I didn't realize that ToR had already come that far in development. Looks like I'll be pestering you on that instead from now on.
With the SMS reply entry, yeah, it scrolls to the bottom of the last message just fine. The thing I tried to mention earlier, and I'm sure my wording was off on this, is that when you tap on the text entry location to start typing, the hildon keyboard covers the area.
Like when you type something in the MicroB or Tear browser, if the text area is below the hildon keyboard, it shifts the page up for you to see.
With DC, the hildon keyboard just folds over that area and I always have to scroll down to the very end, so that when I start typing, the text is at the top of the screen and not underneath the keyboard.
I was hoping that this would be a simple, single line of code for you to do. If it's more than that, consider this a very low priority request.
I think why you had me confused earlier is because I could have sworn I've called you Eric before in some of my old SMS texts I sent you and you never bothered to yell at me for that.
Anyway, I'll look into hacking the matchbox keyboard. It's very weird how the layout, geometry and key symbols were compiled to make it work, using multiple files for it.
Getting a finger friendly keyboard like the Iphone is something I've wanted for awhile now.
It would be perfect for DC so maybe I can make something of it and let you know.
Either 8 or 10 buttons per row is exactly divisible for a 480 width screen.
I think that 6 rows for 8 columns or 5 rows for 10 columns would fit well on the screen.
So yeah, I'll see if this is something possible to do since I doubt you would enjoy making your own keyboard for DC from scratch, kind of like how the guy who made Xword did for his crossword puzzle port.
