Mobian: squeekboard .yaml location

[tookmeayear]

Greetings, new PPP mobian user here!

I'd like to add a custom keyboard layout to include the Shift Button on my keyboard but I can't find where the .yaml layouts are being saved.
Documentation says ~/.local/share/squeekboard/keyboards/ but I don't see a squeekboard file. Note I don't know much.

I thought maybe squeekboard is not installed and tried to built from git. Got stuck in meson _build. I started to download all dependencies it was asking for. Then it asked for gnome so I thought I am doing something wrong here. I've disabled gnome and enabled phosh back again.

Also, I see a squeekboard file in /usr/bin but can't open it. Is that from my attempt to install it?


A thank you to all the developers.

layouts are hardcoded into binaries, however you can edit your own ones and copy to local user directory.

thank you for the response. say I got one I want to use, do I copy it somewhere then gets picked up? I read before the documentation but I couldn't find that location

"The keyboard layouts are located in the subdirectory data/keyboards/ in the .yaml files"

probably here
https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/squ.../keyboards

and location

Code:

~/.local/share/squeekboard/keyboards/
~/.local/share/squeekboard/keyboards/terminal/

and you do not need to reboot, just deactivate keyboard and reactivate.

I can't find those directories on my phone. note I didn't manage to install from the git repo but I assume is already installed

Actually I've just found my answer.. "the folder should be created if doesn't exist". https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9633
