[Announce] portrait-keyboard: Portrait-friendly system-wide keyboard
2 Attachment(s)
Hi all,
This is an early, crazy, work-in-progress announcement regarding a portrait keyboard for Maemo5 that frals and I are working on in our copious free time. See screenshots below for fun. Since people keep pointing this out, I'm moving it up here and emphasising it: Worth noting that this is originally written by Nokia, from one of the hildon-input-method examples. We did not write this from scratch. It is now available from extras-devel, package name is 'portrait-keyboard'. Known caveats:
Possible future directions (but this is by no means going to happen overnight, these are all quite difficult - feel free to pitch in and help):
If you're interested in contributing, talk to frals or myself (w00t / w00t_) on #maemo, and see http://gitorious.org/hildon-portrait-keyboard. Much thanks to Stskeeps and yerga for sending me in the right direction with getting it working, and awesome kudos to frals for getting this in a releasable state. |

Hehey I think a lot of people in here are eagerly awaiting what you come up with.
Just a further/clarifying question, though: so are there plans for a mini-QWERTY keyboard? |

So far, all we've done is package it for Maemo5. (Though hopefully we'll add more bits to it as I mentioned :)) |

I will have a look.
I am thinking about gestures (like hit a char, slide up, get the uppercase version, and viceversa; slide left -> delete; slide right -> TAB and so on) |
