Croatian keyboard layout

I thought you might want to add Croatian keyboard layout. I have created it by modifying one of the existing keyboard layouts. The same layout can be used by Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia & Hercegovina, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Montenegro…

It would be great if you could include it in the future releases of PocketCM Keyboard.

Instructions for use:

Extract the file Croatian.layout from zip and copy it to your mobile device folder \Program Files\PCMKeyboard

Select Input method: "PCM Keyboard", click on "Options" select Croatian in "Keyboard layout" drop-down menu.

Regards,

Damir
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ValeraVi:
tene, i made a some layout (see English-Ukrainian-Russian.Layout, in layouts.zip), and it seems, that it is loaded by PCMKeyboard with some problems.

1. If i include in my layout symbols "[" and "]" (i use \[ and \] as this symbols is special) - the row in which this symbols placed is shifted.

(see the attached image)

if i replace \[ and \] with ordinary symbols ("#" for ex., see English-Ukrainian-Russian_working.Layout) - all is ok.

2. My layout file has big cyrillic letter К in layouts 6 and 8. I think, because of this, the options "symbol_pad=" is not loaded and i do not see my symbols lists when i tap and hold space, enter or mode buttons. If i replaced all cyrillic letters К by, for ex. "#", all is work ok (see English-Ukrainian-Russian_working.Layout)

Also small issue - if after using layout with bigger amount of rows (for ex. this 6 rows) we select in options standard layout with 4 rows, then height of keyboard is not changed to height of 4 row and we got a hole between menu bar and keyboard.

And about Shift-lock - to lock the shift i need to press Shift twice, but for unlock Shift will be best to use one press of Shift button instead of twice.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
You have to "quote" only the open square bracket "[". The closed one "]" has to be put without quote.

So you have to use "\[]" to have the "[" and the "]" keys.

I totally agree with you.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:
We are still missing the < and > keys... or at least i'm not seeing them.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ValeraVi:
for me its not work - all the same - row is shifted to the right. In attachment - my layout edited accordingly to your suggestion (i chanded "\[\]" to "\[]" in keyboard_layout_3, column 37)...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Are you using the latest 0.8 version?

In the previous versions the \ didn't quote well all the special chars. So for the "[" you had to use "[1[]".

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ValeraVi:
Thanks - "[1[]" is helps! I think i use 0.8, because keyboard have new icon (with small bubble). Is exist any "about.." message box in this KB? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 2manyphones:
Here is my latest skin. So far I am very happy with how this is working. I have accomplished most of my goals (in post #488 of this thread). There are 2 English layouts: EnglishIphone 2.0 is the screen capture posted. V2.1 changes the symbol pad page to have numbers accross the top of the screen, rather than in a keypad layout.

Make sure you select one of the layouts and the skin file (Iphone 3.3). You may need to restart the device for the layout to look correct (sometimes the bottom gets cut off, if you don't restart).

Enjoy and feel free to use any of the graphics or layout file to your own preferences!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
If "\[" doesn't work you are not using the 0.8 version. The graphic depends on the skin you use, not on the keyboard version.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hotplainrice:
Great skin, tho I have a problem.

I've tried restarting my device, it always squished up and the keys overlap each other.

How do I fix it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kalavera:
I have a strange problem with pcm keyboard, using 0.8.

The keyboard works perfect, but i notice that the "original keyboard" suggestions popups also appear? This is normal? Any way to disable them since they are very annoying when having a better suggestion module from pcm keyboard ...

Thanks

Keyboard doesn't make a sound???

Tene,

3 things. I don't get any sound when I push a key. My system volume is all turned up and I get sound every where else. How do I correct it??

Next, Is ther any customability to the app?? I know some people may not necessarily need larger keys but I could certainly us at least taller ones.

Finally, What about getting the keyboard to expand fully with landscape mode on supported devices???

