Here is a picture of the keyboard that I'll use for SmileIde. It's not finished yet, but I can already use it to write stuff. Things to do: - Add support to other characters. (Including the ones that aren't on smilebasic keyboard) - Buttons that interact with the IDE in other ways (Example: Code snippets, word suggestion, comment line, etc)

By the way, the buttons with arrows change the characters displayed on the keyboard. If anyone has any suggestion, then let me know.

Can you include the Swype feature? Pleaseee

I can't figure out sprites and this dude makin' an IDE

Is there a reason the N with breve is a specific key? If you want to allow typing accented characters and other diacritics I'd suggest a "combine" modifier key. It would probably require a hardcoded table for the transformations, but the idea is that e.g. [Com] + ' + a : inserts á [Com] + ^ + e : inserts ê If that's not what you intended then never mind this I guess.

@SıмΞоп Could you explain that idea? @cool guy Thanks. @lumage I speak spanish and our keyboard has that letter on that position. I thought about leaving those characters on another page but I'll try to add the feature to combine characters. Also, the buttons are stored on data so it's not hard to change this on the future.

Okay so Basically you hold down the stylus and draw on the keyboard to each letter, then when you pick up the stylus it inserts a space to complete the word Say, if the distance from the stylus start X and Y, and current stylus X and Y exceeds, maybe 15 pixels, then it'll enter Swype mode which will start drawing a line wherever you drag, looking for sharp turns

If you haven't heard of it, and you have a phone Enable it! You can type so fast just by sliding your finger around the keyboard

SimEon: Swype uses dictionaries and some fancier letter prediction (many gestures will not land exactly on the intended letter) to work the way it does. It's harder to implement than it might seem... raimondz: Ah, I forgot about other keyboard layouts. Well, either way is fine. The combination modifier might still work better for generalized multilingual input support.

Oh it can't be that hard I'll do some testing

SıмΞоп I saw some implementations. The major problem with that feature is to find or implement an efficient algorithm to match path into words within a dictionary (Example: transform "mjuytfdsdftyuiuhgvc" to "music"). A guy implemented this on Python and it took 1 hour to finish the test cases.

Hmm
