Description pscottdv 2012-07-24 20:51:24 UTC
There is no way to type a ~ (tilda) character using the on-screen keyboard.  tilda is a very important symbol in Unix and Unix-like environments.

^ (circumflex accent) is also missing compared to my iOS keyboard.

Review of attachment 223033 [details] [review]:

There are some more oddities in the touch mode:

Maybe better ask for the concrete design of level 3 & 4, before fixing it locally.

(btw, this bug should be reassigned to caribou)

Add missing symbols to touch layouts

--
Haven't heard any news from the design team yet and the UI freeze is
approaching, I'd propose the layouts for level 2&3, based on iOS OSK.

It doesn't touch the level 1 layout, so I think it is compatible with the
original design.
Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2013-02-13 17:18:27 UTC
Do you have a screenshot of the proposed layouts ? That would be really helpful

Tweak some symbols on level 2 not to include non-ASCII characters, and enlarge keys on the 3rd row.

go for it, I would say. The designers were in favour.
