Aquamail with Anysoft keyboard and more than one aditional keyboard layout

[diqua01]

Hello,
since some recent version of aquamail, I don't get my standard keyboardlayout (Deutsch/Schweizerdeutsch) when composing a new mail (focus is in the "to/cc/bcc" field). It's allways the second aditional keyboardlayout (Math layout) of Anysoft keyboard. See screenshot of active layouts of.Anysoft keyboard).

I allways have to switch the keyboardlayout manually to have right characters. In the other fields (subject/textarea) the keyboardlayout keeps the correct one. If I klick in the "to/cc/bcc" field, the keyboardlayout switchrd to Math layout.

Is there a way to define the standard keyboard layout for the "to/cc/bcc" field?

The only thing I can think of is --

-- the "from/cc/bcc" fields are marked as "intended for entering email addresses" (as opposed to "intended for text").

android:inputType="textEmailAddress|textMultiLine"

This is a standard Android thing, and the soft keyboard app can read this "input type" and adjust itself appropriately.

For example, if a field is marked as "for numbers", the soft keyboard will have only digits. This is done by the keyboard app itself.

In other words, please report this to AnySoft support.

In confirmation to that, I can say that Multyling Keyboard (a different app) seems to behave correctly. I don't have a separate choice for math layout, but no language switching happens by itself.

(As an aside: I actually would prefer if it automatically switched to English from non-English, as all e-mail  addresses and all my contacts are in English,  but I don't expect that, because it would break the expected behavior for people with other languages in Contacts. )

Re: Multyling Keyboard (a different app) seems to behave correctly

So do Google Keyboard (which has a distinct entry for Swiss German) and SwiftKey (which does not), just the ones I've tried.

And yes, apps don't control what soft keyboards *do* or how they *look*, they only "hint at" what they need (input type: text, phone, email, web address, etc.)
