smiley face key in Qt Virtual Keyboard

I am using Qt VirtualKeyboard on a raspberry pi and it is working fine for most part but when the keyboard appears, it is shown as:

enter image description here

Now there is this smiley face key on the bottom right and I am not sure what I need to do to get rid of it. I copied a style file which I can load but it does not seem to appear anywhere in the style description. I also looked in the textfield qml hints here (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-controls-textfield.html#inputMethodHints-prop) and it does not seem to have anything.

Solution

  • I think you need to remove the Key from the last KeyboardRow in symbols.qml:

    Key {
    key: 0xE000
    text: ":-)"
    alternativeKeys: [ ";-)", ":-)", ":-D", ":-(", "<3" ]
}

    Then the code will look like this:

    KeyboardRow {
    keyWeight: 154
    SymbolModeKey {
        weight: 217
        displayText: "ABC"
    }
    ChangeLanguageKey {
        weight: 154
    }
    SpaceKey {
        weight: 864
    }
    Key {
        key: Qt.Key_Period
        text: "."
        alternativeKeys: ".,"
    }
    HideKeyboardKey {
        weight: 204
    }
}

    You may also need to ajust the weight properties if the keys look too big or small afterwards.
