Changing input character on N900 #20

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
At the moment, there is no direct way to change input character on N900. It 
would be great if Shift + alphabet will change the mode to Katakana or Alphabet 
temporary. Or will see such key(s) on virtual keyboard.

Any ideas?

In OSX:
watasiwaJohn
desu. =　わたしわジョんです。

Take note of:
- the capital J
- the newline keypress

That is the desired functionality I would like to see in QIMSYS.

More Info
---------

Also, I thought on the n900:
shift 2x = caps lock
function 2x = function lock
However, I couldn't replicate this just now. Maybe it is useful.
Perhaps there could be another kind of lock:
caps lock + function lock = multi lock.

The point of this is that every kind of lock gives you an extra keyboard of 
characters available for direct input.

NOTE: AFAIK, OSX does not make use of caps lock or num lock or other locks with 
"input character" Hiragana and "input style" Romaji.

I agree that there should be a direct way to toggle JPN and ENG input on the VK.

As for Katakana input, is there any difference between DeSu and DESU?

Could you open another issue for lock? I don't want to mix them here.

Fixed in the commit

Not tested on N900 though.

Feel free to re-open this issue if you found any problem.

On OSX:
desu = です
Desu = デす
dEsu = デす
DEsu = デす
deSu = でス
DeSu = デス
dESu = デス
DESu = デス
desU = でス
DesU = デス
dEsU = デス
DEsU = デス
deSU = でス
DeSU = デス
dESU = デス
DESU = デス

So basically on OSX if ANY part of the romanized kana character is uppercase 
the corresponding kana character changes to katakana.

NOTE: OSX acts like caps lock is always off in hiragana entry mode (even if the 
led is on). 

On the n900 I am not sure what implementation would require less keystrokes or 
be easier to type.

Otherwise maybe control shift or another hot key could cycle through:
1. Romaji
2. Hiragana/Kanji
3. Katakana

Thanks for letting me know. I decided to change characters to Katakana when its 
first character is uppercase for some performance reason. Let's see if that is 
acceptable.
