Is it somehow possible to add extra characters to on-screen keyboard of FouchFlo 3D? When you press and hold a button, list of extra characters pop up, but it does not contain characters specific to my language.
I am hoping that there is a configuration file somewhere or maybe some registry entrie. Wouldn't make sense to hard-code these characters.
Unfortunately HTC support was of no help. It's a pity that there is a specific version of Diamond 2 for Eastern Europe, but E-European languages are not supported.
Bumping in hope that somebody could help...
You may want to give some other 3rd party keyboards a try..there's a really great one I'm drawing a blank on, but search around a bit and you will find it.
Dear fellow XDA-Members,
is it possible to develop an application that enables the common user to fully costumize the layout for Swype?
I've noticed that there are features of the HTC keyboard I do not want to live without, i.e. the direction arrows on the bottom of the keyboard, which lets you easily navigate through your composition. SlideIT - which I bought but couldn't use long enough to amortize the expenses - gives you a good touch feeling, but misses the long-button-press symbols I need to write in German and in Turkish (Ä,Ö,Ü, ß, ı ç ğ ş etc.); Swype offers a very comprehensive sliding input, but the long-button-press chars almost made me throw my device against the next solid thing nearby... (I would never do that, I love my baby!)
I wonder if someone could spend time to develop an application that lets you modify the layout. Well, I dunno if I comply to the rules when I offer the substantial amount of 25 Euro-bucks for the development.
Any responses are welcome and highly appreciated.
Anyone out there?
Hello XDA Developers,
I just giving an idea here for any devs interested.
Why not making a android keyboard that have this functions.
1) I think letter placement customization is cool and i don't know there are other keyboard that let the user customize the placement of the letters [if there is, please point out to me because there are many keyboard apps in Play Store and i don't manage to try them all].
2) Theme is not very important from my point of view, make the keyboard look fancy with glossy color is ok. maybe let the user customize the color of the keyboard buttons also nice since the users do not need any theme.
3) Phone keyboard and QWERTY keyboard function. For most people with large screen does not has problems with QWERTY keyboard but for small screen devices there are. There are only some keyboard that gives Phone keyboard functionality and I love Phone keyboard because I love to message single handed.
Well, and also other things that many functions included in other keyboards in Play Store like swipe, dictionary, etc. etc. etc....
If anyone wants to add something here in this thread, feel free.
Hi Everyone!
I use a Lenovo Yoga tablet, and struggled for a while with the keyboards made for smartphones. Every time I had to write a character with an accent (éáóúöüőűí) I had to hold the key, and wait for the alternative characters to appear. They didn't really help with coding either, so I tried the Hacker's Keyboard. It was quite good, but if we can have the whole PC keyboard on screen with all the modifier buttons, why not use its potential and add hotkeys? This is how Clavis Keyboard was born.
Clavis Keyboard is a PC-like keyboard for tablets, with numerous hotkeys.
Features:
-Familiar: The keys are where you'd expect them to be
-Well-known hotkeys: Copy-paste-cut and select all work like on PC
-New hotkeys: Search for selected text on Google (Ctrl+G)
Open a new e-mail, paste selected text (Ctrl+M)
Insert text macro 0-9 (Ctrl+Shift+Number)
Change the first letter of the last word before the cursor from lowercase to uppercase or back (Ctrl+I)
Home (Ctrl+Left arrow)
End (Ctrl+Right arrow)
-Themes: There are numerous themes already, but I'm planning on adding much more.
-Layouts: US, GB, DE, FR, IT, BE, HU
I welcome any questions, advices, requests and ideas regarding Clavis!

Please fix, "Caps Lock, on/off". The letters doesn't change.

This looks really good, and I'm excited to test it a bit more when I get the chance. I did notice a few things:
I'm on Lollipop (CM12.1, on a Nook HD+), and the initial setup was a bit of a pain. After enabling the keyboard, step 1 of 3, nothing happened. I had to back out of the settings and manually progress to the next steps (selecting the keyboard to use). Not sure where the issue lies, but other keyboards have set up properly.
Settings -> Language & Input -> tapping Clavis Keyboard Free (to open Options) gives an error: "Failed to open settings for Clavis Keyboard Free"
Behavior settings have untranslated group headings, and one option ("Gyors pont Pontot ir ha duplan koppintasz a szokozre")

Thanks for the feedback!
The setup is new and actually worked when I made it, but it seems I managed to mess up the code just before release
I'll patch these very soon.
Its me again, been using it a bit more and i do like it, especially that you can adjust the height on screen. Have a bug, a question, and a suggestion.
auto uppercase doesnt seem to be working, from the start of text entry and also after a period. ive tried disabling and reenabling it, and still no go.
Is auto correct disabled, or just not implemented?
Can you add an option to adjust the key repeat delay?
Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Hi, does it have polish letters?
like the keyboard, and I tried on phone, but it is too small, in my opinion. can you optimize for phone as well
Yeah thanks a lot, and thanks for IT Layout!

Autocorrect is not yet implemented. First I want to fix the known bugs, but I will definitely include it later on
I'll take a look, and will tell you what I could do about the key repeat delay and the auto uppercase.

