I don;t think the OSK layout should really be set by the text input itself. Would you really use different language per each text input in the same application? I don't think it would make sense. The user won't necessarily use different OSK layout in the same app, it's rather app specific than text input component specific.

If a field had no context, it would fall back to the generic behaviour - per-c Rationale: you generally change layouts per contact, to write to someone in a different language. --------------------------------------------- This would require deeper functionality between the OSK and SDK / messaging app than we currently have - the proposal sounds good but not much to add from UX POV at this stage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-settings/+bug/1430416/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
