How do you make an original keyboard ?

[morita]

Hello.

I would like to make an original keyboard like:

I would like to make original allocated buttons including an original layout.

I have already made an original button file which have an original layout.

When I searched on the net, I thought I could make that using "Virtual Keyboard".

But I do not know whether I can make that because I am a beginner about Virtual Keyboard.

Is it possible to make using "Virtual Keyboard" ? If it is possible , could you tell me how to make that ?

Virtual Keyboard

This is QML only as far as I know.
What do you mean by "original" keyboard and "original" layout?
What is "original button file"?
It is really not clear what you actually did.

Thank you for reply. I mean I would like to customize a keyboard like the image.

Now I searched "inputPanel". But I guess I cannot customize a keyboard using "inputPanel".

Because "inputPanel" is an element of default keyboard that Qt company provides.

using virtual keybord or make a user defined keybord.

1: get the class name of component
2: if the class name of component equal what's your want to input, popup the keyboard.
3: send keycode, the component which is focused can get the keyval

Thank you for reply. I would like to use the "virtual keyboard" because I want to use Japanese..
And I would like to customize button allocation and button layout.
I have already done button layout file .

Do you think it possible to use the "KeyboardStyle" and achieve my goal ?
My goals are :

1. to make layout I want to make like the picture.
2. to make button allocation I want to make.
3. to use Japanese on keyboard.

Now I am trying to use "KeyboardStyle". But I have problem about :

qrc:/QtQuick/VirtualKeyboard/content/components/BaseKey.qml:193: ReferenceError: keyboard is not defined
qrc:/QtQuick/VirtualKeyboard/content/components/Key.qml:46: ReferenceError: keyboard is not defined

I am stuck in above the problem. Maybe I need to make some enviroment configuration...

@morita U should select virtual keyboard when u install Qt. (or do not skip virtual keyboard when crosscompile Qt source code in ARM platform)

@morita hi Morita, I want to create my layout and I have the same error as you had, so my question is, did you solve the problem? because I have a fresh Qt6 installation and I can use Virtual Keyboard with Input panel, but when I want to use Key, NumberKey, or BaseKey it gives me the same errors that you had? so I would be grateful if you can guide me.
