Mobile/Tablet Layout
The NTL OneKey mobile/tablet keyboard is not constrained by physical keyboard layouts, so its layout differs from the desktop keyboard layout. However, it achieves a similar design goal, enabling users to input most New Tai Lue alphabetic characters with a tap (or long-press) of a single key.
For any key which has a gray dot in the upper-right corner, the user can input at least one other character through a long-press of that key. For example, a long-press of the ‘ᦀ’ key allows the user to input ‘ᦁ’, a long-press of the ‘¥’ key (in the numeric layer) allows the user to input ‘₭’ or ‘฿’, etc.
