[MeeGo-dev] virtual keyboard
Hi; I just want to confirm the virtual keyboard available on MeeGo tablet image and how it works. It looks like the virtual keyboard will automatically show up/available for any text input. For example, I have an QML app and the virtual keyboard shows up automatically under my TextInput area during run time. Is this assumption correct (virtual keyboard is available automatically for any text input fields)? thanks Mark ___ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines

But I keep thinking that this concept really only works out for small form factors (such as handset UX). For tablet UX and bigger (say, on the desktop), the Qt default of first touch to focus, and second touch to bring up VKB feels better. But then again, I am no user interaction designer ... regards, Michael PS: We have a dedicated ML for input methods on MeeGo - http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-inputmethods ___ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines

To be honest, it annoys me even on handsets. :-) But then again, I am no user interaction designer ... Neither am I, but I suspect nor could one of them tell you off the top of their head which is better (without more or less guessing) - these are the sort of things you really need proper studies to figure out IMO. -- Robin Burchell http://rburchell.com ___ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines

If you write your app such that a given element automatically has focus then you will see the vkb open as soon as you open the app, but if you don't then the user has to touch the input area. --rusty ___ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines

Hi, Without actually looking at the UI, but isn't this a bit awkward ? e.g. Enter is common enough to be more apparent that that? Hopefully it'll change for 1.2 ? -Sivan On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 7:01 PM, Mohammad Anwari md...@di.blankon.in wrote: 2010/11/2 praveen pandey praveen.pan...@gmail.com: Hi All, I dont see an 'Enter key' in Virtual Keyboard in meego 1.1 image.
