Couldn't someone provide an alternative virtual keyboard on the N900.
On my old phone there was one with gestures, for exampel swipe left for backspace, swipe right for space. swipe down for return.
Or T9-keyboard in portrait.


I really miss that.

I'm thinking about crafting something together similar to 'dayhand input' for symbian - it has these kinds of features.

That said, I haven't found any alternatives as yet, so it's looking like one of those 'scratch an itch' kind of things.

Here's an actual hildon-input-method portrait virtual keyboard running in Maemo 5 on an n900. It was invoked and it rotated while browsing with microb. Thanks to Stskeeps and others. More details over the next few days.

Care to share any details to avoid duplication of work? Tried to PM you but you have disabled that feature.

We're using the same code base I think. I have no effort to share 'cause I haven't changed anything, I've just managed to get those examples to appear. I can share that? I've attached some files just because.

frals, you're the man! Go get 'em, baby!

Code:
sudo cp <where ever you compiled or put them>/hildon-im-*.so /usr/lib/hildon-input-method
sudo hildon-im-recache
sudo gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/osso/inputmethod/default-plugins/finger "hildon_im_onehand_fkb"
sudo gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/osso/inputmethod/default-plugins/stylus "hildon_im_onehand_fkb"
sudo killall hildon-input-method
Attached Files
File Type: deb hildon-input-method-plugins-example_2.0.0-1-mer1_armel.deb (22.8 KB, 81 views)
File Type: gz vkb.tar.gz (471.1 KB, 74 views)

Wow. That's nifty.

Is this invoked while in portrait mode only or in both?

The rotation is automatic depending on the main window orientation change. Even though I didn't post a landscape screenshot, I believe this particular example is configurable for both right and left handers.

Alright, as far as me and w00t has gotten as well then (except we did fix the packaging bits so it would build in sb and produce a nice .deb )
