in ASU (2008.08) you hav the qtopia keyboard - not illume. they are
surprisingly similar in default mode. illume's has 2 menus (top left/right)
top-left is for selecting word matches and changing dictionary files, the
top-right for selecting keyboard layout. slide down for enter, up to switch
layouts left for backspace and right for "finish word, select default match and
add a space". that's illume's keyboard and it's used in FSO. 2008.08 is another
matter.

(illume's keyboard allows you to create your own custom layouts, add lots of
keys with accented characters, write your own flat-files for dictionaries etc.).

so the problem is there is a huge volume of confusion regarding "keyboards"
right now.
