I did not realize the K4 was left out. I had a partially working (native mode) K4 terminal app, which I set aside when the webkit version was announced. It used framebuffer grabs of all the K4 keyboard screen images. If I realized it had no terminal, I would have completed that project years ago.
I suppose I can resume it as part of my native mode (c program) menu/launcher/explorer I am working on, eh? I use my own character generator (but a bigger font than "
titty/
tinysh"), rather than trying the half-broken eips character support.
There is a terminal program that combined titty and tinysh,
provided by another member. That is the partial basis for my C version, which will be the wrapper for my menu launcher (to replace KUAL on those devices that need it).
Anyway, look forward to a K4-compatible terminal emulator now that I see that need. And BTW, I was experimenting with
keyboard chording on the K4, for MUCH faster text entry than using cursor keys in a key menu. I may want to resume my K4 chording keyboard experiments (most of the source code was lost due to a bad power supply killing multiple hard drives INCLUDING the backups -- why cloud storage now seems like a good idea).
So much to do, so little time, and impending
(painful) death has a way of stirring priorities in unexpected ways. I wish I could hand my ideas
and unfinished projects off to an apprentice or three...
EDIT: I have (literally) many hundreds of hard drives full of projects at various stages of completion -- but they need indexing and sorting just to find stuff. I could use some help there too, if only to find my kindle-related projects.
