Modularize virtual keyboard and add an extension interface
With the extension interface it is possible to add new input
method and/or languages without recompiling the Qt Virtual
Keyboard plugin itself.
The existing input methods are now isolated into plugins.
So installing a new input method is a matter of copying the
corresponding extension plugin to the plugins/virtualkeyboard
directory (and any collateral required by the extension plugin
itself).
This change also renames the HunspellInputMethod to
DefaultInputMethod. This change is necessary because some other
extension plugin may want to provide the default input method
instead.
Implementation plan
===================
[x] Create virtualkeyboard-private module
[x] Create plugin library
[x] Define interface for input method plugin
[x] Define interface for keyboard layouts
[x] Move existing input methods and layouts to plugins
[x] HangulInputMethod
[x] HunspellInputMethod
[x] Maybe create a private library for sharing
between HunspellInputMethod and LipiInputMethod
[x] LipiInputMethod
[x] OpenWnnInputMethod
[x] PinyinInputMethod
[x] T9WriteInputMethod
[x] TCInputMethod
[o] Rename some C++ classes (too generic name?)
[x] Think again replacing the QtVirtualKeyboard namespace
[x] Update documentation
[x] General instructions for creating a plugin
[x] For the C++ interfaces too (previously removed)
[ChangeLog][Important Behavior Changes] Introduce an extension
interface for the virtual keyboard. All the current input methods and
some special keyboard layouts (e.g. Hunspell, OpenWnn, etc.) have been
moved to extensions. The extension interface allows third party to
create a new input method without having to modify or rebuild the
virtual keyboard. In addition, this change makes it possible to add
features and languages independently by copying the desired extension
to the system.
[ChangeLog][Important Behavior Changes] Introduce a virtualkeyboard
module, which can be linked against an extension plugin. This module
provides the C++ API necessary for creating an input method.
[ChangeLog][Important Behavior Changes] Wrap the entire virtual
keyboard API into Qt namespace (e.g. QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE/QT_END_NAMESPACE).
