Excellent work everyone!!!

Hi Peter,

I wasn't having much luck with yum upgrade seeing the arm versions on the XOs
here for testing yet, but I managed to find your arm build tonight at [1], and
installed the below rpms on an XO-4 for some quick testing of the new language
layout cycle key support:

maliit-framework-0.93.0-1.fc18.armv7hl.rpm
maliit-framework-gtk2-0.93.0-1.fc18.armv7hl.rpm
maliit-framework-gtk3-0.93.0-1.fc18.armv7hl.rpm
maliit-plugins-0.93.0-1.fc18.armv7hl.rpm

Wanted to quickly confirm that all is working well :) The language layout key
icon is rendering correctly on the keyboard (world map icon [3]); that the key
is cycling through the enabled layouts on each press; and once it reaches the
last enabled layout it loops back to the first layout.

I can also confirm that the extended key fix [2] is correctly included.

I am considering one small design change on these layouts, to swap the language
layout key with the ?123 key to the left, so that the language key is in the far
left keyboard corner. This will keep its position stable as you cycle through
different keyboard layouts allowing you can tap in the same location without
needing to visually check it might have shifted a little (the ?123 size can vary
on some layouts due to additional keys).

I will re-test the OSK tomorrow on an XO-1.75 for checking portrait orientation
layouts (XO-4s don't yet have gfx support for screen rotation).

Many (!) thanks must go to Michael (mikhas) for his Sunday maliit coding, patch,
and release, this was almost a lost feature for the 13.1.0 target!!

Daniel: If possible we should try to enable two, perhaps three layouts in the
next test build so the feature can be more widely used/demoed/tested – keeping
in mind there is no existing way to hide this key if only one layout is enabled
(the key has no effect if only one language layout is enabled).


Gary, the easiest for testing is to edit 
/home/olpc/.config/maliit.org/server.conf


Here is an example I did you try as working fine: 
http://dev.laptop.org/attachment/ticket/12166/server.conf


But maybe having by default (en, es, fr might be a good bet or going 
with more fancy ones to show off) is a good idea.


Cheers,
   Simon

Yes thanks for the reminder that this is the easiest place to tweak. I was 
previously using the maliit settings python example to enable all the layout's 
I've been working with.

 But maybe having by default (en, es, fr might be a good bet or going with 
 more fancy ones to show off) is a good idea.

en_us, es and fr sound like fair candidates to enable to get the ball rolling 
:) It would also place enough config in ~/.config/maliit.org/server.conf so 
folks can more easily enable more layouts if needed.

Great, I had to go to sleep before it completed. It is now in the dropbox
so you should be able to yum upgrade it.

OK, let me know if there's extra/updated patches.
