Tap on the string_plus button to create an additional keyboard. Select the language for that keyboard from the set of available languages and press ok. A keyboard with that language setting and with its default appearance and word list (if available) will be created and added to the list of your keyboards.

Simply tap on one of the three buttons on the keyboard set to change its related attribute. You can change colors, the language, or the word list of any of your keyboards.

colors_n_string:

Tap on the keyboard icon of any of your keyboards and use the colors_n_string screen to pick a pre-designed theme for your keyboard, or use the sliders to created a new color scheme for your keyboard. You can change the color of the background, the main letters, the less frequent letters, or the special characters to any color you wish. Once you are satisfied, press the back button to get back to languages_n_keyboards_string screen.

Keyboard Language

Each keyboard's language is determined when you first Add it. To change a keyboards language, simly add a new keyboard with the language you want, then delete the other, unwanted one.

If you wish, you can have two keyboards with the same base language with different colors and word lists. For example, you can have two English keyboards one using English word list, and the other one using French word list. This way, when you switch keyboard, the letter patterns will remain the same, but the word prediction would be based on French words.

Word Lists:

You can change the word list of any keyboard to any available word list. Simply tap on the button located on the right side of the keyboard set. A list of installed word lists will be presented for you to choose from. You can also elect to download and install additional word lists from Google Play.

If a word list button appears in red, it means that that word list is not currently installed. Simply tap on that red button and follow the instructions to download and install that module. After you install the module, you need to re-visit Languages and keyboards screen to complete the installation.

Once you install the wordlist from a module, you can safely uninstall the module itself from your device.

Changing keyboards on the fly:

Once you have more than one keyboard installed, you can issue a left drag-and-return m command starting from the 123/ABC button to change from one keyboard to the next.

Deleting a Keyboard:

To delete a keyboard, simply tap on the delete_string button and select the keyboard you want to delete from the list.

Using Word Prediction

To use Word prediction, you need to have a suitable language word list associated with the keyboard you are using and also have enabled Word Prediction by checking the checkbox on languages_n_keyboards_string screen.

Word prediction also tries to find matching words even when you misspell a few letters of the target word. up to three consecutive misspelled letters are ignored and the matching words are retrieved.

After you enable word prediction and enter a few letters, MessagEase displays words that begin with those letters. To do so MessagEase uses two word lists, the language word list attached to the keyboard and the user word Lists.

You can change the number of letters it takes for Word Prediction to start by moving the slider onset_number_of_chars_string in settings_string > languages_n_keyboards_string

Words from the user word list appear in white on the Preview Panel. You can remove these words from your word list by double clicking on them.

Specify one word per line. If you enter your words in lowercase, then they would follow the capitalization of the word you type. But if you word entry is capitalized then it will show up as-is on the panel.

When Word Prediction is enabled you can temporarily suspend its operation by closing the Preview Panel. To do so, drag down g on the Hand key. Similarly, a drag up c on the Hand key opens the Preview Panel.
