Version 1.54 of the Virtual Keyboard Interface Javascript Released

Nov 26

Today I uploaded version 1.54 of the Virtual Keyboard Interface Javascript. In this version, I've finally pulled the script out of the Internet Explorer days and deleted a lot of now-useless compatibility code. I've also added a new function on second-click of the keyboard layout selector that shows all the layout names in English and sorts the list alphabetically; giving you two ways to find the layout you're looking for.

But the major addition came from GitHub contributor VitaJane who updated the Korean keyboard layout and added an input algorithm specific to Korean keyboards that allows you to build full Korean characters (Hangul) out of the individual "letters" or "jamo" characters on the actual keys.

While the Virtual Keyboard Interface has several pictorial script keyboards like Chinese and Japanese, they aren't really fully functional since whatever combining they do depends on the browser and operating system. With this addition however, the Korean keyboard is now fully functional, as any complete Korean Hangul can be typed!

While this change adds quite a bit of code to the script, it's been grouped in such a way so that you can easily delete the block referencing the Korean functions, and the script will work as it did before.

Thanks very much to VitaJane for this fantastic update! You can check out the Virtual Keyboard Interface script at the project page, or on GitHub.
