Now we use a keyboard layout is called alphapad_zh_cn, but this is closer to the original intelligent ABC input method, input Simplified Chinese accuracy, will be much worse, and does not support continuous input, there are other controls can be better input Simplified Chinese characters? [image]

Hello @jayD , It is not clear for me, what limitation are you facing off(?), but if the required functionality cannot be reached with the mapp View custom keyboard, then maybe you can think about WDTC → Login | B&R Industrial Automation

Sorry I can’t access the link you provided, can you send it again and I’ll see how to use WDTC

@jayD , you need to be logged in. Some “intro” regarding WDTC is also mentioned here in Community: [image] Automation Studio 6 and mappView WDTC Release Announcements [AS6Release] Even though it’s still summer, a time for rest and vacations, I am very pleased…

Additional info about WDTC (how to,.training,…etc) will be published here in community soon. Stay tuned.

Hi @jayD , I moved your question from the general forum to this new category because you were advised to use WDTC. Have you had time to get some experiences with WTDC you can share with us?

Is there a better keyboard add-ON that allows me to type Simplified Chinese better?
