Hello Mohammad,

Since your reply to my questions, the wiki page http://www.maemo.org/platform/docs/howtos/howto_him_bora.html has not been updated :(

More over, http://repository.maemo.org/stable/3.1/content_comparison.html indicates that packages libhildon-input-method-framework-header-sdk-dev and libhildon-input-method-ui-header-sdk-dev have been removed.

As a consequence, it is not possible anymore to compile the sample input method plugin at http://www.maemo.org//downloads/him-plugin-examples/him-plugins-sdk-example-0.0.2.tar.gz

As a workaround, I will revert to bora 3.0. However, what's the solution for bora 3.1 ?

Regards,
G.

The tutorial mentions "libhildon-input-method-header-sdk-dev and libhildon-input-method-framework-header-sdk-dev packages" but the real name of the first package seems to be "libhildon-input-method-ui-header-sdk-dev".

You are correct. I'm cc:-ing bora-feedback hoping they can fix this.

Also, it would be nice to have more detailed documentation on key types and attributes usage.

For instance, the <key alpha="ALPHA" size="2">q</key> markup seems rather obscure to me, particularly the alpha="ALPHA" part.

Also, how do you define a modifier key ?

Unfortunately, there is no modifier key :(

And how do you specify tabs like the "abc" "ABC" "1!+" tabs on the thumb keyboard. In fact, having

Put label attribute in the sublayout tag.
...
<keyboard layout="THUMB">
    <sublayout type="LOWERCASE" label="abc" variance_index="1">
...

the xml versions of the .vkb files deployed on the device would really help understanding how to achieve the "abc/ABC click on the same tab changes the case" behavior.

Use variance index for that, so we would have:
...
<keyboard layout="THUMB">
    <sublayout type="LOWERCASE" label="abc" variance_index="1">
    ...
    <sublayout type="UPPERCASE" label="ABC" variance_index="0">
    ...
...

Is there any plan to make these .xml files available ?

Sorry, no plan for that.

Regards.
G.
