double press on dot for comma in Russian Keyboard

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I use Samsung Note. Keyboard version 1.27.1145 2011-11-06
Double press on dot for comma will increase the speed of typing, because now we 
have 2 possibillities:
1) long press on dot - its too long
2) shift+dot - often mistakes
or even better will be separate comma and dot like in English version. Mqybe at 
 right of space button (or moove button 'top' to the right, and replace right 
shift with comma).


or maybe in settings config button like circle next to "Fn"

I was mainly trying to reproduce the original layout and not try to 
second-guess the design decisions behind the layout, though I agree that it 
appears odd not to have a comma key directly available.

Are there commonly used hardware keyboards in Russia that do this differently? 
I'm reluctant to make nonstandard changes in the default layout.

Double-pressing "." to generate "," may cause issues, for example a user may be 
trying to actually type multiple periods in a row, and it would also be messy 
to implement, so I'd prefer to avoid that option.

Other than that, I'm hoping to make progress on the long-delayed user 
customizable layouts (issue 13) which would let users make such modifications 
directly.

Yes, #13 - will be great! 
Our hardware keyboards not very comfortabble, because comma appears in text 
more often than dot. there is some articles about it from famous and largest 
russian designer and design studio.
anyway, #13 - will solve that problem.
thanks!

Ok, thanks for clarifying, I'll treat this as a duplicate for #13.
