Revision history [back]

First of all, thank you Jolla for taking time for translating and including keyboard layouts for some Indian languages including Malayalam in v2.0.2.45.

It looks great for the most part. I just would like to request some change to the Malayalam keyboard layout. May need a supporting font to see the Malayalam letters I am typing in this comment.

1. There are a few Malayalam letters ( ൊ ഒ ന്‍ ണ്‍ ല്‍ ള്‍ ര്‍ ഋ) in the bottom row of 2nd page of the number keys layout. Those letters are used very often and it is better to move them to the 1st page on number keys layout.

2. Letter ഒ (O) is on the bottom row of 2nd page of the number keys layout. That is used a lot and should be available as the first key on the bottom row when shift (where എ (A) is now). എ (A) should be moved to the same row 2nd key to be consistent with 1st and second row letters. ൃ (iru) can be moved ഒ is now.

3. If you decides to agree with my point 1 above and move the Malayalam letters to 1st page of number keys layout, I just wanted to also mention that the currency symbols ($, ₹, etc) keys are also used very often and would prefer to keep it on the 1st page of number keys layout. There are a lot of other symbols on the number keys first page that is not really used that often, which could be moved to the bottom row on the second page.

4. This maybe true for other Indian keyboard layouts as well. I am not sure.

This will make the keyboard consistent with the iOS keyboard and most Android keyboard layout, making it easier for people to type.

Thanks again for your hard work in translating to Indian languages and good luck in India.
