Keyboard Layout Development Howto (Request for Wiki) #302

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
i'm not familar with java development. so i guess it would be a good thing
to write an howto (an tutorial) that shows code samples how to create own
keyboard layouts. 

topics shall include: 
* create alphabetic or numeric keyboard template
* define key alignment
* map chars to keys
* map uppercase chars
* implement long-keypress popups
* implement double-tap behavior
* implement swish-gestures for single keys
* implement modifier keys (shiftlock, numlock, and custom modifier keys)
* implement screen-size behavior (different layouts based on screen-size
and -alignment)

i guess such a document will boost keyboard layout development. at least i
(a non-java-developer) had a place to start with.

I would like this too! I want to create my own keyboard with the characters I 
want to show up after a long press.
Also to change the position of some keys (or swap between others).
