Thank you for your reply. I think "for compact" is reasonable reason.
However there is original reported problem that onboard layout cannot input jp keys. Missing keys are: - AE13: keycode = 132, key = [yen, bar] - AB11: keycode = 97, key = [backslash, underscore] Preferred layout is (like attatched image): - AE13 is left of BKSP - AB11 is left of RTSH Possible solutions: Make new layouts for Japanese. - It is simple. - User needs to change layout manually (can handle in language-selector?). - Increase layout files (Compact for Jp, FUll Keyboard for Jp, Grid for Jp, and other countries...) - Most part is redundant, increase package size (is there any way to share common part?). ** Attachment added: "Screenshot_from_2013-02-12 01:08:20.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/552425/+attachment/3528713/+files/Screenshot_from_2013-02-12%2001%3A08%3A20.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to onboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552425 Title: missing backslash-underscore key in Japanese layout Status in Onboard on-screen keyboard: New Status in Ubuntu on the Nexus 7: New Status in “onboard” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: onboard Latest Package Tested: onboard 0.94.0-0ubuntu2b1 In Japanese keyboard layout, users cannot input underscore "_" and backslash "\" from lack of a key.
