Keyboard number row

asked 2019-11-04 19:12:19 +0200

Hi all,

Is there an option to toggle an additional number row in the default sailfish keyboard (on XA2)?

Didn't find anything in the settings, nor a patch or an app in openrepos.

Can this be done manually, or maybe Jolla can add it in a future release?

Well, I followed this vkb guide, and just created my own version of the keyboard with a row key. Files available on this github repo.

But basically, only this code needs to be added for an additional number row :

KeyboardRow {
        CharacterKey { caption: "1"; captionShifted: "1";}
        CharacterKey { caption: "2"; captionShifted: "2" }
        CharacterKey { caption: "3"; captionShifted: "3" }
        CharacterKey { caption: "4"; captionShifted: "4" }
        CharacterKey { caption: "5"; captionShifted: "5" }
        CharacterKey { caption: "6"; captionShifted: "6" }
        CharacterKey { caption: "7"; captionShifted: "7" }
        CharacterKey { caption: "8"; captionShifted: "8" }
        CharacterKey { caption: "9"; captionShifted: "9" }
        CharacterKey { caption: "0"; captionShifted: "0" }
    }

Yes, an option to toggle the number row, build in Sailfish OS, would be nice.

Hi, to follow up on my solution, I packaged the French and English keyboard layouts with a number row (and an English AZERTY layout), into an app/rpm on openrepos.

Therefore you can download the new layouts just from my openrepos app page, or through Storeman.
