maemo.org - Talk - New garage project: Autotext hildon-input-method

Hi all,

I just opened a new garage project for autotext feature for maemo.

The functionality is to auto-replace words while writing IM.
For example:
" xD "=" I LOVE YOU "
" addsign "=" Firstname LastName "
" myaddress "=" 52a Street, 1234 STATE "
" bb "=" Bye Bye "
" ttyl "=" Talk to you later "
" clme "=" Call me "
etc.

Implementation:
Alter the hildon-input-method package to remember the last written characters written.
Search in given dictionary, if found, replace the word.

I would really appreciate if any of you could help with this project.
I am not familiar with this package, and will really appreciate anyone who could help me figure out where can I catch the pressed key in the hildon-input-method.

You are more than welcome to join and help making IM writing a lot easier and faster.

Will upload the hildon-input-method sources soon.

Thanks

NBD
