[SailfishDevel] uinput with maliit at sailfishapps

[Kimmo Lindholm]

I know... we are in progress with that too... they were really busy getting the 1.0 out... so our request didn't get so high priority. So we needed to hack something together for MWC, all works for the demo, except this "shift ?"

vkb  view is controllable from hwkb side, to show some specials or locals like ÅÄÖ and predictive + clipboard. (TBD)

I can suggest you to ask Jolla to implement system hwkb input method to disable vkb to appear, and fix android input. Thats 9000% better than hacking :)

Or something like that....
(Running this on Jolla (1.0.3.8) and it is related to the qwerty toh keyboard)

I use uinput to send key events (EV_KEY) - these works ok,
but when I send e.g. KEY_LEFTSHIFT or KEY_CAPSLOCK, a ? character appears as "prefix" to the actual character.

e.g. sending KEY_A --> a
sending KEY_LEFTSHIFT and then KEY_A --> ?A

That is on sailfish apps, but when I do same thing in fingerterminal, the ? char does not appear and all works fine.
On android apps nothing works.

If someone feels that this is a bug (as I do) please could someone point me to correct direction reporting it out.

Regards,
Kimmo
