czech keyboard contains many wrong optional letters [answered]
seems the keyboard is a an overall slavic or whatever. many letters just do not exist in czech. i.e. ßśş etc. i am willed to enlist all wrong ones, if someone would fix that i understand that this is low prio, but lot people take their language serious
most of them i have never seen before. and they just slow me down during typing, cause in czech you need the 'czech' optional letters in almost every second word, which is not the case in german or english.
so this is a request to remove some of them
i did find the accelerator key's to switch to the important optional ones like š,č,ř,ž .. (see my answer)
Try contacting the author directly. Who authored the keyboard?, tmi?, penguin?, nodevel?, most of these guys can be found at talk.maemo.org (another great resource for Jolla/N9/N900/N950), or at Openrepos.
Spam Hunter ( 2015-05-17 13:17:33 +0300 )editI do not see this as a bug at all, and could argue that any keyboard with strictly limited letters would be more of a problem. I would understand the need to remove foreign letters were they in the seen layout. But when those letters are behind a long press, I think it as a feature, not a bug.
tmi ( 2015-05-17 16:40:37 +0300 )editPeople surely use foreign words and write in other language(s) despite the keyboard layout they are using. And I, for one,
welcome our new insect overlordswouldn't want to change the layout everytime if/when I need to write in some other language than the current keyboard is (supposedly) made for.What comes to the Czech keyboard with the fixed dead key in OpenRepos, it is layoutwise by Jolla. Unfortunately, I have no plans of doing any more modifications to it as the keyboard is meant to be a temporary fix, anyway.
i am not using a open repos patch. i expect it s the std jolla keyboard if it s a feature, then why are those letters not there on the german or english keyboard ? ;-) bug or feature discussions hmmm
pawel ( 2015-05-18 22:14:03 +0300 )editThe English keyboard does indeed have more letters -including the Eszett (ß)- available than is necessary to write strictly in English. (The fact they might not be 100% the same extra letters than in the Czech layout is beside the point.)
tmi ( 2015-05-18 23:47:23 +0300 )editExtra letters to use in any keyboard outside the visible layout is a feature, and a helpful one.
Luckily, the Sailfish keyboards are malleable so it should be quite easy for yourself to remove any letters you deem "wrong" in the keyboard of your choosing: https://together.jolla.com/question/21510/howto-adapt-sailfish-virtual-keyboard-vkb-layout/
