Successfully removing keys from the Qt virtual keyboard, sort of.

[Circuits]

The following code allows me to remove the emoticons key and the language key from the keyboard:

        property var keyboardLayout: virtualKeyboard.keyboard.layout
        
        function disableKey(parent, objectText) {
            var obj = null
            if (parent === null)
                return null
            var children = parent.children
            for (var i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
                obj = children[i]
                if (obj.text === objectText && obj.toString().substring(0, 7) === "BaseKey") {
                    obj.enabled = false
                    obj.visible = false
                }
                obj = disableKey(obj, objectText)
                if (obj)
                    break
            }
            return obj
        }
        
        function findChildByProperty(parent, propertyName, propertyValue, compareCb) {
            var obj = null
            if (parent === null)
                return null
            var children = parent.children
            for (var i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
                obj = children[i]
                if (obj.hasOwnProperty(propertyName)) {
                    if (compareCb !== null) {
                        if (compareCb(obj[propertyName], propertyValue))
                            break
                    } else if (obj[propertyName] === propertyValue) {
                        break
                    }
                }
                obj = findChildByProperty(obj, propertyName, propertyValue, compareCb)
                if (obj)
                    break
            }
            return obj
        }
        
        onKeyboardLayoutChanged: {
            if(keyboardLayout !== ""){
                var ChangeLanguageKey= findChildByProperty(virtualKeyboard.keyboard, "objectName", "changeLanguageKey", null)
                if(ChangeLanguageKey){
                    ChangeLanguageKey.visible=false
                }
                if (keyboardLayout !== "") {
                    disableKey(virtualKeyboard.keyboard, ':-)')
                }
            }
        }

sort of... The problem is that both keys will return when I click the &123 key and then click the 1/2 key. I believe that is the shift key on the alternative keys page. Would it be possible to eliminate the language key and the emoticon key completely? Is there a better way to remove keys?

@raven-worx Yes I have read that before. It seems to suggest that I would need to import all 43 layouts (if I want each language) and customize them each individually, is that correct?

yes, i am not aware of another way to achieve this
