To change from devel into testing branch, as root (devel-su), do:

Lock orientation to landscape while hwkbd slide is open

This is possible by using Adam Piggs Taskswitcher app, available at openrepos.net.

• The app creates a new settings item called Taskswitcher.
• Set primary keyboard to "Fxtec Pro1", secondary to gpio-keys.
• Activate "Lock Orientation on Slide"
• Set Orientation to landscape
• Activate "Start Taskswitcher on bootup"
• restart (Stop/Start) Daemon

Fingerprint hints

• Make sure you are on >=3.3.0.16
• If you have problems loosing fingerprints after reboot, or if they do not work after first unlock you may have to flash your persist partition. See the Issue on github for Details
• Volume Down + Power --> fastboot flash persist /path/to/persist.img

For Bulgarian Phonetic layout, add this to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fxtec_vndr/pro1 as root:

default  partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "bgpho" {
    include "bg(phonetic)"

    name[Group1]="Fxtec Pro1 Bulgarian Phonetic";

    key <AD10>  { [ Cyrillic_pe,    Cyrillic_PE,      slash,      slash ] };
    key <AC09>  { [ Cyrillic_el,    Cyrillic_EL,   question,   question ] };

    include "level3(ralt_switch)"
};

Then issue these commands as nemo user:

dconf write /desktop/lipstick-jolla-home/layout \"fxtec_vndr/pro1\(us\),fxtec_vndr/pro1\(bgpho\)\"
dconf write /desktop/lipstick-jolla-home/options \"grp:alt_space_toggle\"
dconf write /desktop/lipstick-jolla-home/model "'fxtecpro1'"

Restart lipstick with systemctl --user restart lipstick.

In order to be able to return to US layout with Alt+Space, you need to also edit /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/bg and remove the SPCE remapping in the phonetic section. Looks like this:

key <SPCE> {   [ space,             space,
                 nobreakspace,      nobreakspace        ]    };

Comment it out like this:

// key <SPCE> {   [ space,             space,
//                  nobreakspace,      nobreakspace        ]    };

I think lipstick restart is not needed afterwards.
