This post was previous published at blog.rgaiacs.com. Some links might got broken during the conversion from reStructuredText to Markdown.

Although there still many important features to add and minor fixes I would like to make available the first "all-in-one" prototype of the math virtual keyboard.

Extra Patch

Last week I wrote about the prototype that use the IME Switch Key <../03/flatfish_and_la_tex> and this "all-in-one" prototype join the previous layouts into one and add some changes into apps/keyboard/js/keyboard.js that request some conversation with Keyboard App owners and Firefox OS UX team.

How to Test

Clone my fork of Gaia and move to gsoc-v1 tag. :

$ git clone https://github.com/r-gaia-cs/gaia.git
$ cd gaia
$ git checkout gsoc-v1

With the device connect and recognize:

$ GAIA_KEYBOARD_LAYOUTS=en,latex PRODUCTION=1 NOFTU=1 REMOTE_DEBUGER=1 make reset-gaia

Note

If you are using Flatfish, you need to prepend GAIA_DEVICE_TYPE=tablet at the last command and disable the vertical homescreen.
