XI. ADD SOME APPS
Add dbus to get onboard keyboard working:
# apk add dbus
* Edit: actually, "apk add dbus-x11" and onboard runs reliably from chroot session startup, even without the "dbus-run-session" prefix.
# apk add dbus-x11
I believe you can check status with:
# echo $(dbus-launch)
If you want onboard as the default keyboard:
nano -l /uxorg-chroot.sh:
25 #DISPLAY=:0 sudo -u myuser svkbd-mobile-intl -g 1400x320+20+700 &
...
26 DISPLAY=:0 sudo -u myuser onboard -l Small -x 20 -y 720 --size 1400x340 &
# nano -l /usr/share/applications/onboard.desktop
139 Exec=onboard -l Small -x 20 -y 720 --size 1400x340 &
(You can invoke this keyboard from the launcher bar, but you kill it from the lower left corner menu button on the onboard keyboard, after pressing the "12?" key in the "Small" layout)
While we're in the menu layout, the "cross" key at the right lets you hide the onboard keyboard.
Also you can move the keyboard by holding and dragging the "4-directions" key.
While we're in Onboard Preferences:
From General -> Desktop Integration, select "Show floating icon...", deselect "Show tooltips..."
From Layout -> Core layouts, select "Small"
From Keyboard -> Key Behaviour, deselect "Upper case on right-click"
Add word processor abiword with its epub plugin:
# apk add abiword-plugin-epub
First run abiword to set preferences:
# abiword
When you're presented with these gigantic dialog windows that are too big for the display, you click on the right-click launcher bar button, then the dialog window's titlebar, select "resize", then drag from anywhere on the window closest to the corner you want to drag from.
First resize and drag window.
From menu, select View -> Web Layout.
From View -> Toolbars, deselect toolbars.
From View -> Zoom, select Page Width.
From Edit -> Preferences, deselect Spell Checking and Smart Quotes.
From Format -> Font, select Monospace Bold 16 (maximize window if necessary).
# abiword Kipling_Rudyard-Just_So_Stories.epub
After a couple of moments (OK more than a minute) the epub appeared in abiword, with cover illustration.
The svkbd is better than the onboard keyboard for this with its PageUp/PageDown key layout that actually stays on screen after each keypress.
CORRECTION: from the 12? layout, you just have to tap the Fn key twice to get the PgUp/PgDn layout to persist.
Likewise, you can get the caps layout to persist by double tapping the Caps key.
Now add a more lightweight epub reader and image viewer:
# apk add epy
# apk add feh
Navigate with k/j for Up/Down, h/l (or Left/Right) for PgUp/PgDn, c to change color, o to view images with the feh image viewer, and q to quit:
# epy Kipling_\ Rudyard\ -\ Just\ So\ Stories.epub
Add mouse support (supposedly to go forward or back by tapping right or left sides of page, but in practice, our two-finger swipes for PgUp/PgDn are more reliable anyway):
# nano -l .config/epy/configuration.json
6 "PageScrollAnimation": false,
7 "MouseSupport": true,
From the project page, we can see some nicer color settings:
https://github.com/wustho/epy
I got nice epaper-like results with the following:
"DarkColorFG": 231,
"DarkColorBG": 232,
This ereader app is responsive and pleasant to look at with the right color setting (see above).
It can even be invoked with "epy -r" to see the last read ebook, or e.g. "epy 5" to select the fifth ebook on the list.
If you invoke it with "epy kipling" it supposedly grabs an ebook that has the word "kipling" in it.
Add a spreadsheet program:
# apk add gnumeric
Invoke it with scaling:
# GDK_DPI_SCALE=1.5 gnumeric
Go in the View->Toolbars menu to deselect the toolbars.
Tap the right-click button from the launcher, then click on the title bar of the gnumeric app to resize its window.
Now add a more lightweight calculator:
# apk add mate-calc
Scale the window:
# GDK_DPI_SCALE=1.5 mate-calc
Install a webkit-based browser from the armhf repository:
Remember this
faint glimmer of success in installing an armhf-architecture luakit browser package?
Well we never had as good a result with our attempts to install a native armv7 webkit-based browser, so let's try again with our armhf candidates, luakit and midori.
$ wget

