Er, Dvorak on a touchscreen might be exactly the wrong thing to
do... you don't really want to alternate taps on both sides of the
screen, do you?

  Unless you meant some layout optimised especially for the FR
touchscreen according to the same methods that gave us the Dvorak-ish
keyboard layouts, in which case I'm all in favour :-)

Probably depends on what you are used to.
I go nuts when i have to type anything in a ABC layout on touch screens 
as they are often used in public service points.

I'm not using 10 fingers there, but i have to search every key. Frustrating!

Same goes for me with mobile phone text entry. It's not too unergonomic 
(if you are used to), but i go nuts over searching every key.

Great!

Is it also possible to change the size of the keys? They are so tiny. I'd like 
to reduce the size of the shift and ctrl keys to have more space for the 
letters. Also we should get rid of the unused space between the keys.

QWERTY is also optimized for that (originally to avoid typewriter
jams). The main point is to know where to find the keys.

självklart ;-)
have a look at the file -- from my short glance yesterday it seems you  
just define the rows and what each button should be.

Hehe tak ;-) Fair, then there is not much that is left which prevents

hi, the xml you posted to the wiki was not well formed.
i fixed it but since i lost my wiki password, i can't update the page.
i append the xml here -- maybe someone puts it in there (hope, it gets not  
distorted ...).
