added Polish keyboard layout based on language letter frequency as per https://www.sttmedia.com/characterfrequency-polish
with accent characters kept together with base ones.

files added: ./flickboard/app/src/main/java/se/nullable/flickboard/model/layouts/PLMessagEase.kt

I am not really a coder and had no previous exposure to kotlin.

Hey! If this is a layout developed from scratch (rather than derived from an official ME layout) then please give it a distinct name. For example, PLRmitura.

Thanks for having a look. Layout is overwhelmingly original ME one with some minor changes.
As per your suggestion named it MessageEasyAlternative1
Regards

Sorry about the slow response, but I have a few questions here:

  1. Are both Pl and PlAlt1 needed? What's the difference? Can the naming of alt1 be clarified to describe that difference instead?
  2. The reference to https://www.sttmedia.com/characterfrequency-polish implies that it's based on your research, rather than copying the ME layout? This is hard for me to check myself since I no longer have access to ME.

To clarify, original layouts are encouraged! I'd just like to differentiate the labels between ME layouts and "ME-style" layouts.

Hi Natalie,
Thanks for getting back to me.
re1 don't think PL and PLalt1 are needed, I just tried to play along after all its your project.
re2 Getting an accent char on most keyboards is achieved by long press of base char. This is what I attempted to do with with my layout variant. Attached screen dump for both for comparison.
Regards,
