Description
eekboard is a virtual keyboard (aka on-screen keyboard) software package, designed to be flexible and easy to use. For users, it provides a simple program called "eekboard" which works just like other virtual keyboards, though maybe it looks fancier. For developers, it provides a D-Bus protocol server and libraries to access. This allows developers to create custom clients which interact with other desktop technologies such as input methods, desktop keyboard settings, and accessibility.
How to test
As a standalone application:
- install eekboard if not installed
$ sudo yum install eekboard
- start eekboard
- focus in some text window (like gedit or gnome-terminal)
- click buttons on the eekboard window
To use Inscript or any other m17n keymap:
- start eekboard
- click "Setup" button on the bottom right corner
- select "Keyboards" tab
- click "Add" button and select "Hindi (inscript)"
- click "Change Keyboard" button on the bottom left corner
To use with ibus-m17n
- enable ibus-m17n Indic input method in IBus (like "Hindi - inscript (m17n)")
- click "Screen Keyboard" on the IME menu
To disable eekboard in ibus-m17n and use iok instead
- install iok if not installed
$ sudo yum install iok
- set screen keyboard implementation to iok
dconf write /desktop/ibus/engine/m17n/virtual-keyboard-implementation "'iok'"
- use ibus-m17n as above
Expected Results
As a standalone application -> can input English characters in terminal
To use Inscript or any other m17n keymap -> eekboard keyboard will be changed to Hindi inscript keymap
To use with ibus-m17n -> eekboard with Hindi inscript keymap will show up
To disable eekboard in ibus-m17n and use iok instead -> iok will be shown instead of eekboard
