In the meantime, realsportcars, if you can pull off making it work... You reach a new level of awesome for me.

But please, please listen to the users who wish for support for the special symbols and/or letters with accent marks. (I don't know which ones you've implemented, or what you've got planned, I've just heard plenty of users say that they use letters with accent marks a lot, and thus they would be greatly more benefited by your keyboard if those letters were easy to type.)
I found an ugly workaround for it if anyone's desperate to start something in portrait mode, don't use maemo5's theming (kinda sucks having to drop themes till this is fixed).

I'm not sure how this keyboard would launch in portrait mode, it probably won't if the window in the foreground is in portrait mode, it happens to all Qt apps.
