toastal’s Sailfish OS Keyboards

Sailfish OS is anoðer mobile operating system. It uses :t:`Maliit` as ð default keyboard hƿich is supported by ð KDE environment. Ðis has some pretty big limitations hoƿever:

• Keyboards ƿill need to be copied or symlinked into a system folder
• Keyboards do not support ‘special’ keys like Esc, Ctrl, Alt, Meta, Tab, & so on.

Ðat said, you can add custom keyboards in a manner ðat does not fight ƿiþ :t:`Maliit` so long as your filenames do not conflict ƿiþ ð system keyboards.
