1. Copy help.keyman.com/developer/17.0/* into /developer/docs/help 2. Update references to 18.0 where appropriate 3. Copy all referenced images from /cdn/dev into /developer/docs/help/images and update links in documentation Next commit: add deployment to help-keyman-com.sh. Note: simplest way to test links at this point is to use the help.keyman.com auto deploy and wait for the PR on help.keyman.com to be validated; we could look at an internal link validation tool that verifies markdown links?

title: Installing Custom Keyboards to your iPhone or iPad
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
In version 10 of Keyman for iPhone and iPad, we added the ability to easily download custom keyboards to your iOS device.
|
|
|
|
## Installing a custom keyboard
|
|
|
|
To install a custom keyboard, you will first need a link to the keyboard
|
|
package on a website or in your email.
|
|
|
|
If you want to build and dev your own keyboard, you will need some
|
|
technical skills for this, and can read our full step-by-step
|
|
instructional on how to do this [here](packages).
|
|
|
|
Once you have a website or email with a link to the keyboard package,
|
|
follow these steps on your iPhone or iPad to download and install the
|
|
keyboard package into the Keyman for iPhone and iPad application:
|
|
|
|
## Step 1) Click the link to your custom keyboard package file
|
|
|
|
The link in this example is for GFF Amharic 7 keyboard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Safari will display an option to open the KMP file with Keyman
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 2) Click Open in "Keyman"
|
|
|
|
Keyman for iPhone and iPad will parse the metadata in the package. If
|
|
the keyboard package includes a "welcome.htm" file, this will be
|
|
displayed at the confirmation to install the keyboard package
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If "welcome.htm" is not included, a generic page with the package ID and
|
|
package version will be shown.
|
|
|
|
## Step 3) Click the top right "Install" button
|
|
|
|
The keyboard from the keyboard package is successfully installed!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All the keyboards in the package are installed as a group. In this
|
|
example, the package only has the "GFF Amharic 7" keyboard, so it
|
|
becomes the active keyboard
