Keyboard switch.

last edited byIf you use this script to switch the keyboard, the existing keyboard will be hidden.

last edited by cvpWhat is easy is a little script that you can add to Pythonista keyboards and this new keyboard will offer the English keyboard and a row where you can display and tap your emojis like the actual script.
You can find an initial version here, tell me if it is ok
Of course, you have to add it to Pythonista keyboards via
tools/shortcuts/Pythonista keyboard/+ where you have to choose the script and the titleSee here, used in the mail program. But you don't have any TextView because the input field belongs to the Mail app. And, if you want an English keyboard, there is no room for other buttons.

last edited byThere is no particular need for Emoji.
The most important one is the cursor move button.

Ok, I'll do it.
In summary:- Pythonista Keyboard usable in all apps
- standard English keyboard
- left or right cursor
You would not have all cursor move possibilities, I think, because the text field of any app is not a Pythonista TextView or TextField
Agree?
Do you still need emojis or do I put these left/right cursors in the same row?
Please, confirm
ThanksIf ok, it will be for tomorrow, I hope

last edited byIf there is a space to put, I would like to have Emoji, but I don't mind if it isn't.
You need English and Japanese for the standard language keyboard.

last edited by@shinya.ta The Pythonista keyboard only offers English keyboard.
Of course, you can always tap the globe key to shift to another international keyboard
-
last edited byIf so, please.
-
last edited by@cvp I haven't really delved into keyboard extensions on iOS, but apparently you should have access to a textDocumentProxy
- (void)moveCursorToLeft { [self.textDocumentProxy adjustTextPositionByCharacterOffset:-1]; } - (void)moveCursorToRight { [self.textDocumentProxy adjustTextPositionByCharacterOffset:1]; }
-
last edited by cvp@JonB Not sure that could help because this proxy is a property of the UIControllerInputView and the associated methods are these ones that the keyboard module offers: move_cursor , insert, ....
I can move -1,+1 and I hoped that get_context would return the text before and after so i could move of their length but the returned tuple is only texts in the current line
-
last edited byEven this does not work, it stops after one line
def b_bottom_action(sender): while True: t = keyboard.get_input_context() if len(t[0]) == 0: break keyboard.move_cursor(-len(t[0]))
-
last edited by cvp@shinya.ta New version here with buttons for
- left one position
- right one position
- begin of line
- end of line
Sorry, not yet found a way to go top and bottom of text
-
last edited by@cvp I could see that might not work., Without maybe a thread to keep moving?
-
last edited by@JonB Thanks to try to help us (him? ๐). I don't understand how I could follow your advice.
I've tried in the button's action to start a thread running the same loop, but no change
-
last edited by@JonB But this works, not nice to see the cursor moving so slowly
import time import threading class my_thread(threading.Thread): def __init__(self): threading.Thread.__init__(self) def run(self): while True: t = keyboard.get_input_context() if len(t[0]) == 0: break keyboard.move_cursor(-len(t[0])) time.sleep(0.0001)
-
last edited byOut of curiosity, what if you move_cursor(-10000) or something quite large... Does it only let you move the length of the context, or will it error if you go more than the textview would allow?
-
last edited byI tested.
This is wonderful.
If there is an up-and-down button, it is perfect.
-
last edited by@JonB I had tried very big moves, no error but no movement
-
last edited by@JonB this morning, weird effect, regardless of where the cursor is, it always descends to the same place, while the move parameter is negative. Perhaps, it is too early for my iPad ๐
-
last edited by@shinya.ta I'll try, but this evening
-
last edited by cvp@shinya.ta New version here with 6 buttons:
- left, right which seem ok
- beginning of document, end of document, up one line, down one line
But the process is not so good as hoped...
I've problems with keyboard.get_input_context that, sometimes ๐ข, returns texts of previous line, thus no way to compute length of texts at left and right of cursor because the texts are these ones of another line...Thus, buttons are there, in some cases, it is ok, and in other cases not ๐
I agree that is not so pleasant, but try it at least.
Thanks

last edited byI'll take a test.
Is it possible to make a page with only cursor movement?