Thanks,

CG

Hi,

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I seem to be missing the / key and the same extended characters (a with a caret on etc.) as the normal keyboard. Is this by design or am I blind? :-)

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marisa4755:
Just disable them by start/settings/input

choose the word completion tab and untick the boxes
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marisa4755:
start/settings/sounds & notifications

make sure there is a tick on screen taps - probably soft

try going up a few posts on this thread and look for 2manyphones' iphone skin, that's probably what you are looking for.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marisa4755:
you can customise your own layout, or use one which has been submitted by other users. Look on the PCM forum:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ValeraVi:
I meant icon of the keyboard at the bottom area of screen. The keyboard is activated when you press on it. ("- New keyboard icon, however please give feedback about the future icon here:..." - from the history of PocketCM Keyboard 0.8)

I use v0.8 (09/03/2007) pcmKeyboard.dll size is 335 872 bytes. My dll is attached - is this same as yours? Is you try my layout? Is it working ok on you PDA (2nd row is not shifted on 2nd layout; on long press of Enter key you have 1234567890 buttons)?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Sorry, you are right. I confused with the "\\" that in the previous versions didn't work (you had to use "[1\]") and in 0.8 has been fixed.

The "\[" is the only way to get the "[".

I am using version 0.8 this is one of my scripts- symbol_pad=\4,áíóéè\\\[\]

The first "[" key shows up but the second one "]" doesn't? Any ideas?

My line is correct except the last one is missing (everything is also pushed to the left of the screen, rather than centred)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nesty24:
Hey Tene!

Ei bro, can you please remove the method that the word is suggesting to add a word with a symbol? example, if the word "dog" is in the dictionary but the word "dog." (with dot) is isn't in the dictionary, you may not have to add it, if you're going to add it then all of the words that you have to end in a sentence (of course the dot) will be adding into the dictionary, right? but that's only the dot. how about other symbols like ";:, etc", the words ending in that symbol will be added too. In that case, it will give much effort for you to code it and to the user to add another word with symbol, right? I would like to suggest you to replace a word (if it's wrong) after typing the symbol and if it's right, ignore the symbol.

Some of the 3rd app keyboard suggests long word so you don't have to type it anymore.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
I agree with you... the whole point is what in the "etc"?

we have for now: .:;,

also probably !? what else I'm missing?

what else? Those keys will act as space (except they print the char).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nesty24:
ok, i think your just pointing if a word was in the end of the sentence, right?

I tried to type this on your app, "one-one=xero". the xero is wrong but it doesn't suggest the right word, because (i think) the symbol before the word blocks your method.

I've seen another problem, here in the philippines we short cut words in our language, i think adding up most short-cutted words in the dictionary also helps in suggesting word. Example, the word "kita" is a complete word but we short cut it like "kta", but after typing it on your app, it suggests "Mt." or "Mr." or "Its" but it doesn't suggest the word "+kta" so i can add it.

One thing's for sure, I really like your keyboard, is it possible to disable the suggesting of words?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomste:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itesla:
Not working for me either on Wizard (Cingular 8125), English. Checked the InprocServer32 registry setting and it is "\Program Files\PCMKeyboard\pcmkeyboard.dll"

Tried renaming the dict file and resetting as well.

I can switch to various different SIP keyboards but when I pick PCMkeyboard, it just switches to plain one.

:(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fiskesuppe:
vibrate on hover

would it be possible to trigger the vibrator of the device for about 1/4 of a second, when hovering over each key. So you would "feel" when you touched a new key.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 200mpx:
Try to enter an app where there is no possibility to tape (for example Settings) and try to select this keyboard. And after that you can use it in necessary apps. For me it works.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] delude:
It'd be amazing to skin this to look exactly the iPhone. I'd love to have one like that.

Although it looks amazing already!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
So it only means, "=" should also be a stop character... that's why I'm trying to create the list before implementing... think about it before coding.

The fact is that coding is almost always straightforwards thinking about it isn't...

the "+kta" button should be there... except it's after all the other suggestion. If you press your finger, stay pressed, and "slide" the list, it should be there.

I'm also working on color for suggestion:

- green means "I'm fixing you word, the first suggestion will be user".

- blue means I know your word, here are other possible suggestion

- red means, I don't know the word at all, so do something plz!

(and of course color will be customizable, but you see the idea).

