hi,

I writed a virtual keyboard with QML and PySide, and a hildon input plugin ( so it is integrted to system, can be use like origin virtual keyboard )

and, this keyboard is fit for Chinese input, like below :



now this application is in extras-devel repo. the application name is "mcip" .

the source code at here.

I start work at 2010 sep, you can find old post at this place, and if you can read Chinese, you can find the whole history at this place.

Before this version I feel my work is poor so cannot "Annnounce", but now, I think I can do this, do you think so? :]

Useage :

Intsall "mcip" in extras-devel repo. It will replace default virtual keyboard.
