Virtual keyboard language menu

[Salamek]

I try to customize virtualkeyboard plugin.
On Kiosk virtualkeyboard, the default language selected depends current locale. So I can change it easily.

But there is other languages which are not the same depending locale selected (hrvatski Indonesia, german,etc…)

I try to limit to French and English US. It seems me it’s a qt option, but I’m not sure if it’s possible to specify directly into your project with variables.

            First test:

I try to add this parameter to limit language into /etc/chromium-kiosk/config.yml

EXTRA_ENV_VARS:

QT_VIRTUALKEYBOARD_LAYOUTS: 'fr,en_US'



But not working.



            Second test

Same case into /etc/environment
QT_VIRTUALKEYBOARD_LAYOUTS="fr,en_US"

QT_VIRTUALKEYBOARD_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=fr

Do you know how to customize keyboard without change source?

My goal is to have 2 languages and Fr as default.

You want to exclude some layouts ?

You want to exclude some layouts ?

This is issue created from email that was sent to me by a user, this user wants to limit virtual keyboard to only use defined locales/layouts...

It's "funny" I have the exact same usecase right now.

I found a way to do it but I have no idea if it is the right way:

• Define the path in which layouts are going to searched:

qputenv("QT_VIRTUALKEYBOARD_LAYOUT_PATH", ":/layouts/");

• Put the locales you want inside the folder / resources folder (you can get them from here )

Yea that sounds kinda "hacky", QT_VIRTUALKEYBOARD_AVAILABLE_LANGUAGES='fr,en_US does not work?

Where do you get this environment variable from ? I haven't found it in Qt's documentation nor anywhere on the web ?
