Could you try with the latest beta build of Keyman Developer (refer to https://keyman.com/downloads/pre-release/) and tell us if the same behavior occurs?
I'm not aware of any recent changes in this regard, but I do not experience the behavior you describe here when using our latest beta
build - for me, it acts according to what you've requested here. If it acts differently for you, we probably have a bug somewhere.
I just upgraded to 17.0.305-beta.
I am still seeing the same behavior I saw in production and which I described in my two examples.
Something I mentioned in the video but which I forgot to write here is that it would also be nice if upon startup KD could remember the View Controls, Platform, and Layer choices I had when I last closed KD.
I tested this behavior by creating a new project in 17.0.305-beta and importing the Latin American keyboard. Then in Touch Layout I selected "Template..." and then the option, "template-latin.keyman-touch-layout". I selected View Control to be "iPad (portrait) and then Layer to be "Symbol." I then saved the project. When I restarted KD, it was back to landscape and the default layer.
Thanks @alex-larkin we'll look at improving this in 18.0. Some of the controls you are asking for may not be possible in all cases, e.g. platforms may not have identical layers. But where possible, we should try and maintain those, yes.
Thanks Marc! Also, I just noticed that adding a new layer also causes a switch from portrait to landscape.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Thank you for developing this amazing tool! I have a slight feature request.
When in Touch Layout, editing either View Controls, Platform, or Later Option is changed, oftentimes doing so will cause the other options to change as well.
For example:
Another example:
I explain this in this video:

Thank you for considering this improvement.
Describe the solution you'd like
My feature request would be that changing any one of those options wouldn't cause the other options to change as well.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Perhaps some people would prefer the current functionality.
