Actually, I use landscape virtual keyboard when I've gloves.

That's why I prefer make my vkb layout.

There are still some bug in my layout :
* Shift and backspace in landscape have a bug of texture, because they are larger than in the original layout.
* With lower case, I've made a slide for accented letters. If there is not a char from a slide before, it prints the first letter (in my slide, a "é"), and after the selected char. But if before there is a char from a slide, there is no problem.
For example, if I want to write "mčtre", because of this bug, I'll write "méčtre" ("é" is the first char of the slide).
This bug happens with all alpha slide.

Now, some pictures and explanations :
Launched in landscape mode :


Launched in portait mode :


If the virtual keyboard is launch in lanscape, and then the smartphone is used in portrait, there will be the same display bug as reported before.

The slide from upper case has ",", "?", and "!" punctuations, the rest are in the symbol layout.

Hope I've not made lot of English faults.
