Cette page concerne l'installation d'un clavier virtuel de type bépo sur un appareil Jolla SailfishOS 3.0

Historique

Il a été possible d'installer un clavier bépo sur SailfishOS. C'est en se basant sur un fichier trouvé sur Internet qu'une adaptation a été réalisée pour le charger sur un appareil Jolla sous SailfishOS 3.0.

Pour que le serveur de clavier virtuel maalit prenne en compte une nouvelle disposition, deux fichiers doivent être créés. Le fichier décrivant la disposition est un fichier qml, ici bepo.qml, et un fichier de configuration doit également exister, ici layout_bepo.conf.

Manipulation

Avec les droits de super-utilisateur, placer ces deux fichiers dans le répertoire /usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/jolla/layouts/

Relancer le serveur avec (c'est un peu bourru; rebooter l'appareil devrait le faire):

killall maliit-server

Dans l'application Réglages » Système » Entrée de texte » Claviers, ajouter Bépo.

Faiblesses reconnues

faire rentrer en trois rangées (avec deux touches de moins par rangée) un clavier de quatre est une gageure: il s'agit d'un clavier de smartphone.
