I think that the arrows are some of the most useful keys so they should be readily accessible. I modified the default symbols_en.xml layout so that they appear in the first symbols layout, eating up the space of the space key. I had to move the single quote to the row above too to make them fit.

Edit /usr/share/meegotouch/virtual-keyboard/layouts/symbols_en.xml with this and you will have it in all languages that import it as symbols.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE keyboard SYSTEM 'VirtualKeyboardLayout.dtd'>
<keyboard version="1.0" catalog="symbols">
  <layout type="general">
    <section id="symbols0" type="non-sloppy">

by the way if you press the symbols button (123?) while pressing shift, and then use the arrows without lifting the finger from where shift was you can select text

EDIT: don't do it. It will work, but it'll stay like that until reboot

can we somehow create half sized keys? in both ways - high and wide. any of it would be OK to try sth. Spacer is half of button, why not button itself.

anyway, I added those arrows (4 or 2, depending on amount of space) to ecery toolbar in system - it is in IM, messages, mails and so on. so there is no need to add it to main KB.

I'll maybe add them to both sides of SPACE button, as there are ´ and ˇ buttons for ľščťžýáíúď and so on... I can merge then to one to free some space... Ofcourse I am talking about SK and CZ keyboards.

You can style buttons with css. I don't know if you can do it inline, the documentation just says css.

I'm talking about this:

<!ATTLIST row
height (small | medium | large | x-large | xx-large) "medium"
fixed (true | false) "false">

<!ATTLIST key
style (normal | special | deadkey) "normal"
width (small | medium | large | x-large | xx-large | stretched) "medium"
fixed (true | false) "false"
rtl (true | false) "false"
id CDATA #IMPLIED

about that parameter SMALL

mesinput KB with any arrows was not ever working for moving cursor in text.

just after updating to PR1.2 the toolbar one is working or above mentioned action="left"

I don't know exactly but if you read the guide in post #1 you may find something. I understood that you can adjust what "small" means with css.

i know what that means

but I was just not able to create the small button in any way

it messed up whole keyboard row (or all of them) when used as parameter.

Maybe you can make a new definition mysmall that corresponds to you own size
