Hi,

I would love to have ä and ö in the vkb. Currently they are behind some
menus, I don't bother using them, so my mails in Finnish lack ä and ö
which makes them look funny.. That is propably the case of other languages
as well, like Swedish etc., so a tool for creating custom layouts would be
indeed nice.

I never use either of them. I always turn similar features in mobile
phones off (automatic word completion). Office tools which have
automatical spell 7checking, auto-capitalization etc. and stuff like that
are the worst (the word predition fortunately doesn't force you to use the
predicted word like some office tool would). I am pretty fast actually
writing with the plain vkb. I use it for writing mails occasionally and
after all it is not that slow if you tap the stylus fast allthough it of
course doesn't compare with a hardware qwerty. But quite good enough for
writing to a blog in bus etc. Handwriting recognition could never read my
hieroglyphs anyway, so I don't bother with it, and I am using plain vkb
(where I would love to have the ä and ö letters allthough as my blog is in
English, I don't need those letters usually in my blog).

Best Wishes,
Karoliina
