After a demo of the Touch Layout Editor @jahorton suggested using a
"default hint" model instead of the "display hint" from the design spec.
I liked this and have reworked the design accordingly. With the default
hint model, a source for the hint text can be specified, such as the
default longpress key, or a specific flick key. This can then be
overridden on a key level.
The hint input element now shows a placeholder to indicate the default
hint for the key, and if a hint has been customised for a given key, it
is shown in green on the key cap.
Changing the default hint does not impact any customised hints.
Most dialogs in touch layout editor can now have just a Close
button with changes taking effect immediately. This helps users
visualize how the options they've chosen will work.
Moves the top toolbar to the left to make more room, and tidy it up,
and moves various controls into sub-dialogs to make them clearer.
Shortcut buttons to prepopulate the Hint property will come in a
subsequent PR.
Improves the .keyman-touch-layout clean schema and adds additional
cleanup during load and save in the Touch Layout Editor.
The compiler already does transforms for the relevant fields to the
formats that KeymanWeb is expecting (in particular, width, pad to
string).
This is preparation for adding hint data to the format as well.
* Restrucure touch layout editor to make space for additional gesture
types:
* Move control bar to right hand side
* Move key cap edits to control bar.
* Adds flick and multitap gestures:
* Adds buttons to add longpress keys, flicks or multitaps.
* Adds Unicode value boxes which mirror the key cap text box.
* Updates key width values in real time when resizing
* Maintain selected key as far as possible across layer switch, platform
switch and presentation view switch.
* Starts to split 'special' key cap icons from normal key caps.
