On-Screen Keyboard Maliit Demoed With Gnome 3

Posted by timothy on from the several-layers-of-the-latest dept.

Developer Jon Nordby has posted a video demo of the on-screen keyboard Maliit — intended "to be the input method project for MeeGo and other GNU/Linux-based embedded/mobile platforms" — working on a tablet running Gnome 3 under Fedora. Nordby mentions that Fedora packages are in the works for those who'd like to try it out. The keyboard looks impressively smooth and flexible (including language-specific character sets); I only wish it had the smooth-swiping predictive ability of keyboards like Swype.

    Try using GNOME 3 to do anything. It totally sucks for everything besides annoying you.
