I have a running executable version of Matchbox Keyboard from DR1000 (got it from version 1.7 ?? don't remember). There you have a complete layout + xml configuration. Now what is required is substituting the standard keyboard with this one (and not launching on top). I can post the sources if you want.
Hi Dima,

I modified the erkeybd component and defined my own xml-format. I did not look at the matchbox format, thanks for pointing me to it. I already did some small experiments on the emulator and can reproduce the standard keyboard with a xml-file . For some initial testing I created a azerty- and 'abc'-layout. It could help if you would send me an example of a russian layout to see how my code handles these non-western-european characters.

The code has some problems (and some limitations) so I still need to work on it for some time.
