With new and improved bendable iPhone. How is the keyboard? Rock solid or slinky flexible?

@dirkvl hope you like it enought to use it

As asked by dirkvl in http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=354 here is a qwerty design with spanish symbols added as told in this post and the inmediate next one http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=352



ñ and acute (for áéíóú) are placed in the same placements as in spanish qwerty keyboards (at right side of "L" and "Ñ" respectively). Umlaut (for ü) is placed in the same place as in azerty layout (in same key as "+" symbol). Opening of interrogation "¿" and exclamation "¡" are added in same key as closing respectives. Catalonian (and french) symbol "ç" and "ª" "º" are added in the free places left ("F", "H" and "J" respectively). No other modifications, so mostly, symbols are placed as in qwerty english keyboards.

This layout would be valid for english and spanish. English users will have more symbols than they need, and spanish ones will have symbols placed in inusual places for them. But, it's a good deal for both.

I wonder the same thing. Visually it'd wouldn't be as clean. But the typing experince would be much closer to a "normal" keyboard.

I don't know about the other scandinavian layouts, but for Swedes. ";:" should switch place with "<>" and some of the other symbols could also be moved around (eg. !/\~-?).

Yes, indeed. For a more compatible layuout with the Scandinavian standard Qwerty layouts, the , (comma) and . (period) and - (hyphen) keys should be immediately on the right-hand side of the M key, and ; (semicolon) and : (colon) and _ (underscore) should be made with Shift + comma and Shift + period and Shift + hyphen, respectively. In order to visually associate the ; and : and _ with the Shift key, the ; and : and _ labels should be painted in white on the , and . keys.

I think that the same modification should be made also to the Qwertz andd Spanish keyboards, in order to make their lyout more consistent with the standard keyboard layout (of your laptop, for wexample).

Is it possible to make these changes to the next revision?
Sorry, I've not followed the debate about the functions of the keys on the right-hand side of the M key.

Your suggestion looks good. I would, however, make the keyboard even more compatible with the standard layout by moving the , (comma), . (period) and - (hyphen) keys immediately to the right-hand side of the lM key. See this comment: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=189 This would affect the place of the question and interrogaion marks, and their inverted variants, but I believe that suitable keys can be found for them.
