No, not in case of the launchpad configuration. From the original launchpad.ini:
Code:
;;; hotkey actions are defined below as <key_sequence> = <action_command>
;;; one action definition per text line.
;;;
;;; <key_sequence> is a blank separated list of key symbolic names. See keydefs.ini for details.
;;; <action_command> describes the action to execute on a particular hotkey sequence.
;;; Currently three type of action supported depending on the first character of the
;;; command string:
;;;  '!' -- shell command. The <action_command> string excluding the leading '!' is sent to the
;;;         system shell, exactly as it was typed from the console.
;;;  '@' -- Kindle Framework script. The <action_command> string excluding the leading '@' is interpreted
;;;         as a name of a special script containing command information obeying format of
;;;         the known hotkeys package. The main purpose of these scripts is to simplify
;;;         entering special symbols into kindle Framework search box
;;;  '#' -- Kindle Framework key sequence. Similar to the above, but doesn't require
;;;         external script.
;;;   all other command strings are interpreted as a sequence of a send_key commands. The contents of these
;;;   commands gets interpreted and sent as a sequence of simulated keystrokes to the input subsystem.
;;;   Such commands consist of the space-separated tokens, which can be symbolic key names and/or
;;;   ascii strings enclosed in quotes (")
;;;
;;;   Note: to correctly accept  kindle key sequence starting with a special
;;;         symbol, the Framework search box should be brought up, if not already.
;;;         Press the 'Del' key on Kindle in order to bring the search box up
As far as I can see in the launchpad code, the "#" sequence uses the "sendkey" command, whereas the unqualified sequence will actually send keystrokes to the input subsystem. So - just remove the "#" and the apostrophes, I think:

Code:
W = FW_Up
X = FW_Down
A= FW_Left
D = FW_Right
S = FW_Press
should work, I think.

Luckily for the end-users, there are still people here to catch my mistakes.

Thanks.

Hello,

I have tried to install launchpad on my kindle 3 wifi but after putting the "update_launchpad_0.0.1c_k3w_install.bin" file in the root folder of my kindle the "Update your kindle" button was grayed out. I tried to restart the kindle and it couldn't install the firmware. It gave me an "error 3" message. Any help would be appreciated.

MrPI is the Mobileread Package Installer.

Niluje meant that MrPI should be used to install the package that will not install using the UYK method.
He did not mean it was a substitute for launchpad.

(I either have a "clear channel" from here to France this morning, or he left his mind on "broadcast".)

Yup .

Although the latest MRPI snapshots will *also* correctly reject such packages, since letting them through was technically a bug .

The sure-fire way to make them work is to repackage them, most likely with KindleTool, or a fixed legacy packager if you're feeling adventurous.

The MRPI works here on my K3 with FW 3.4.2, so I imagine it will for you as well. That is how I got launchpad installed on my K3. Try it, you will like it.

Since h1uke isn't here and people keep asking why launchpad won't install on their K3's I have repackaged it with the latest kindletool and updated the first post.
