Onscreen Keyboard- Weekly Report 12

For this last week on the keyboard I have focused on cleaning up some of the
code in keyboard.js and layout.js, as well as getting the Gtk module
working. First off, I wrote a clean-up method for the Gtk module, so that
when the Gtk module is unloaded the private variables will be reset. Then, I
tried to figure out how to set the window repositioning by cursor position
(this could definitely be improved, since I've noticed it's still off by a
few pixels). There was a bit of a problem when I was trying to use the Bus.
proxy_sync method, so as you may have noticed we updated to Vala 0.13.1 in
order to fix these compilation errors. Some of the smaller things I focused
on included getting the message tray button to work properly, since there
were some old bugs cropping back up from the last rebase that I definitely
wanted to squash before today, and pushing a Caribou patch to Eitan.
Additionally, he recently told me that he has updated the caribou module to
include the gtk-module branch (for more information see:
https://github.com/danwinship/caribou).

Today I was looking into the focus changes for showing/hiding the keyboard
properly within the shell, and I think I've gotten it to a good point though
there are definitely more improvements to be made!

This last week of my internship I've gotten the keyboard to a point that I
think could definitely be pushed to GNOME 3.2. It's been wonderful working
with all of you, and I am excited to meet you at the Boston Summit this year
(which I will definitely try to go to). Although, I have put my pencil down
for the moment if there are any questions/concerns with the code that I need
to address before the 3.2 release please feel free to message me at this
email address or find me at #gnome-shell, #gnome-women, #gnome-hackers.

Cheers,

Nohemi Fernandez
