Proof of Concept
I have just tested the changes I made on my DR and I am very pleased. Note however that the change is not yet complete. Not everything is working as I would want it to work, so I still have to do a lot of work.
I attached an installation file for those daredevils that can not wait. Note that I only played with it for several minutes! I consider it unstable software and there is a chance that you need to re-install the firmware.
For those that I did not scare away. There are two 'installation'-files:
Install KeyBoardHack: to install the changed firmware file and the layout files
Update KeyBoard: untested!! script that stops the keyboard driver copies a new layout-file and restarts the keyboard driver. This can be used if you want to change the content of the keymap.xml file yourself. (I did not do this myself, so the script may not work.)
If you do want to change the keyboard layout I advise to do this in the emulator first. Note that not all elements in the keymap-file are used at this moment. Error checking for incorrect keymap.xml files is not yet inplace!
Note that the keymap.xml will probably be too big for the DR800 screen, on the DR800 you can use the default_keymap.xml.
The new keyboard layout might look familiar to 'old' DR1000 users...
NOTE AGAIN: THIS IS ONLY A PROOF OF CONCEPT not yet mature enough for daily use.
Source code will be distributed later.
