Does the "mini keyboard" have a "tab" key?
Reason: "tab" (under X) is the key to move from panel to panel.

Edit:
And the "space" key, which checks / un-checks check boxes.
Added a "tab" and "space" key:

Super!

Now if twobob can figure out how to wire it into his set of interface things. . . .
We are a big step forward towards supporting both keyboard and non-keyboard Kindles.

some shots of it in action. still don;t have the event piping sorted. suppose I will have to dig around in SDL (again)

I do have different modes sorted though with nice tidy menus

Will be great when it's hooked up

Looking like real progress.

Note:
The button labeled: "kill-key" might be a bit mis-leading in a FPS game.

Okay. So call me stupid but I think I get it.

SDL needs to be serviced by the matchbox events. Thus SDL is in fact the application that needs the code that supports matchbox in evilvte shuffling over to SDL.

Will think on that now. Noted likely locations for that code in
/~/GIT/k5ctng/output/build/sdl-1.2.15/src/video/x11/SDL_x11video.c

Quote:
/* Set the input hints so we get keyboard input */
if(!hints) {
hints = XAllocWMHints();
hints->input = True;
hints->flags = InputHint;
}
XSetWMHints(SDL_Display, WMwindow, hints);
XFree(hints);
and

Quote:
/* Update the internal keyboard state */
X11_SetKeyboardState(SDL_Display, NULL);

/* When the window is first mapped, ignore non-modifier keys */
if ( !current->w && !current->h ) {
Uint8 *keys = SDL_GetKeyState(NULL);
int i;
for ( i = 0; i < SDLK_LAST; ++i ) {
switch (i) {
case SDLK_NUMLOCK:
case SDLK_CAPSLOCK:
case SDLK_LCTRL:
case SDLK_RCTRL:
case SDLK_LSHIFT:
case SDLK_RSHIFT:
case SDLK_LALT:
case SDLK_RALT:
case SDLK_LMETA:
case SDLK_RMETA:
case SDLK_MODE:
break;
default:
keys[i] = SDL_RELEASED;
break;
}
}
}
will explore more tomorrow. Thanks for listening. feel free to help out with suggestions thanks

Just tried to launch it on my Paperwhite, the xterm itself seems to work fine, but there's no keyboard. Obviously I don't use GUI launcher, so I had to start it through SSH, here's what I get:
Code:
[root@kindle bin]# sh xterm.sh
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default
/mnt/us/xterm/bin/xterm: Failed to open input method
Any ideas as to what went wrong? I understand this hasn't been adapted or tested for Paperwhite yet, but maybe we could figure something out.

This messages should not be fatal. Maybe keyboard is hidden behind main window?
Is matchbox-keyboard running?
What is the output of "xwininfo -root -children | grep matchbox"?
You could try running xterm and then matchbox-keyboard separately. Or just running keyboard alone to see if it works. Look into xterm.sh for proper commands.

So apparently it works, but I can't see it. I tried launching the keyboard alone, same deal. Is there some way to force it to the front?

I put matchbox keyboard on the same layer as native KT keyboard. Maybe it is not enough for PW.
On KT native keyboard's window title is:
Code:
[root@kindle root]# xwininfo -root -children |grep kb
     0x1000003 "L:KB_N:keyboard_KBS:H_LanH:260_DM:KB_PorH:275": ("kb" "Kb")  600x275+0+525  +0+525  MapState=IsViewable
     0x1000001 "kb": ("kb" "Kb")  10x10+10+10  +10+10  MapState=IsUnMapped
What about PW?
(open native onscreen keyboard before running the command)

Just tried it, opened the native keyboard and launched matchbox-keyboard (I still can't see it). Here's the output:
Code:

Thanks for the info. It seems that handling KB layer changed. As I don't have PW I cannot test it, but I will try to move keyboard to another layer and reposition it properly. I will get back to you when I have some test files.

Please replace matchbox-keyboard binary with attached one and run xterm.sh. I put matchbox keyboard on dialog layer and move it to the bottom of the screen. Maybe it will work on PW.

Thanks, I poked around a bit, and here's what I found: I can launch matchbox-keyboard alone and it's visible on the home screen. But here's the problem: when I run xterm.sh, matchbox-keyboard is obscured by xterm window, which is fullscreen
Code:
[root@kindle bin]# xwininfo -root -children | grep term
     0x160000d "L:A_N:application_ID:XTerm_PC:N_O:URL": ("kterm" "XTerm")  758x1024+0+0  +0+0  MapState=IsViewable
I tried adding -geometry argument to xterm.sh so it goes like this:
Code:
${EXTENSION}/bin/xterm -name kterm -geometry 126x52 &
${EXTENSION}/bin/matchbox-keyboard &
but it didn't change anything.
