This repo contains the keyboard layout definitions for FUTO Keyboard.
See the Layout Spec for information on the YAML format.
In FUTO Keyboard nightly, you can define custom layouts within the app for testing and development.
To activate developer settings, go to the "Help & Feedback" section and tap the version code a bunch of times, this will activate the "Developer Options" section in the settings home menu.
Visit "Developer Settings" > "Custom layouts" to create custom layouts. They will be activated in the layout switcher by default once saved.
If you're planning to contribute this layout, please make sure to test it with different settings enabled to make sure it behaves as expected:
- Split keyboard in landscape
- Number row enabled / disabled
- Arrow keys enabled / disabled
- Long-press key settings in various orders
- (if you edited the bottom row) Action key and contextual key
After testing and verifying your layout works and is accurate, you can open a pull request to contribute the layout.
The app will search for *.yml and *.yaml files here recursively. The directories not namespaced,
so please ensure there are no two files with the same name (i.e. place Lithuanian QWERTY in
Lithuanian/lithuanian-qwerty.yaml, not Lithuanian/qwerty.yaml).
Please also update mapping.yaml and insert your layout name under the relevant languages.
If you're having issues with opening a pull request, you can also just open an issue and include your YAML and request it to be added.
Obscure layouts can serve to confuse users and bloat the layout list, so we are likely going to have some standards for inclusion of layouts.
If you're unable to express a layout under the current system, let us know by opening an issue. Some limitations currently exist due to the non-triviality of implementing the necessary features (e.g. Japanese flick keys are unsupported).
