[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] virtual keyboard

[From: Brano Kemen]

Hi,

I was playing with the virtual keyboard in the notes application, quite 
liking it. The word completion is nice since the suggested words appear 
(as if) on the keyboard itself so I don't have to look elsewhere when 
typing.
     However, after each word selected from the suggestions, an 
additional space is appended - which is fine, since most of the time 
follows another word. But if there comes a comma, period, or if I want 
to extend the word with -s or -ed or such, I could save a few taps if I 
could tap the virtual key and drag shortly to the left.

     Such a gesture would send a (backspace,key,space) sequence to the 
application to do the trick. Currently, it sends backspace everywhere 
within the virtual keyboard but on the space key, but I would want it to 
behave differently - on the space key do backspace, and elsewhere the 
backspace,key,space sequence.

Now the question is if I can do it, if you don't see some problems with 
it. Eventually can someone point me to the vk code?

thanks,
Brano
