Customizing keyboard layout
- you can customize your keyboard layout, for instance the default is:
keyboard_layout_1=qwertyuiop\nasdfghjkl'\n\Bzxcvbn m.\n\M \N

\n is to go to the next chars row
\B is the backspace key
\M is the mode key (allow you to cycle between layout1 to 4)
\N is the enter key
Other key are the letter, so for this layout_1 we have:

qwertyuiop
asdfghjkl'
\Bzxcvbnm.
\M \N


that will look like a simple querty keyboard.

For a french keyboard, you can for instance add this (in the settings.ini file):

keyboard_layout_1=azertyuiop\nqsdfghjklm\n\Bwxcvbn '.\n\M \N

keyboard_layout_1=azertyuiop\nqsdfghjklm\n\Bwxcvbn '.\n\M \N


You can define keyboard_layout_1 to keyboard_layout_4 every time the user press the \M key it will go to the next.

Dictionnary suggestion: the SIP will make suggestion based on the key you press. It use dict.txt. Tell me about it.


For instance the settings.ini for azerty layout is:

keyboard_layout_1=azertyuiop\nqsdfghjklm\n.wxcvbn' \B\n\M \N
keyboard_layout_2=AZERTYUIOP\nQSDFGHKJLM\n.WXCVBN' \B\n\M \N
keyboard_layout_3=éèêÃÂ*ôîù789\ nç,:;/()456\n\B&@"-+123\n\M?! =0\N
