Add interpunct and ellipsis to french layout #1128

Closed Raghnarok closed 6 days ago

Language

French

Variant

MessagEase

Kind of request

Changes on an existing layout

More details

Would it be possible to add · and … to the MessagEase (or the ThumbKey) keyboard ? I use it almost everyday and I feel always blocked in my messages by not having it. It could be put on free space or maybe better on drag-on-return on the . key for the … and on the , for the ·.

Thank you for the job. I can maybe help if needed.

I don't maintain the french layouts, so you'll have to ping whoever created them, or add it yourself.

I think I can add them. I’m ok with code edition but I don’t know how I can test my modifications, could you explain it to me?

You'd need to use https://developer.android.com/studio to deploy it either to your device directly, or use one of the images.

MMmmhhh, this seems so complicated to build an android app, I’d need to install a lot of shitty Google stuff or I don’t understand it all… I’m pretty certain that the changes on FRMessagEase.kt (186-198) are :

KeyItemC(
    center = KeyC("s", size = LARGE),
    topLeft =
    KeyC(
        CommitText("f"),
    ),
    top = KeyC("&", color = MUTED),
    topRight = KeyC("°", color = MUTED),
    left = KeyC("#", color = MUTED),
    right = KeyC(">", color = MUTED),
    bottomLeft = KeyC(";", color = MUTED),
    bottom = KeyC("\u0308", displayText = "¨", color = MUTED),
    bottomRight = KeyC("…", color = MUTED),
),

And on lines 48-57 :

KeyItemC(
    center = KeyC("i", size = LARGE),
    left = KeyC("?", color = MUTED),
    bottomLeft =
        KeyC(
            CommitText("x"),
        ),
    topRight = KeyC("·", color = MUTED),
    bottom = KeyC("=", color = MUTED),
    bottomRight = KeyC("€", color = MUTED),
),

Maybe @soupirs, @glm4610 or @gitterrost4 can help me on this?

Seems you're on your own adding these. I'd follow the instructions in contributing.md if you'd like to create your own layout. You could copy-paste one of the existing french ones as a template.

I would volunteer to provide some support to @Raghnarok but I wouldn't want to spam this issue. I haven't found a github feature that allows me to contact you outside this issue though. I am reachable on discord under this username. Maybe I can help you there?

Meh, I had a Discord account but seems it’s not the case… I also don’t want to spam here, could you contact me on raghnarok@vulgarisons.info @gitterrost4 ?

Thank you!
