Some notes:
* Number of rows is not fixed at four. It can be less, or more, and the keys will be resized accordingly.
* Current layout is a bit different - there is no "special keys" key, it is replaced by "shift-lock".

How interchangeable is this with the matchbox-keyboard layouts? The XML looks very similar.

Just checking, we're supposed to use HTML codes for accents right?
If so, can we use both html entities and Ascii?

All times are GMT. The time now is 17:12.
Basically, we've found that him-arabic (the input method for arabic) is actually a keyboard layout engine (it reads from XML), and we would like to ask -you- to help contribute keyboard layouts so we can have full support for your preferred layouts.
The layouts are XML files (UTF-8) and very simple. An example of Arabic can be seen here with the graphical version seen here. The example of english layout can be found here
Basic structure:
* <him-arabic>
** <layout mode="0"> (0 meaning shift not pressed, 1 means shift pressed)
*** <row> repeat these elements per row you want
**** <key name="character" expand="1 if it should expand and fill - look at the space button in the image, 0 otherwise" />
**** Add as many keys as needed in the row
*** </row>
** <layout>
** Make both a shift not pressed and shift pressed layout.
* </him-arabic>
We currently have:
Arabic
English
Hebrew
German (by thp)
Finnish/Swedish/Norwegian (by Meizirkki)
Russian (by 412b)
French (by fredoll)
Portuguese-speaking countries (Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, etc.) (by Bobbe)
Italian (by debernardis)
Persian/Farsi (by Claudius)
- will update list as new layouts come in.
When posting please do it in the following manner:
* Attach the .xml file to the post
* Acknowledge that the layout is licensed GPLv2 or later, and write what name you would like to be acknowledged with in AUTHORS
* Indicate which keyboard layout it is
* Any comments related to the layout.
If anyone wants to help extend him-arabic (it's c++) to make it a more generic keyboard engine, come talk to us in #mer on irc.freenode.net
Thanks in advance!
