iLiad xvkbd - a virtual keyboard

yokos · 03-17-2008, 11:08 AM

xvkbd could replace the machtbox keyboard.
The benefits would be:
# no missing keys [ESC, Fn etc.]
# loading of different keyboard layouts [German, Frensh ..]
# word completion
...

Porting isn't finished yet.

Current obstacles are:
# apps starts as fullscreen w/o fluxbox
# loading of of keyboard layouts doesn't work [missing ln -s or correct option, I did nasty copy & paste of binary and config files]
# usage of hacked libX11 only [some native refresh in src needed]

Excellent!

I wonder if you renamed it to matchbox-keyboard and overwrote the binary included with the iLiad, if the on screen button would work to launch and hide it.

Yes, I thought of something like this. A ln -s to the run.sh.

Code:

xvkbd: app-default file "XVkbd-german" not installed

The configuration file _local/home/xvkbd/XVkbd get's loaded, but the keyboard layouts which live in the same folder not.

This makes me crazy. I don't what's going wrong.
