Hi,

It would be much nicer to have a transparent input layout for vkb. Also at least I consider putty unusable with touch only device. It needs lots of workaround to even work at as much as it works now. E.G. the hacks in the feb buffer to "remember" what is writen until enter is pressed == BAD FEP code. I've tried to analyze the depths of FEP how it works and how it should work but there seems to be 0 examples 0 documentations so it's quite hard. Also space in the vkb is quite limited to show up even a small fraction of the terminal screen (in a readable format). I've like much much more about hw qwerty solution in a phone where I'll be using putty but I've still tried to make a quite simple UI for also non hw qwerty phones.

What happens when QT comes? since it seems QT is right around a corner. Do we need a complete rewrite? at least for the UI? Should we do it now? Is it worth our time to spend developing old FEP. Since QT is supported by 5.0 and s^3 and will be in the future mostlikely our only platform to support.

Hi,

Is there plans to update putty touch text input to support split view input introduced in S^3:

Would be usefull to be able to see the lower part of terminal window while inputting text. For example in irssi use and I quess in many other shell usecases also.
