Sv: New input method demo!

[Mikkel Meyer Andersen]

Hi,

I've also tried to develop a keyboard for finger-use. I started with
developing a dictionary library, and have only made a very simple GUI to use
it.

I haven't seen you keyboard yet, but I'm really looking forward to. In
addition to this, I hope to be able to incorporate the dictionary I've made.

Regards,
Mikkel
