The work on Greek support for squeekeyboard has completed. The el.yaml file works fine; it is fully functional. So I would like to submit it. I did not change any dimensions. I just rearranged a little bit to keep most lines to a max of 10 symbols.
Dear Dorota please find the current file at the same link I gave you in the personal message I sent yesterday.
Do you put comments in these files? I only ask for the case that some user may have some trouble to know who to talk to.
Finally another feature request which should be simple in squeekeybord, is that a double click on keys with a locking action (such as Shift_L) should lock the view in place for more than one character.
If you require another procedure for submitting please advice me.
I thank the Spanish user for his work.
I made some small changes to make the Italian keyboard (better than the one that currently appears with Qemu image) and I requested the merge.
Greetings.

I guess the Spanish keyboard is finished with my last commit, at least by the time being.
I’ve got a question for you
Why when I update the file /home/purism/.local/share/squeekboard/keyboards/es.yaml nothing happens in the keyboard after restart it? that use to work few days ago and all the keyboard keys are dark now since last update.
Yes, I haven’t had a chance to get back to this but the activity with the other languages has been exciting and helpful to watch. I will try to work on this later this evening.
I was originally concerned about how to test my changes since I don’t have a DevKit but there has been some guidance on that now and I do have an emulator setup.
Can someone point me to the correct way of submitting? Because maybe after I see the keyboard on the phone it may need some small adjustment. This time it was Dorota who added the file I gave to the project.
I will also add multiaccented Greek (polytonic) when the long key-presses are implemented. (each vowel has many accented variations and can not be done using more views; it would be too complicated for the user).
Check the Spanish keyboard, it’s a lot better now, if you remove/add what you need for Italian It will look more ‘standardized’.
I guess almost all the especial characters you need in italian are already in, because I added support for Catalan and both languages share some characters aswell.
@dcz I’ve committed my initial stab at a Russian layout above. There’s been a lot of change in the last 2 weeks with the removal of corner_radius and such so I where I had started from the nb.yaml initially I’ve now based this on the more recent work @uzanto did for Spanish. I still need to test this and there are probably some things there still that don’t make sense for Russian, but I wanted to let you know my progress on this.
Once I’ve had a chance to test and tweak it, I’ll submit a MR.
Yes, good eye. That is missing as well as ё. In the layout I was referencing (BB10 / Z10) those symbols were entered by long press on ь and e, however as discussed above, there is no “long press” feature in squeekboard yet. I think I will need to do something like @uzanto did for Spanish with a special button to show a new view with these symbols, but since there are only 2 of them that seems like overkill. The other option might be to try and squeeze these into the numbers or symbols view.
