layout the spacebar row keys? #620

Closed TaokyleYT closed 2 weeks ago

TaokyleYT commented 2 months ago

in the custom layout file it seems that the row including ctrl and spacebar cannot be customized. I have tried to make a row in the custom file with spacebar stuff thinking it can override the original row, resulted in 2 identical rows at the bottom and all other keys compressed onto the left side of the screen. Is there ways to customize the bottom row?

If you are defining your own bottom row, you must specify <keyboard bottom_row="false"... to turn off the automatic one.

JapanYoshi is developing a reference page for the XML; see #614.

The compression to the left side surely reflects an error in your XML. Is each <row> tag matched with a </row>? If this problem persists after you follow my previous advice, please share your XML file; the error should be easy to spot.

just messed up the width value a bit, it there template for bottom row? (width value, height value) I can't find it anywhere

@JapanYoshi, do you know? If so, please include it, as well as where to find QWERTY, in your documentation.

It wouldn't be hard to write a <row> that produces the current bottom line. The space bar has slider="true" so holding it down and moving your finger to the left or right produces precise cursor movement.

However, Julow has recommended that users stay with the built-in bottom row in order to pick up any future enhancements.

No, I don’t know the formula for the default bottom row.

shouldn't this be the default bottom row, which is used without bottom_row="false" in the custom layout?

@alotbsol555, it certainly looks like that's what this file is for.

Is this issue resolved ?
