Hello Riccardo,

from the description it is difficult to deduce what is wrong. What example do you mean? Which keys have you moved?

Sorry, was a quick question.

I'm modifyng the text editor example VirtualKeyboard.

I Put a different background on.

Looking at the code i see the keyboard loads the key text from a LayoutString, and the default charachter of the TextKey is an "X".

Loaded in the init method with the string "layoutShiftOff".

When hitting Caps Lock or shift the method loads the string with the Uppercase characther, right?

Hello Riccardo,

yes, see the implementation of the method activateKey. This method processes the activation of a key. If it was the Shift or Caps Lock key, the method reloads the keyboard layout by invoking the method loadLayoutFromString.

Looking at the code i see the keyboard loads the key text from a LayoutString, and the default charachter of the TextKey is an "X".

The keys are represented by Text views. These are pre-configured with the string 'X' so you can recognize them in Composer. In practice, however, the method loadLayoutFromString takes care of assigning the key characters from the passed string to the Text views. To work correctly, it is therefore important that the number of the characters in the layout string does correspond to the number of keys (Text views). If you have added keys, then this mapping is distorted. See also the thread: Adding new keys to virtual keyboard. It explains how the key mapping can be modified.

Does it help you?
