[OSK] "Next" key is too big for keyboard and doesn't translate well

[Bill Filler]

In the address book, we replace the enter button with the text "Next" as it automatically navigates you to the next field.

A better solution would be to use an icon that represents Next (some kind of forward arrow).

--------------UX comment-------------

Seems to be fixed, tested on arale 15.04 (r75)

consider using go-next.svg from Ubuntu icon theme

[Michael Sheldon (michael-sheldon)]

From the keyboard size it looks like we should reduce the font size to match the SymbolSwitch key, this will allow for another character or two (this might not be the final solution for the address book's use-case, but will be of use for other applications that want to change the text here).

[Olga Kemmet (olga-kemmet)]

The go-next.svg is not the correct metaphor in this context.
There are two possible solutions here:
1. We allow text to scale for long translations and additionally, if a translation is too long it can be abbreviated where possible.
2. We use the standard RETURN key which will jump from one filed to an other is user taps on it.

Fix committed into lp:~phablet-team/address-book-app/staging at revision 317, scheduled for release in address-book-app, milestone Unknown

[Bill Filler (bfiller)]

Please implement suggestion 2 from olga, just use the standard return key please, not the "Next" button
