Title:
Numerical keyboard wish
Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I wonder if anyone will support my idea of creating a numerical
keyboard option as we used to have in standard phones. What for?
1. Did You know there are blind people who are able to write a message? Did
You ever wrote a SMS message while driving a car/running or walking/ under the
table on a meeting/at school without looking on the screen? Yes, it was
possible. Now as we have smartphones we are forced to look on the screen to tap
the right "button".
Now if we had the proper cover for our phones, a simple 10 stickers or a
prepaired foil for the screen, we would still be able to write only by
touching, without having to look. But there is no proper keyboard layout.
2. I have a Nexus 5 device with Android. While turning on the phone
with inserted SIMcard, we have to provide PIN number. Do You know Your
PIN number? I didn't. Ubuntu phone forced me to remind it to myself.
Why? Android displays the 0-9 numerical keyboard with the alphabet
under the numbers, so that I do not have to know that for one of my
phones the PIN is 6529 one for another 9274. If I have letters on my
keyboard I can keep in mind 4-letter words, not numbers. I'm not an
Android developer but I think there is a reason why they display the
numerical PIN-keyboard this way.
