Hello all I just bought a Jolla for my wife. She often writes in Thai. Therefore she needs a Thai keyboard. As I haven't found a Thai keyboard layout I started creating it on my own.

Now I have different problems with this keyboard layout.

  • As there are much more letters (44 consonants, 12 vowels and some other special signs) than in English and many other languages I want to create an additional KeyboardRow which is not visible in symView. How can I achieve this?
  • There are special signs which cannot stand alone. These are shown as squares. However when writing they are correctly placed to the related consonant (see screenshot below). CharacterKey caption for such a character is: ี Is there a way to display them correctly on the keyboars layout and still work as expected?

Of course I will publish the final keyboard layout onde finieshed.

Best regards,

Tom

Thank you luke for your hint. Yes I have checked this thread. As it is quite long I might have missed something. But I haven't found anything that solved this issue. I also followed some of the links in there for additional information.

Hello Tom. I am thai. I need the thai keyboard for jolla too. I have tried it on my own (HowTo vkb layout) but it doesn't work. I have created the qml + conf file and copied it in the correct folder.