Another great thing would be to get dictionary that contains "shortcut"... personally, I hate that, but I can imagine it's useful for some people. I'm also thinking about parsing current messages and sms to add them to the dictionary automatically.

That may becomes an option, but it would make it a lot less interesting... I'm trying to create something a little bit innovative, and I'm afraid falling back to "classic mode" won't make it happen.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
google will give you some dictionnary. I take them from there...

an advice: test your dictionary for simple common word, and verbs... I found english word list without the word "hello".
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] maevro:
As much as I respect your skills, I have to disagree. Maybe keep the dictionary but allow us to 'uncheck' it so we dont have to use it. I don't even use the dictionary on the OEM one and Happy Tapping Keyboard doesn't even have one and the majority of people on xda use that one.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nonpaq:
Always brought up the default SIP for me as well after installing. I had to soft reset after install to get it to actually work when selected.

BTW, do you plan on a VGA version? It displays half way up and only the left half of the screen on my VGA PDA. Also, no keyboard on mine, so a landscape version would be great.

(I like your "pop-up key" feedback better than HappyTapping keyboard because it is visible over my fat fingers.)

Thanks for the tip but still no luck :(

Take that back, after reset AND selecting it while on the settings screen it worked ;)

Thank you! Have answered you in forum about letter K
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Like 200mpx saied, you should use:

symbol_pad=\4,áíóéè\\[1[]]

Because the correct way to open a square bracket is "[1[]" and to close that bracket you simply need to write "]"

However in the 0.8 version the correct way to use "\" is "\\"

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] texas:
I apologize if this has been brought up before but with over 500 posts in the thread it's hard to find everything.

Has there been any talk of adding a ".com" button much like the iPhone has?

Also, how does one utilize the "auto correct" portion of the app? In other words, if I am trying to type the word "quick" and "qiock" gets typed instead, it's my understanding that the program is supposed to recognize that I meant to type "quick". How does one make the typed word change?

Thanks from a PCM Keyboard newb.

symbol_key=(),{}[1[]]()

Yes, this is a very newb question.

you can create custom keys that spit out strings of characters like .com or =), or whatever you want. this feature was added in .6 or .7... go to the author's website to review the keyboard customization guide.

You have the ability to change the layout of the keyboard if you want too.

v0.9 compare to older version looks very good after trying.

RC is a good status. Memory clash with other SIP issue seems gone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zard:
Hi tene,

I installed v0.9 and during installation, it mentioned about installing v0.8 but I'm quite sure I got the right cab, comparing the size and date with v0.8 and v0.7.

I suspect that in your cab, you might have forgotten to make a change to some of your installation text.

In terms of v0.9, I don't seem to see much different from v0.8, guess probably because I am using my own layout. Well, I already was using v0.8 happily without complaints, so v0.9, of course no complaint.

Very nice!

at first... great job! the keyboard is great and was the reason for changing my big tytn to a touch... becaus i dont need a hardwarekeyboard anymore.

but there a to ideas for improvents:

1. Add words to the dictionary, if autosuggestion "corrects" a word and the user then goes back to the original word (the word "corrected" by autosuggestion was already the right one)

2. if autosuggestion corrects a word which the user type with a smal starting letter... keep the corrected word smal too
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Applestar:
Tene,

this is so GREAT - I used them all, SpB Full KEyboard, Teksofts new Touch KEyboard etc. They just got uninstalled..

I first did not get all "hidden" features of you SIP - especially typing in the most important symbols (!?,....) was quite difficult. Until I realized you just have to key-press the symbol key to get the most frequent used ones.

So: Please make sure the application gets a decent manual. And I cant wait for the 1.0 to use (& buy). Until now I donated you some 6 Euros as a down payment ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Well I made it this way first... but it wasn't working well, too many word were added by mistake. Dictionary are useful for word that you really use often, not the thing you type once. Also one of the biggest complaint I have against dictionary based stuff is lack of control, I test the keyboard a lot, and suggestion for windows mobile is now suggesting me total crap.

What I may add however is a way to slide down on the replacement button to let you add the word anyway.

I'm suspecting your dict contains capital letters. Which dictionary are you using?
