Very nice, typing works much better now. This was the only thing that was 
missing in qtmoko for me.

I only have one problem:

I'm unable to use the special characters like é or à and also symbols (.,?) do 
not work :-(
Somebody ideas to solve this?

I'v also added the information to the faq on the wiki

Kind regards
