sym keyboard
Not terribly useful, but sharing it for fun anyway.
I played even more with the unicode character set and I created a symbol keyboard which is a superset of my previous french and accent keyboards. Warning: I did my best but not all key presses are obvious your brain might hurt. Here are examples of an amazing set of symbols you can now type in on a simple K3 physical keyboard: Thanks again dsmid. |

Some more keyboards (and one problem)
Some more keyboards:
Today, I was bored and obsessed, I decided to go beyond my previous symbol keyboard while ̵p̵l̵a̵y̵i̵n̵̵g̵ ̵w̵i̵t̵h̵ learning the intricacies of the unicode diacritical combining characters so I coded a diacritics keyboard On my PC, even with the Aarial Unicode MS font (one of the the most comprehensive Unicode font) not everything is rendered properly (this is to be expected since "...as of 2010, few applications support correct rendering of such combinations..."). On the Kindle matters are only worse Can't do much with this... But maybe a subset of visible, well placed marks might let you do some artwork like: Zͣͤͧ̈́ͣ҉̨ͅȦ̴̩̱̗͖̰̮͎̻̅͠Ḷ̖̳̽͗̐͘͟G̶̛̝̟͕̓ͪ̂ͅͅO͊ͤͫ̆̕҉̞ ̫͓̠ Nah. Too much to expect from a Kindle: I respectfully named this keyboard zalgo, in memory of that hellish corner of the unicode character set. And one problem: @dsmid nothing very important, but for your consideration: The .kbd entries can't have constructs of the form #xxx=#xxx, They are parsed but considered comments. For example, in my physical keyboard I wanted to use the following to invert the Vol+ and Vol- buttons. Code:
#61445=#v115 #61446=#v114 to set volume to the minimum by coding Code:
#61445#61445=#v114#v114#v114#v114#v114#v114#v114#v114#v114#v114 or alternately mm=#v114#v114#v114#v114#v114#v114#v114#v114#v114#v114 Last edited by PoP; 01-24-2013 at 06:27 AM. Reason: zalgoified text inline (rather than attaching a jpg) |

The same thing (setting volume level to certain value) can be achieved by using launchpad. |

Klingon keyboard.
For good measure included here is a klingon keyboard from its latin transliteration

Mirror keyboard
Recent activity here got me thinking. So, while DSMID is being productive?! I just wasted some time.
Included in my collection, find this new miror keyboard only useful to play with glyphs, while constraining yourself to the limits of the ASCII character set, while anwsering posts from the experimental browser...well, not really but you can try it. db qp |

As Kindle 4 does not have a keyboard, K4 version of physkeyb is not included, keyboard localization is handled differently (by modifying key selection dialogue contents). Physkeyb works by inserting a KeyEvent handler in the chain, even if it would work the same way on K4 (I doubt it), you would need to deobfuscate the framework code first to find the correct names of involved classes and change Physkeyb code accordingly. |

Deobfuscation I can handle.
I knew what the code does as I exploded the installer using kindletool and then just eyeballed the classes in gedit. Even as "compressed classes" the strings gave away what their function were. I did try hunting around for some details on the k4's internal "Key" operation but it seems to be a largely overlooked device. Okay well the OP was busy ripping apart his k4 I believe last night so let's see what some more reading of their efforts today brings. Thanks for taking the time to explain all this. It is appreciated. |

Help again for non-functioning 5 way controller
Hi,
I am new to hacking kindle. But I need to because my kindle keyboard 5 way controller did not move most of the time. It is a hardware problem. All other keys are functioning. I followed the threads from Dsmid responding Telharmonium. I finished jail break it in order to have keys assigned to the 5 way controller. Thanks to Dsmid that i used the version of update_physkeyb_3.4.6-cs-sk_k3g_install.bin. After update ( I am lucky to able to do this once), I can have the following folders: .active-content-data, audible, documents, extensions, keyboard, linkjail, music, system, usbnet. For the keyboard folder, I got cs-sk.kbd, install, kindle.kbd, and layout files. There is no keyboard.txt file. Just wonder what should I do next in order to map the awdxs to 5 way controller. Please help. Thanks. |

Just edit cs-sk.kbd, delete all its contents besides enabledonstart and label keys, change the label to anything you wish and add some 5-way controller alternative keys like this:
Code:
w=#f103 x=#f108 a=#f105 d=#f106 s=#f194 |

Thanks. I get the keyboard assigned to 5 way controller. That works for my kindle. I can enjoy reading via the kindle again.
How to further modify the file if I can type back the small letter axwds in other situations? on and off for this allocation. |
