But what behaviour is exactly enabled by the > above types? none. it's a "hint". for example if the app requests "you're in a numeric input field - as the keyboard for a numeric mode" for the keyboard code to switch layouts to that layout. it's to hook with the hints from apps. > Could TERMINAL and NUMERIC by default also be non-predictive? they are both non predictive. remember the kbd only puts strings through the dict - keysyms (raw key names) it doesn't. > It is not clear for me from > http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/browser/trunk/e/src/modules/illume/e_kbd.c > and > http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/browser/trunk/e/src/modules/illume/e_kbd_int.c > what effect it has on predictive mode. Also There are many more modes > available like HEX, PASSWORD etc. dictionary use is implied by how the key outputs a char. i.ie using "!" instead of exclam (for exlamation mark) puts ! thru the dict, but exclam goes straight to the app - no dict involved. thats whhy terminal.kbd doesnt go through the dictionary prediction at all - as no keys there output a string. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [email protected] _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
