Error producing single quote character #468

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Making a custom keyboard that uses a straight, single quote “ ' "
(character ASCII code #10).
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
iKeyEx does insert the character, but then jumps back to the main keyboard.
 (My ' is in my Shift-Numbers keyboard.)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system
(iPhone/iPod Touch? Firmware version?)?
iKeyEx 3; iPod Touch 2G; firmware 3.1.2

Please provide any additional information below.
Attaching custom keyboard.

***** Note: If a keyboard does not on 3.0, please install the latest beta
of iKeyEx in http://code.google.com/p/networkpx/downloads/list first.

This is the expected behavior.

I have learned that ACSII 10 is the Esc code, yet it is also the single quote
character.  Therefore, I don't know how this dual use of one code can be 
resolved. 
However, I still want to be able to use the straight single quote character.

Try using "<Esc>" for Esc instead.

I *DO* use <Esc> for Esc.  I want to use a single straight quote for a single
straight quote, NOT for an Esc.  This seems to only work via a variants.plist 
route.

Now I don't understand.
 (1) Your SuperPunct keyboard doesn't have an Esc. 
 (2) Typing ' in the 123-shift plane does produce a '.
 (3) Typing ' will jump back to the ABC plane. This is expected behavior.
 (4) Esc as an ASCII character is 0x1B. 0x10 is a line-break (which is used for the 
Return key). It should never produce a '.

(1) The <Esc> is in a different keyboard of mine.  Both will be released soon.
(2) Yes, my keyboard does produce a straight single quote.
(3) I don't want it to jump (Esc) back to the ABC plane.  If I put the ' on the 
main
<text> plane, it makes the keyboard go away.
(4) I meant hexidecimal/l / Unicode 0010.

Anyway, there apparently is no way to get a straight single quote without the 
Esc
function, other than getting it via a variant long-press.

My 2 new keyboards will be released on miPhone.ca soon.

The <Esc> key *does not* cause the keyboard jumps back to main plane. It closes 
the 
keyboard.

Also the ' jumping back to the main plane from the alt plane is an expected 
behavior to 
match Apple's keyboard behavior.
