Custom virtual keyboards #454

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Please add the ability to create custom virtual keyboards (e.g. - so developers 
can use the Google 
apis to create their own keyboard mappings when either a specific language 
isn't yet supported 
for the Google virtual keyboards or a developer wants to use an alternative 
keyboard mapping.).

I think this would be really useful as it would allow 3rd party developers to 
create their own keyboard layouts 
(e.g. - klingon, swahili, yiddish, etc) regardless of how large the specific 
language community is for that 
language.

Google might choose to provide a page on their api website pointing to 
(unsupported by Google) 3rd party 
keyboard layouts.

Added labels: APIType-Language

One variation  of interest would be to have alphabetic order of chars. Also  
inscript keyboard is required for   Telugu and other indian languages. 
Currently it is only available for Hindi.  Please  provide inscript keyboards 
for Telugu and other languages or allow crowd sourcing of the map file. For a 
small application  which makes use of onscreen keyboards to search wiki sites 
in Indian languages from public access kiosks, see http://gyanpad.appspot.com

I would like support for tamil99, an intuitive and scientifically-designed 
layout for Tamil. It requires the least amount of keystrokes to type Tamil text 
and has been endorsed by the Government of Tamil Nadu.

arjunaraoc: The information about INSCRIPT keyboard on 
http://www.tdil.mit.gov.in/isciichart.pdf is not very good. we are looking at 
http://javadesktop.org/articles/InputMethod/indicmapping.html
http://javadesktop.org/articles/InputMethod/indiclayout.html
for reference now. Do you think the information on that two page is good?

Reply to Comment5. Yes the reference cited are fine for Inscript. Since Hindi 
inscript is already implemented, it should be pretty easy to add support for 
other languages.
