[Anubad] [GSOC 12]Project Ideas for New Keyboard layout

[sharad dixit]

Very true Sankarshan, It's fairly annoying many indian laguage keyboard
doesn't take advantage
of the screen real estate .In addition  to above requirement i am thinking
some more feature's  like :

   - Longpress enter to access smileys, and longpress other buttons for
   accented letters, numbers and symbols
   - Select a base letter, slide across the popup keyboard to select and
   input the desired character.
   - For physically handicapped ,Bangla Phonetic Keyboard option
   - Accurate and precise Bangla word suggestions


    Is my ideas have usefulness in your project development.Looking forward
to suggestions and comments.

Thanks
