Hi -

I'm turning my attention to the virtual keyboard again now that My Tetris is finished.

I'd like to have some input on how people would like this to work. It's already been suggested that the keyboard should be switchable from ABC to QWERTY layouts.

Based on the screenshots above, I think that the lower left dummy buttons should be interchangeable with a single button covering the same space, in which we could add context specific stuff such as Agree's mods to improve searching of music etc.

The keyboard already supports SMS style input. I looked into the whole predicitive thing and there are open source dictionaries available to make this easier. There's still quite a bit of thinking left to be done regarding this, and I think it should be more of an auto complete rather than predictive to avoid any issues with T9 (who couldn't be bothered to respond to my mails).

Samsonite has kindly sent me some of his ideas regarding the keyboard and has included an 'accents' button. Being British this is something I hadn't even thought about so, are there any other things like this that should be considered?

Any mock-ups of how you'd like to see this looking would be awesome too.

Cheers,
Lee.
