Added tamil layout

[ms-jagadeeshan]

Added a tamil layout. The layout looks better with 0.8 scale. Is there any way to it automatically when selecting keyboard?
One more question, is there any way to add transliteration layout?
Thank you very much for creating this project, i have been using unexpected keyboard from its first release.

It's probably better if all dependent forms (ா etc.) are accessible directly and independent forms (அ etc.) are accessible through swipes, somewhat like InScript layout.

(Ideally there would be automatic conversion using composing text, but we don't have that in Unexpected Keyboard)

[ms-jagadeeshan]

okay, this layout have all dependent and independent forms.

Awesome, thanks! The layout looks very nice.

You mean the size of the symbols ? There's several ways but I think doing that globally in KeyValue is the one that will require the less amount of maintenance. I've implemented it and pushed to your branch, what do you think ?

Like for the numpad for example ? No this is not possible currently. What would be yur use case ?

yeah i meant the symbol size, now the letters look better

Transliteration layout i mean, generating tamil text from english , for example a becomes அ , aa becomes ஆ , ka becomes க etc

[Julow]

Transliteration is not possible currently. Would you be interested in implementing it ?

[Julow]

Thanks for this nice contribution, let's merge!

I pushed to your branch to resolve the conflicts and some other changes.

[ms-jagadeeshan]

Yeah, I am interested to implement, i will gothrough how other keyboards implement and you could also guide me with the approach and resources.

I've started doing something similar in #594

KeyEventHandler receives all the keys that are pressed and sends the commands to the text box (eg. commitText).
This patch adds Autonormalization, which intercepts the text before it is sent (when _autonorm.typed(text) returns true) and uses Android's _ic.setComposingText to be able to change the text that was already typed into the text box.
The part that uses Normalizer2 should be removed.
