Widget + Keyboard
-
Hi :),
I was first looking for an alternative because it looked like the app was not supported.
Good thing I haven't really found anything yet because there is a new version and I'm looking forward to downloading it. (The beta is unfortunately full).There are two things that I still have as a question.
- widget. Is there in the new version also the possibility to create real widgets that you can place on the homescreen? That would be really cool. Currently only one widget can be used and that only in this side channel.
- the keyboard is QWERTY. But I would like to have a German layout (Qwertz with äöüß). How can this be realized?
I have seen so far only that you can create scripts.

I have now access to the beta.
Both features are not available.
Is it possible to send a feature request? -

The widget in Pythonista is of the old (iOS 8) type, and cannot be placed on the homescreen. I might make a new widget at some point, but the existing code is fundamentally not compatible with the new(-ish) widgets that were added in iOS 15.

I have seen so far only that you can create scripts.The keyboard only supports the QWERTY layout. It would be quite a lot of work to implement all the different international layouts, and it isn't meant to replace your main keyboard anyway, so it didn't seem worth the effort.

@omz thank you for the answer :)
Home widget would be nice. Currently I use scriptable.
Because of the qwerty keyboard. It would be just nice to replace the keyboard with your own gui.
So you don‘t need to implement querz.
And every user can add buttons to it how they like.
Just as an idea! -

Not sure that this answers to your request, but you can find here a little script written for @brumm showing you could use two different keyboards in the same gui on two different TextFields. One is English and the other is Cyrillic, but it could easily be changed in German

@cvp thanks. Yes this would be awesome. But i have no idea how to add more views to the keyboard. There is currently only:
- Shortcuts
- Qwerty Keyboard
Yes i can change the view in the shortcuts menu.
But can i add my complete custom view?So Qwerty => replace with my custom keyboard with a toggle button so i can show the shortcut.
And sry i'm completly new to pythonista ^^"

@lublak sorry, I don't understand your request. What do you call here "shortcuts "?
-
@lublak You can show a custom user interface in the qwerty area, try the "Emoji Paint" script, for example. This isn't really meant to implement keyboard layouts though, and implementing all the different touch gestures would be quite difficult.
