Note: build.sh updated to make sure that test:help build action:target doesn't also call test.sh by adding `:_all` meta-target. Note: CI will need a new help-keyman-com.sh build step to deploy web engine help. Fixes: #12347

title: Desktop User Interfaces
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Four different KeymanWeb user interfaces for desktop browsers are
|
|
included, allowing users to select and enable keyboard mapping from a
|
|
list of installed keyboards, and to control the visibility of the
|
|
On-Screen Keyboard.
|
|
|
|
["Button" Interface](button)
|
|
: The simplest user interface is the "button" UI, which appears at a
|
|
fixed position on the web page, and is attached to an empty 'Div'
|
|
element with id='KeymanWebControl' added to the page where
|
|
appropriate.
|
|
|
|
<!-- -->
|
|
|
|
["Toggle" Interface](toggle)
|
|
: The "toggle" user interface provides a drop-down list of supported
|
|
input languages and keyboards, and moves with the focus to appear at
|
|
the right hand side of the focused element.
|
|
|
|
<!-- -->
|
|
|
|
["Float" Interface](float)
|
|
: The "float" user interface (the original KeymanWeb user interface)
|
|
appears as a drop-down list of available keyboards below the
|
|
currently focused element
|
|
|
|
<!-- -->
|
|
|
|
["Toolbar" Interface](toolbar)
|
|
: For pages which must support a large number of languages from many
|
|
regions, we recommend using our "toolbar" user interface, which
|
|
displays a drop-down map allowing users to first choose the region
|
|
from the map or by name, then select input language by country.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, developers may implement a custom interface for desktop
|
|
browsers with appropriate corporate branding, using the various API
|
|
functions to manage keyboard selection and display.
|
|
|
|
For touch-screen devices, the user-interface is integrated into the
|
|
On-Screen Keyboard, and cannot be overridden by the developer.