Sadly not yet. I plan to add the spanish and the portugese layouts next, and then hopefully the polish. Problem is, I got no friends who could translate the scripts for me, so it'll certainly take some time :/

Well I made it especially for tablets, but you can try to increase the height and use it in landscape. Maybe later on I'll come up with something to make it more comfortable, but right now it's not my primary goal. Sorry
testing the new keyboard. doesnt seem to have any auto correct?
May I help in adding Hebrew characters layout?
If so, how?
Here's how a standard Hebrew keyboard looks like:
http://store.aramedia.com/shopimages/products/normal/kb-hebrewwhite.jpg
Do note, that since Hebrew is a right-to-left language (like Arabic), it has weird behavior on some keyboards, like putting "(" instead of ")" . I really hate it, and would be happy to have the option to disable this behavior (it even happens on Windows OS , but somehow only on some apps).
Since Hebrew doesn't have uppercase letters, when pressing SHIFT or CAPS-LOCK, it just writes in English. However, on Android, those keys are gone, and you can long click on any key to have the alternative being written on it.
Attached how it looks like on various Android keyboards apps.
Please, make a pt-br layout... You idea is great
Good idea! Great keyboard.

Thanks for your offer!
Hebrew keyboard seems interesting, so I'll gladly make it after the planned layouts.

Thanks. I don't know how much effort does it need as I'm really busy right now, but maybe I could help you a bit... However I have no knowledge in programming coding or development....

You wouldn't have to code or anything, just translate a few lines from English to Polish.
By the way I've just finished the Polish layout. It will be included in the next version (without translation for now).
Hello XDA,
I'm Vlad Todosin (aka Vlath) and maybe some of you know me for the development of the open-source browser BeHe ExploreR. Today I'm introducing to you a new open-source app, but this time a keyboard. I've tried many of the keyboards with special keys available on the market, but all of them have a downside (at least from my point of view) and that's the design and the ease of use. This is what inspired me to create BeHe Keyboard. This keyboard features three different keyboard faces (normal QWERTY, a D-PAD with special keys and a programming face). All of this faces can be changed with a touch of a button, this is what makes it easy to use as a default keyboard, without the need to switch between input methods when you want to do something new. Also, the arrow keys from the D-PAD face can be useful at regular typing.
So, with that being said, I'd let the app speak for itself. Remember, this is just the first version, more updates to come. I love to hear from you, so if you have any feature request, just post it here.
Also, BeHe Keyboard is open-source, so if you think that it's spying, go check the source, and you'll see it's NOT.
Contributors are welcome. BeHe Keyboard can be easily built with Android Studio, unlike the other open-source keyboards that are hard to build. My goal was to create a keyboard app that's useful and also easy to modify.

CHECK THE SOURCE CODE ON GITHUB: [url]https://github.com/VladThodo/behe-keyboard[/URL]
CHANGELOG FOR VERSION 1.0.1b:
- Fixed shift key bug. The double tap on the shift key was not working properly (was not setting locked caps). With this update, the bug is fixed.
Enjoy!

Thanks for spamming on my thread. Unfortunately for you, I really don't care. Your post is going to be reported. By the way, for all those interested, this message was written with BeHe Keyboard
Sounds interesting. Will try it out, Vlath!

Hi @Vlath Behe Keyboard looks very nice, although i think this some improvements.
Just some details and feature request.
* The keyboard don't show variants from some leters, work's with A (Á, etc), but not for N (ñ) by example.
* Check how looks for me the default Android Keyboard..
http://i.imgur.com/nh9Rkws.png
.. and so looks current Behe Keyboard
http://i.imgur.com/9OcNMRo.png
I like this uses less screen space than Android Keyboard, that is nice. but..
add some details like number upper letters, check Android Keyboard have Q(1) W(2) E(3) R(4) T(5) Y(6) U(7) I(8) O(9) P(0)
* add a bit more of design, is a bit "confusing" just view letters on a black space, make some dark gray buttons borders or something. again, compare with Android Keyboard
* I know this keyboard is specially for programming, but..
(check again the images) while Android Keyboard is moving a bit the screen, Behe Keybord is making the input text space an full text box.
I think this is wrong, or at least must be as an option.
Regards
any plans to release on f-droid store?
Nice work ... But i miss functions from hackers keyboard.... You can look at in play store. Anyway awesome job keep developing . I'll keep it as a second keyboard :good:
Just some pictures for some ideas
Sent from my SM-A300FU using XDA Labs
@Vlath
Check out GitHub, I've added a translation to Portuguese (BR)
Some arrays are unstranslatable, if you're not using them as keys inside the app, I'd like to translate them too.
I love the keyboard, two suggestions. A vibrate on tap option, and key borders. I have huge thumbs so my accuracy is a little off.
Good! But more languages is better And more theme too
Impressive, I've been wanting something similar and with low ram usage. Problems I've encountered: When holding i button it makes the keyboard unpressable, sometimes keys get struck writing same letter forever. Also I would like to have more letter variants. (e.g. Ö)

I miss that too.
Also some vibration as option would be great. Other then that I really like your keyboard, thanks for it and I hope you will post it on F-Droid also.
