bart_simpson · 12-18-2022, 11:55 AM

I know this device is ancient, but I still use it and even replaced the battery this year.

As expected, koreader's performance is far from fast on the DX. Navigating the menus is painfully slow. Can I make a keyboard button into a hotkey to pop up the "search dictionary" dialog?

I see in koreader/fronteend/kindle/event_map_keyboard.lua various lines of the form:

[number representing button] = "eventname"

where "eventname" is things like "Menu", "Home", "Left", etc.

Is there an eventname to pop up the dictionary search dialog? If no, how about just the dictionary menu?
