Handset

Virtual keyboard works in handset UX except in N900 where there is something blocks the touchscreen usage together with the virtual keyboard.

Netbook

In order to get virtual keyboard on netbook UX, you need to do the following:

  • enable 'handset' repository
  • install 'meegotouch-inputmethodbridges' package, which should pull all other meegotouch input method dependencies
  • Modify /etc/xdg/autostart/meego-im-uiserver.desktop to be look like this:

[Desktop Entry]

Exec=/usr/bin/meego-im-uiserver -target slate -bypass-wm-hint

X-Moblin-Priority=High

OnlyShowIn=X-MEEGO-HS;X-MEEGO-NB This will work with 1024x600 resolution. Replace 'slate' with other code if you have different resolution. You can get the codes from /etc/meegotouch/devices.conf file.

  • Relogin (or reboot) to desktop

Any time you activate text entry, virtual keyboard will popup with special known features:

  • A horizontal swipe gesture on the keyboard will change the language.
  • ENTER key is under space (shift-space)
  • ENTER doesn't work in Chromium url bar (but it works on web pages)
  • text entry doesn't relocate when virtual keyboard is up, so you need to manually scroll the application
  • Swipe down on the keyboard closes it
