today i connected my #xa2 with #sailfish to the docking station of dell 7400 laptop at work, then got a jabber message, and… i was unable to answer, the onscreen keyboard did not appear. hmmm, i thought, and disconnected it fro usb type c. then the onscreen keyboard appeared. then i thought - may it be, it recognized the keyboard connected to the dock?
and tried to write something with keyboard, - and yes, letters on the screen of xperia appeared.
so sailfish works now almost like a real computer.
before i already created hardware keyboard layouts - i used those with bluetooth keyboards.
i have converted xkb layouts to special qt format.
the only drawback now is that i cannot change the input language with alt+shift or something like that, i need to go to sailfish settings, and change the input language every time. but well, that’s less an issue when i write english, because i have all the symbols at hand, but when i write armenian and need to use the hashtag symbol, i need to switch the keyboard.
