with this app..

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
What I noticed is that when you use vkb and you silde open de hkb the vkb doesn't disappear like it used to do

*Shrug* I can see how it can annoy some people though - personally I don't mind either one, but making that a configurable-in-settings-option might be nice too. Also, to everyone for whom your vkb OPENS when the hkb is open, that's very likely a hardware problem (it not detecting the keyboard is open/closed). Now, if it doesn't open with hkb open, but does STAY open when hkb is opened, then that's how this keyboard has always worked. |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
does this interfere with operas keyboard?also, any update on this mods battery consumption?
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
Ive noticed quite a bit of drain actually. ill get two graphs up to compare tomorrow
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
No, absolutely it doesn't interfere with opera keyboard...
About battery I didn't notice an average drain: it is possible due to accellerometer turn on when vkb is displayed, but this is correctly disable when you hide vkb. Vkb doesn't hide when you open hw one, but like Mentalist said I prefer this way, an option to manage this could be added in future... Quote:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
I have experienced a weird bug, I'm not entirely sure if it was directly caused by your app... After installing FastSMSEvo, somehow everytime I want send a text message to this _ONE_ contact, it would show that it's moving the msg to the outbox, but it would send it.. And when I recieve a msg from the same person it would show up as a reply, but if I close Conversations and go back in.. the whole history of msgs are gone (for that particular contact only)..
It's a really weird and odd bug.. Like why did it only happen to that person and noone else!? I uninstalled FastSMSEvo and it stayed the same, but then I deleted the whole contact and re-saved it again and then it gradually started to work again like it should... (First SMS I sent did the samething where it shows that it's movikng to the outbox when it's already been sent, but after that it went back to normal)... Again I am not sure that it's from your app for sure, because I also installed enhanced kernel and removed it with FastSMSEvo... |

EDIT: There are some well-knowed bugs in "conversation" (like sending icon that remains also when sms was sended), I think that you can find something in this forum... |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
It's not important. I don't really need it.
Two things i remembered: in mc (inside xterm) it popped up everytime I clicked into mc, despite the hwkb being open. And in microB it popped up whenever i tapped into an edit box, despite hwkb being open: Code:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
hi there. sorry if this has already been solved but when the vkb is in the alphanumeric portrait mode, the 'tuv' key doesn't write the letter 't'.
any solution? thx |

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
Hello.
Finaly a portrait-onscreen-keyboard that starts to look like something and works where I need it. Thanks. On feature I would like you to add (if its posible), vkb should not open in landscape, only on portrait. I find it pointless with a Onscreen-Keyboard in landscape since you got the hardware-keyboard. Dont know if thats possible. And one annoing thing is the rotation from portrait to landscape and back to portrait when using vbk in microB. I hope that gets fixed. And again thax for you work. Donated a few euros. Confirmation number: 0B646350GB7133931 |
