[osk] Hebrew symbols revised

[Yaron]

I've just noticed the hebrew-symbols.xml file and I have some corrections.

The New Sheqel sign should be in higher priority:
        <key>
          <binding label="₪" />
        </key>
        <key>
          <binding label="$" />
        </key>
        <key>
          <binding label="€" />
        </key>
        <key>
          <binding label="£" />
        </key>
        <key>
          <binding label="¥" />
        </key>
        <key>
          <binding label="%" />
        </key>

Next there are these changes:
Adding Geresh (U+05F3) - Often used.
Adding Gershayim (U+05F4) - Often used (for acronyms mostly).

I would push apostrophe and quotes down the hierarchy in favor of these symbols.

Please don't push any changes yet, I need a review from the Israeli community.

Can you confirm these changes?

[Yaron (sh-yaron)]

Yes, confirmed.

I was thinking about overloading another character on this button:

CharKey { id: dotKey; label: "."; shifted: "."; extended: ["?", "!"]; extendedShifted: ["?", "!"]; anchors.right: enterKey.left; }

http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/5be/index.htm

CharKey { id: dotKey; label: "."; shifted: "."; extended: ["?", "!","־"]; extendedShifted: ["?", "!","־"]; anchors.right: enterKey.left; }

Do you think it would be possible?

Kind regards,
Yaron Shahrabani.

Hi Yaron,

 That sounds like a good idea to me; I'll add it to the current branch for those changes now.

Thanks!

[Yaron (sh-yaron)]

Thanks! That would be awesome, there is a new keyboard layout for Hebrew,
this keyboard best complies with this standard, better than most mobile
platforms :)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

  [ Michael Sheldon ]
  * Enable the language menu when single pressing the language switcher
    button and add a settings item to the bottom of the language
    switcher.
  * Add numbers to the extended keys in the top row and extra
    punctuation on existing punctuation keys. Also adds the new sheqel
    symbol to the Hebrew keyboard and ensures that the Hebrew keyboard
    still displays keys when in capital mode. (LP: #1233578)
  * Fix incorrect Russian characters and layout (LP: #1321908)
  * Implement swiping behaviour for the selection of extended keys and
    fix popover position when selecting the same extended key after
    changing orientation.
