Virtual Keyboard with QWERTY layout for the PM3 skin
#1
Hi,
Due to PM3 only using an alphabetical virtual keyboard, I have modified the DialogKeyboard.xml found in APPS\XBMC\skin\Project Mayhem III\PAL to reflect a Qwerty keyboard instead of alphabetical. This is still using the square layout but takes some of the confusion away for us people who use a qwerty keyboard all the time. Hope this is useful

If any one is interested just PM me and I will email it to you.

Many thanks to all the people involved in this project, IT IS BRILLIANT!!!Big Grin

Note! This should only be added to the official XBMC CVS if it can be added as an user-selectable option, either via advancedsettings.xml or GUI. The reason it can not be added as the default is that not all contries in the work use QWERTY, though while it may be the most common, some contries use AZERTY (and a ), that is why we have to use the ALPHABETICAL layout as the default.

PS! Would be nice if it was GUI switchable, ALPHABETICAL as the default, and QWERTY, AZERTY, etc. as the options.

PPS! @7s7, if you (or someone else) feel up to it then please make a xml earch for QWERTZ, QZERTY, AZERTY and Dvorak, etc. as well, we all love it if XBMC could become even more 'international' Wink

oh, we would actually need a lot of QWERTY layout schemes Tongue
(just see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout)

QWERTY (Canadian French)
QWERTY (Canadian Multilingual Standard)
QWERTY (Portuguese (Portugal))
QWERTY (Portuguese (Brazil))
QWERTY (Norwegian)
QWERTY (Danish)
QWERTY (Swedish/Finnish)
QWERTY (UK)
QWERTY (US)
QWERTY (US-International)
..........etc.

and the same goes for QWERTZ, all others only have one(?)
