pr1.2 vkb: usable layouts available?
 

whichever genius created the new virtual keyboard layout, obviously never had to use it him-/herself: a bunch of characters is missing, and even the backspace key.

thus: are there actually _usable_ layouts available?
the 1.1.1 layouts weren't exactly the most thorougly designed, but they were far superior to the joke pr1.2 offers now.

in which keyboard layout do you have missing backspace key?

Re: pr1.2 vkb: usable layouts available?
 

I hope somebody will eventually come up with a clean package that will provide the original onscreen-keyboard as an additional input method. It had many characters, large keys, had a better "feeling" and, above all, provided clever gestures that really helped me to type faster.

I simply guess the guy who designed the recent versions of the onscreen keyboard is a sadist.

using the original nokia theme will get u back the buttons, if u change (eg iivilsteel themes) the layout will be messed

@rmoravcik:
the one i get for im or in microb.
apprently, the key is there -- you have to literally stab in the dark (or rather gray), since the symbol is not displayed, neither for space or shift.

@kaze.daniel:
looks, like the maemo theme (which i am using) needs updating.

You should try the an-droid theme. D-Livil built it with pr 1.2 in mind so the VKB is superb

Finally! After 1 hour of serching this forum I now have a sollution to the missing buttons on my VKB...*sigh*

Thnx the tip!

P.S.: "wazd" the creator of Theme Marina is working on a fix for this prob.

could be worth trying.

i am still looking for a slim theme anyway, with small fonts and icons (since nokia in its infinite wisdom has chosen not to include a normal way to configure that as user -- sometimes i really wonder, why they didn't use windows, would be as unflexible and unfriendly like what the did to linux).

is there a site where all those themes are visible? i am not going to check every single one out by installing -- most i've seen so far are rather depressing anyway.

dont install the hildon-input-method-plugins-scim ... for now, installing it will make u get no VKB at all... it will be totally messed, everything will disapear and uninstalling it seems not solving the problem...
