Contribution: Renewed Russian-Kazakh Keyboard #5953
Description
- KOReader version: tested on 2020.03.01
- Device: Kindle Paperwhite 5.9.7
Dear KOReader Developers and Community,
First of all, it was such a touching moment to realize that current KOReader build for Kindle uses the Russian-Kazakh keyboard variant I suggested for Kindle Touch about 4 years ago.
I am happy to see so much improvement in keyboard's frontend like popups, selecting input languages and resizing the keys, that it motivated me to edit this keyboard again :D
Here is the archive with layout and its popup file:
koreader_new_RU_keyboard.zip
I will be happy if you find this keyboard useful enough to include it in the April release.
Please let me know if something should be changed.
-
Russian layout looks more natural now, with only popup keys for ё and ъ:

-
Kazakh letters moved from umlaut-layout to popups of the main layout.

-
Umlaut section is now a full-blown Greek alphabet + math symbols (overall I feel that 8 layers of keyboard is a little to much for a keyboard, but I decided to replace the keyboard completely now that I started).

-
Arrow keys in Sym section are now aligned as on a PC keyboard.

-
The keyboard files are edited in the most simple and clear way without any workarounds as I've seen in some other keyboard adaptations. I hope this makes it better to read and modify if needed.
Thank you! I really appreciate everything you are doing with KOReader and would like to contribute even more!
