Hello,

I have the last Sailfish OS version.

I want to write some numbers on xls file. Only numbers not letters.
And without wasting time. I need to take a lot of counters. Each counter has 6 numbers.
For exemple: 701562

Is it possible to add ONLY a virtual numeric keyboard for sailfish?
I don't need qwerty or azerty virtual keyboard.

Like this one for exemple:

Where can i download it? rpm file (or) manually qml and conf files.
How to install it? (add it to my sailfish layout)

If anybody have some exemple i will install them on my Jolla.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

I whipped up this.

It's pretty quick but might just do the trick. Maybe useful only in portrait. Landscape works but the keyboard covers most of the screen.

After first install, remember to activate "Numeric" in Settings -> Text input -> Keyboards.

Change keyboards with holding Space as usual. The dot should change according to device language/locale. Copy/paste should also work.

That's where it gets tricky. Last time I looked, the SFOS keyboard "support" for Tab presses was quite non-existant. A Tab press can be generated but I've yet to see it do anything.
(But I'm happily wrong if somebody knows better.)

Would Right Arrow work for you?

IIRC, the arrows don't work with Android apps (as I don't use Alien-Dalvik I don't really know). Would it be too much to ask for you to install any 'arrow keyboard' (or 'with arrows') from OpenRepos and test whether the arrows work the way you want them to in Office Suite Pro for Android?
If they do, I can add all 4 arrows as an additional top row (which will make this keyboard totally useless in landscape but it wasn't very practical as such in the first place).

Seconded. This is yet another instance of a 6 years old device beating a "modern" one.
