Keyboard switch.

[shinya.ta]

If you use this script to switch the keyboard, the existing keyboard will be hidden.
How can I change the beta version to use with the existing keyboard?

@shinya.ta New version here

But, only to be sure that the layout is what you want. Could you check and try, please.

I didn't understand the new key at bottom right of your picture, where I temporary put "???".

Don't hope the keys do what you want, I've a lot of problems with the keyboard module.

⬅️ = left one character
➡️ = right one character
文頭 = begin of sentence
文末 = end of sentence
⬆️ = up one line, but it is not entirely ok
⬇️ = down one line, but is not entirely ok
??? = no action, and is entirely ok 😂

I've let emoji's line, tell me if you don't want it.

If no news, have a good week-end.

PS For my curiosity, does your wife still use my (big) program for the Japanese Braille keyboard?

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

"？？？" is delete button.
It means delete in Japanese.
This is also fine with Emoji.
Everything is perfect.

If possible, I want a copy button.

My wife also uses the braille application.
I use a braille application for a simple document and use an existing keyboard for using a difficult kanji.
Therefore, this keyboard application is necessary for long sentences.

[cvp]

@shinya.ta Could you

1. post the Japanese characters for delete, is that 左削除
2. confirm if you want left delete (backspace) or delete at cursor
3. about copy, where do you want the button, it's text
4. what is copy for you? Normally, copy is copy selected text to clipboard

[cvp]

This is a new version With

1. delete left with the same text as in Braille keyboard app
2. copy button with copy to clipboard of selected text

Please confirm all and position of copy button

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

The copy button doesn't work well.
I want to copy the text by one push just like a previous copy button.

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

When you press "⏩", the following screen will be displayed.

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

Can you tell me how to get a new Pythonisa beta version?

My wife uses it in the Pythonisa beta version of my iPhone.
I would like to put a beta version on my wife's iPhone.

[cvp]

See https://testflight.apple.com/join/qDkBu2ur
but don't forget we met a problem with the last build 330015. I'm not sure that customized keyboards like Japanese Braille or this one still works in this build. I have reinstalled the build 330014.

You are right, next version will correct it

[cvp]

@shinya.ta said:

The copy button doesn't work well.

As described in the keyboard module doc, to copy to clipboard, you have to
authorize full access in
Settings/Pythonista3/Keyboards/Authorize Full Access

[cvp]

@shinya.ta New version

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

I had a full access, but the copy button is invalid.
I can't paste it.

[cvp]

@shinya.ta Very strange. For me, all is ok.
Sure you had already "full access" before or you have just set it on?
If just set, please remove (NOT UNINSTALL) Pythonista from active apps and restart it.
Sure you select something in the text, try first with normal copy in popup menu of select.
Then, select something else and copy via our keyboard

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

You can't use it on email software or LINE that you often use.
I was able to use it in the text view of the previous cursor moving application.

[cvp]

@shinya.ta Are you sure that you have installed the last version?
If yes, the ⏩ key should work fine.
If it does not work, then you should have forgotten to install the last version.

If yes, I want to be sure that that you hope that the "copy" button copies TO the clipboard, and does not perform a paste FROM the clipboard.

[cvp]

@shinya.ta said:

I was able to use it in the text view of the previous cursor moving application.

The previous cursor moving application was a "full Pythonista" application and did not need this setting "full access" but this is a keyboard application and needs to be authorized to copy some selected text (from Email by example) to the Clopboard.

I'm not sure but it is possible that, if you modify a setting, you need to restart (NOT REINSTALL) Pythonista, that will say remove it from the active apps and recall it.
Did you do that?

new version with check full access
this is the same version but the title of the copy button will be "no full" if Pythonista setting "full access" is off

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

I restarted.
But it wasn't good.
It was the same as the previous cursor moving application, and it was the same as when I was using the Japanese voice. It was normal on my wife's iPhone.
But it wasn't good on my iPhone.
It is certain that it is slightly different depending on the device.

[cvp]

@shinya.ta I hope you have installed the new version.
And do you see the text "copy" or "no full"?

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

Is the new version "330015"?

[cvp]

@shinya.ta I speak of the new version of the Pythonista script...Emojis keyboard

And stay in 330014
