That’s in fact not an OSK issue (how would the OSK know you hit sent?). It’s something we need to deal with on the toolkit/app side.

Yeah, that’s a bit dated. The one in crimson is more recent.

I suspect that a period ‘.’ would work. I’ve heard on a radio program that young people find that jarring, but maybe they can get used to it.

That looks really nice. I would love to try it out on L5 and to extend this.

They’re just not yet used to how periods can be a good thing for flow. They don’t have to be a hard stop to the fun.

I’ve backported 0.34.0 to Byzanium as well (now in byzantium-updates-proposed)

Does the one in crimson have ctrl, alt, arrows, etc in the terminal layout? Just noticed in byzantium these aren’t there.

As far as I know even the default keyboards have such keys on terminal on Byzantium. Don’t you have a >_ button?

Not on this new keyboard that this thread is about.

Ops, missed your point.

The new keyboard is cool. Where can i find the ctrl, alt, and menu (for copy paste) keys?
I had some trouble with emojis where they will not appear in fractal.

No, at least not like the non-stub Squeekboard.
The Terminal layout, which can be accessed by the 
icon on Squeekboard. Note that discrete keys for ‘Ctrl‘ and ‘Alt‘ keys seem to be absent on the draggable top bar for keyboard shortcuts.

There’s a shortcut bar where you can put common shortcuts. See the manpage (man phosh-osk-stub or here) on how to configure them.
With recent GTK4 and phoc you can also rearrange them via d’n’d: Guido Günther: "It's the small things. @rudraps@mastodon.social i…" - Librem Social (not in crimson yet as it needs newer phoc and and gtk4).

Do I see right that those shortcuts can be build by users? I’m asking because we still have no access to Shift-shortcuts (that does not depend on upper characters - like Shift+arrows).

Yes, although reading the provided documentation does not clarify possible valid strings.
Here is a screenshot of executing the above code.
Here is a quick modification of that example code, along with the corresponding screenshot.
gsettings set sm.puri.phosh.osk.Terminal shortcuts "['<ctrl>a', '<ctrl>z', '<ctrl>x', '<ctrl>c', '<ctrl>v']"

Shouldn’t be a problem:
gsettings set sm.puri.phosh.osk.Terminal shortcuts "['<shift>Up', …]"
Note that you need at leat phosh-osk-stub 0.33.0 (crimson, byzantium-updates-propoed) as otherwise it’ll crash due to a GTK bug (which is fixed but not yet in PureOS) and for which the aforementioned versions have a workaround: Details: vk-driver: Don't crash when gdk keysm conversion fails (!107) · Merge requests · Guido Günther / phosh-osk-stub · GitLab
Updates to the manpage are certainly welcome.

Thank you for the screenshot! Looks like that bar is missing for me

If you are on Byzantium, you need to add byzantium-updates-proposed to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Once opened, add this line:
deb https://repo.pureos.net/pureos byzantium-updates-proposed main
Then:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install phosh-osk-stub
If you already installed the package, use sudo apt upgrade phosh-osk-stub for the second command instead.
Here are the possible valid strings for the keyboard shortcuts:
So, as an example:
gsettings set sm.puri.phosh.osk.Terminal shortcuts "['Mail', 'Calculator', 'Documents', 'Tools']"
This allows you to conveniently launch Geary, Calculator, GNOME Files/Nautilus, and Settings, respectively. Note that not all values from the list are properly mapped to a function at this time.

Thanks! Now it works, and emojis in fractal works as well
