My suggestion would be to try Maliit [M], a cross graphical user interface toolkit input method framework (comes with a virtual keyboard reference implementation). Within the Maliit framework, error correction/prediction engines can be implemented as plugins. While currently basically developed for MeeGo it is usable in other GNU/Linux distributions as well, there are packages referenced at [P]. Maliit already has connectors to the input method systems of Qt as well as GTK, so e.g. the same virtual keyboard is coming up for programs using any of these toolkits. See also the blog of one of my co-workers at Openismus, Michael [B] :) [M] http://wiki.meego.com/Maliit [P] http://wiki.meego.com/Maliit/ForDevelopers [B] http://taschenorakel.de/tags/meego-input-methods/ Cheers Friedrich -- Desktop Summit 2011 - Berlin, Germany - August 6-12th - www.desktopsummit.org >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
