Better if you create your own "custom_hr.conf" file and system layouts.conf does not need to be changed. Less room for errors and less broken pieces after system update.

SPEC file of a single custom keyboard layout as requested:
and content of source tarball for above SPEC file:
I will still clean up my scripts before I will post all into Github.
Schturman: You could change your keyboard RPM's so that those do not overwrite any system files. You've wrote that those return original files when uninstalled, but that actually is real issue with them if system has been updated meanwhile and rpm uninstall will replace files updated by system update with files from earlier sailfish release.
Silwer: I will check that if there was some issue why I skipped Estonian keyboard.
Generally I would say that this is excelled work and you who have contribited to these keyboards have earned the recognitition what Jolla spokes man gave this morning "Great work!".
However one thing I would like to comment regarding many of virtual keyboards. When you take that English or any other keyboard layout QML file as basis, please be brave and add more keys on the keyboard rows if your national keyboard insists that. Maxium of 12 keys can be put on single row and keyboard still remains usable, so you do not have to stick in the number of keys on English keyboard.

EDIT:igor_b: Is there difference in Slovenian and Croatian keyboard layouts except language code? I compared your Croation keyboard to what generally has been documented as "Hrvatska Tipkovnica" in Wikipedia (QWERTZ and Hrvatska nacionalna tastatura) and another virtual keyboard I found. This national keyboard is different of course but how about qwertz?

EDIT:
Have you solved this issue or is there any issue still?
I used this keyboard only for a short period of time with last Sailfish OS version. After upgrading to newer OS version, keyboard arrows stopped working as during the upgrade part of the keyboard files were overwritten. I am using currently original Finnish keyboard. It is pretty close to Estonian one, however, sometimes I still miss the arrows I had in the custom Estonian keyboard.

). That other (national) layout is something I've never seen before and I'm using Croatian keyboards for almost twenty years

Ok, I copied existing Slovenian layout to be as Croatian layout and created own RPM for that. Any improvenets are welcome as you are the ones using those layouts not me and you know what works best.

Penguin - Could you also make Estonian keyboard rpm? http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=80
Thanks!
If someone has feasible solution to the arrow keys without modifying systems InputHandler.qml, please point it out so it could be adapted in custom keyboards.

Would this be better croatian layout with direct keys "ć" and "đ" and "š", "č" and "ž" hidden behind accented keys.
I was also thinking to implement this http://www.branah.com/croatian as such, but it does not fit as is to portrait mode vkb and I am afraid people would feel even 12 keys on row too tight, although IMO it could be usable.

- any typing without being very still is quite a challenge.I personally don't think any of those characters should be on direct keys. Putting it all on accented keys is the way Android and iOS are doing it and it works well.
