I’m new to the Keyman project, and I’m looking to Keyman for a good on-screen keyboard (Windows). I know that Keyman is focused towards supporting many languages (and that’s something I need), but how flexible is it when it comes to being a good on-screen-keyboard? I have some beginners questions. Please, direct me elsewhere if this is the wrong forum.
- Can I use Keyman Developer to create an onscreen-keyboard that appears and disappears automatically when I select an input field? I have not seen this feature mentioned anywhere, so I guess it requires source code changes(?) Is this feature easier to reach when building a Web keyboard?
Can I delete certain keys from the on-screen keyboard layout? I briefly tried to import a layout from windows and deleted the code lines belonging to ‘f’ in the Layout tab. Then in the On-Screen tab I filled from layout. This only made the f-key blank, but how do I delete it?
Can I change the appearance of the on-screen keyboard, such as hide the top bar or change colours? As I understand some of these things are planned for v19, but can I somehow do this already now by modifying files directly? Again, is it at least possible when building for Web?
I appreciate the help in understanding what Keyman is and what it isn’t.