EDIT /etc/xdg/luakit/theme.lua
Code:

theme.font = "32px monospace"
theme.fg = "#fff"
theme.bg = "#000"
---
-- Follow mode hints
theme.hint_font = "32px monospace, courier, sans-serif"
First run luakit to set preferences:
# luakit
Enter ":settings", and let status bar go to 100% (can enter "r" to reload settings page).
Enter ESC and SPACE or SHIFT-SPACE to scroll, or "/" to search, then "zoom", and ENTER.
Set webview.zoom_level to "200" or whatever zoom level you want.
Enter ESC then hit SPACE repeatedly until you get to window.new_window_size
Set it to "1420x600"
Enter ESC and ":q" to save settings.
# luakit
www.mobileread.com
Check the following site out for how to block adds and run noscript.
From
https://trisquel.info/es/forum/confi...luakit-browser :
The 30 most useful keyboard shortcuts on luakit:
1. j - scroll page down a line
2. k - scroll page up a line
3. h - scroll page left
4. l - scroll page to the right
5. space - scroll down a full page
6. shift-space - scroll up a full page
7. gg - go to top of page
8. shift-g - go to bottom of page
9. [number]% - go to some percent of the page. Example - 50% - go to the halfway point of the page. 100% - go to the bottom of the page. 0% go to the top.
10. zi - zoom in
11. zo - zoom out
12. zz - reset zoom to default. If you put a number first, such as "150zz", then you will zoom that percent
13. shift-y - copy the current page's URL to the clipboard
14. shift-o - edit the current page's URL and go to the edited URL
15. o - open a URL
16. t - open a URL in a new page (t-Enter will open a new blank tab)
17. shift-t - open a URL based on the current page's URL in a new tab
18. shift-h - go back in browser history. "4-Shift-h" would go back 4 places in browser history
19. shift-l - go forward a spot in browser history. "4-Shift-l" would go forward 4 spots
20. shift-j - go to the next tab
21. shift-k - go to the previous tab
22. d - close the current tab
23. gh - open the home page
24. gy - duplicate th current tab
25. r - reload the page (shift-r - disregard the cache and reload the current page)
26. ctrl-c - stop loading the current tab
27. zq - quit without saving the session
28. zz - quit and save the session
29. shift-b - add a bookmark for the current page
30. gb - open the bookmarks manager
Don't forget Space and BackSpace to PageDown and PageUp.
Adblock (EasyList) and noscript made a HUGE difference in performance.
Now this browser is as usable as netsurf (on certain pages) but more fully featured.
The two-fingered scrolling doesn't seem to work (it actually seems to zoom the page, but only one direction!), but I run it unmaximized, using PageUp/PageDown keys from the svkbd keyboard.
Actually, ONE-fingered scrolling kind of works (for maximized window browsing) when it wants to.
# df -h

Now for the midori browser. First try installing the stock midori:
# apk add midori
# midori
https://www.mobileread.com
Kind of sluggish. Looks like luakit is still #1 for now.
# apk del midori
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on

If you want you can install the armhf rootfs instead of armv7 (remember to install mesa-dri-gallium to get the luakit window to display consistently):
wget
https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpin...0-armhf.tar.gz
I did not find it better - midori slow and not rendering, epiphany not running.

How about some sharper-looking icons for our right-click and drag-and-drop launcher bar functions:
Convert /usr/share/onboard/layouts/images/right-click.svg and /usr/share/onboard/layouts/images/hover-click.svg to png format using desktop image program.
For example:
Open svg file in Gimp.
Colors->Invert to change color to white.
File->Export As->Select File Type (By Extension)
And export as PNG Image.
# cp /usr/share/onboard/layouts/images/right-click.png /usr/share/icons/
# cp /usr/share/onboard/layouts/images/hover-click.png /usr/share/icons/
# nano -l /usr/share/applications/xdodd.desktop
4 Icon=hover-click
# nano -l /usr/share/applications/xdorc.desktop
4 Icon=right-click
Add our new apps to launcher bar if needed:
# nano -l /usr/share/applications/mate-calc.desktop
236 Exec=GDK_DPI_SCALE=1.5 mate-calc
238 Icon=gcr-smart-card
# nano -l /usr/share/applications/gnumeric.desktop
235 Exec=GDK_DPI_SCALE=1.5 gnumeric %U
# nano -l /usr/share/applications/qterminal.desktop
3 Icon=lxterminal
EDIT /home/root/.config/tint2/tint2rc:
Code:
###
#-------------------------------------
# Launcher

launcher_item_app = onboard.desktop
launcher_item_app = svkbd.desktop
#launcher_item_app = lxterminal.desktop

* Abiword only seems to work properly invoked from the comnand line, not the launcher.
# nano -l /home/root/.config/lxterminal/lxterminal.conf
2 fontname=Monospace 24
(This is to have a big font for running epy ereader by "lxterminal -e epy".)
And since we have so many apps now, let's finally enable the openbox menu, accessed by right-clicking on the desktop background (i.e. by launcher bar button or 2-finger left/right swipe):
(Note: you can also run sync or sudo poweroff from pcmanfm file manager menu:
e.g.:
Tools->Run a Command in Current Folder...
Enter a command to run:
sudo poweroff)

