French Canadian Keyboard
-
Hi,
There really is no rush for this but it would be nice to have a French Canadian keyboard on UT. I understand that we are not a big potential user base like France or Germany but we do use a different keyboard. France uses AZERTY, French Switzerland uses QWERTZ and we use QWERTY. There is over 7 million people in Canada speaking french and using this layout:
I would do it but unfortunately I don't know how to code, yet. A QWERTY keyboard with french suggestions of words and french autocorrect and spell check would do the trick for me.
Thanks

I'm also interested in an italian(it) keyboard...I'm really interested in some documentation/howto about make custom keyboard and Dictionary

Hi!
yes this is possible: Basically we need some new files as shown in this pull request: https://github.com/ubports/keyboard-component/pull/17 - then we can add a new keyboard.

@flohack Thx!
So should I write a request on Github or is this considered a request? What kind of help or files can I provide?
(quite a beginner at this)

@jsnjhn Well you can file an issue on Github, but we need someone who does actually do the work
- You would need to install git on your machine, and you need a Github account too... I did not work on the keyboard at all, but maybe someone else can make a small writeup in which order these things should be done...Br

Okay thanks, I guess for now I'll stick to foreign keyboard as it is not a priority. It's better to focus on other areas of UT.
