multitap (9-key) keyboard layout for N9
 
I made a multitap keyboard (like that found on symbian in portrait mode) for maliit. You can find it in mesinput with id 219060. You can also modify it freely for your language and submit it again.

One or two things I didn't find how to do were the following
1. Extended labels for keys with the cycleset attribute. (I would like to have the option to show the number on longpress)
2. Multiple character extended labels. You will notice the smiley button does not work as intended when you longpress it.
3. Autocapitalization is buggy with multitap so I had to turn it off. (Also the shift key needs to be depressed to write any other letter than the forst one of a set, because it deactivates after the first click. This also seems a bug of maliit. I will see if I can report it somewhere.

Hm, code example? That said, we never tried combining those two.

You can use spaces and newlines in extended labels attribute. "two words" will have two extra buttons, "two" and "words". newline needs to be encoded as XML entity though. I am probably biased because I implemented those features, but I like'em ;-)

Code:
<binding label="pqrs" cycleset="pqrs7" action="cycle" extended_labels="7"/>
What I want to do is key pqrs to cycle p,q,r,s,7 and when you longpress it to show a bubble with only 7 in it.

Code:
<binding label=":)" extended_labels=":D :P"/>
If I undestand it correctly this should work as expected but it does not

(it outputs 5 buttons -> :, D, space, :,P instead of the intended two :D and :P)

Definitely works as expected in master, no idea when it'll arrive on N9 though.

That is cool, and it means we just have to wait. Anyway. any insights on the other issue? Bubbles on cycleset keys?

Sorry, I'm too busy for that. You can easily try it though, and it's harmless. If you remove it there is no junk remaining in the phone.