Mirror your phone or desktop keyboard output on the Kobo terminal screen, using the Linux "script" utility command:
-We already have
hotplug USB keyboard capability in our chroot
using a powered connector.
-We can use our phone or desktop keyboard to control our Kobo
from a remote VNC or SSH client in an X desktop session.
But the unfortunately-named "script" utility in Linux allows you to share whatever you type in one terminal (e.g. in an SSH session from your phone to the Kobo) to be mirrored to a second terminal (a terminal running in your Kobo chroot).
Therefore, your phone keyboard input is transmitted to the Kobo screen.
The "script" program is part of the util-linux-misc package:
# apk add util-linux-misc
Run this from your Kobo to identify the terminal device:
# tty
Use the device info (e.g. "/dev/pts/1") in a command on the phone's SSH session to the Kobo to echo to that terminal:
# script -f /dev/pts/1
Now your keyboard input on your phone is mirrored to your Kobo.
You can even run vi, nano, mc, etc. this way.
(There is similar functionality in apps like screen, tmux, etc, but I didn't find they performed better for this particular purpose. Also, I found that all of them, including script, had much more lag when I tried to do the same trick in the KOReader terminal, as compared to in our Alpine chroot.)

How about let's change the default elinks keybindings to allow normal use of arrow keys:
Append to the end of the config file:
$ vi .elinks/elinks.conf
Code:
##################################
# Automatically saved keybindings
#
bind "main" "Ctrl-F" = "frame-next"
bind "main" "Ctrl-B" = "frame-prev"
bind "main" "," = "history-move-back"
bind "main" "." = "history-move-forward"
bind "main" "u" = "link-info"
bind "main" "Alt-l" = "lua-console"
bind "main" "Down" = "move-cursor-down"
bind "main" "Left" = "move-cursor-left"
bind "main" "Right" = "move-cursor-right"
bind "main" "Up" = "move-cursor-up"
bind "main" "Tab" = "move-link-next"
bind "main" "Shift-Tab" = "move-link-prev"
bind "main" "#" = "toggle-numbered-links"
bind "main" "Ctrl-Right" = "none"
So the new way of navigating in elinks would be:
On startup, enter '.' to see current working directory, or enter a web address.
Tab and Shift-Tab to traverse the links.
Enter to follow link or '.' and ',' to go forward and back.
Space and 'b' to page forward and back.
'[' and ']' to go left and right.
Enter to edit a text field, 'd' to download link.
'a' to add a bookmark, 's' to see them, TAB to move through options.
ESC followed by Down arrow and Left/Right arrows to see menus.
'g' to enter a new address, 'q' to quit.
Main difference being now able to move around the page with arrows keys.
Old Down/Up link travelling replaced by Tab/Shift-Tab, and old Left/Right history traversing replaced by ','/'.'.

Then create a file ~/.config/luakit/adblock.blacklist according to the comment in the adblock.lua. Here's what works for facebook for example:
facebook%.com
Here's a script which translates hosts files for adblocking into an adblock.blacklist file. Use it as an example only!

ZZ=Quit and save the session
ZQ=Quit and dont save the session
**************************************************
How to set luakit to save the current session every time instead of only by ZZ, even if it's closed by the window manager:
In your rc.lua, place a session.save() at the top of the window.methods.close_win function:
local close_win = window.methods.close_win
window.methods.close_win = function (w, ...)
session.save{w}
close_win(w, ...)
end
Another option offered:
Edit window.lua (should be in ~/.config/luakit, or you should copy it to there from the xdg folder).
On line 658 you'll find a function called "navigate". Add a line just before the closing "end" which is on line 671. The line should save the current session by calling w:save_session().
navigate = function (w, uri, view)
view = view or w.view
if view then
local js = string.match(uri, "^javascript
.+)$")
if js then
--return view:eval_js(luakit.uri_decode(js), "(javascript-uri)")
return view:eval_js(luakit.uri_decode(js),
"(luakit::navigate)", true)
end
view.uri = uri
else
return w:new_tab(uri)
end
w:save_session() -- THIS LINE WAS ADDED
end,

How to change useragent:
globals.useragent = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chromium/14.0.825.0"
If you append ?nobrowsercheck=true to the end of the gmail.com url (or any other url that rejects unknown browsers?) it will let you access it with the normal luakit user agent.
**************************************************
To bind keys to commands, you can use the following template:
~/.config/luakit/userconf.lua
modes.add_binds("normal", {
-- {"<key>",
-- "<description>",
-- function (w) w:enter_cmd("<command>") end}
{"O", "Open URL in a new tab.",
function (w) w:enter_cmd(":tabopen ") end},
...
})
For inspiration, see /usr/share/luakit/lib/binds.lua, where the default bindings are defined.
*************************************************
To use userconf.lua to remap binds,
paste the binding aliases there:
-- Binding aliases
local key, buf, but = lousy.bind.key, lousy.bind.buf, lousy.bind.but
then add binds within the brackets:
------------------ binds.lua
add_binds("normal", {
--for example
-- History
key({}, "b", function (w, m) w:back(m.count) end),
key({}, "n", function (w, m) w:forward(m.count) end),
}, true)
