Re: Keyboard documentation

 

Hi!
I am also looking for some documentation, because I want to create a Romanian layout. I haven't begun working on it, yet, but I was wondering what those database_(language code).db files are? Are they for words? If so how can I generate them?
PS: This might be helpful as well.
