Chinese user reported reboots when switching between EPUB & LRF, did anyone experience it? I suspect it was "fonts too big" but it could be anything... They say it works fine when without PRS+.

Yes. But someone has to write and compile the translator. Ask porkupan (aka boroda) for more details.

"Virtual Keyboard" is one of the planned PRS+ modules. I was going to do it myself, then kravitz came and expressed interest in implementing it (I'd be busy porting stuff to 600/300 in the near future so I anyway won't have time for this), currently he's working on message boxes so I think it won't harm if you give it a try. It will take several iterations to get it right anyway.

Requirements (sort of)
  1. VK will have exclusive access to all keys, until input is either finished (ok button) or canceled (menu button). That's not like it works in dictionary at the moment.
  2. It will be horizontal, not vertical (not to waste space) Users will input keys by entering 2 numbers: row & column
  3. Number of rows displayed will depend on selected keyboard layout
  4. Feedback to user after only the first key was pressed - tbd, at the moment - no feedback
  5. User would be able to switch between layouts by holding numeric buttons
  6. Adding new alphabet based keyboard layout should be as easy as providing array of letters.
  7. Users will be able to enable/disable certain keyboards via PRS+ settings
  8. Shift / Caps Lock tbd (some languages don't need it at all). Probably zoom button.
  9. Joypad left-right should move the caret
  10. Bookmark - backspace, holding bookmark - clear input
  11. Chinese and other hieroglyphic languages - tbd
  12. Preferred way to render the keyboard - setting label values/drawing. If not possible/feasible images could be used.
