I just played around a little with my PB700, trying to get the
Texteditor working (no luck so far).
BUT, there must be something already in the PB software: I used
bluetoothctl to pair, trust and make default my el-cheapo "Action" Lab31 BT keyboard (this can also be done via the menu).
And suddenly, in
system/language/keyboard,
translation tables appeared for English, Italian, Russian and Ukrainian. They’re called like
EN.extkbd. I even made a
DE.extkbd, just in case it only worked if a table was found.
They look like this:
Code:
#en_kb tab delimeted
#key normal shift caps shiftcaps
#KEY_ESC ESC
KEY_1 1 ! 1 !
KEY_2 2 @ 2 @
KEY_3 3 # 3 #
KEY_4 4 $ 4 $
KEY_5 5 % 5 %
KEY_6 6 ^ 6 ^
KEY_7 7 & 7 &
KEY_8 8 * 8 *
KEY_9 9 ( 9 (
KEY_0 0 ) 0 )
KEY_MINUS - _ - _
KEY_EQUAL = + = +
#KEY_BACKSPACE BACKSPACE

Unfortunately, all this doesn’t make the PB700
use the BT keyboard, neither in notes nor library search or browser.
I wonder if this was
planned at some time, or needs some extra
activation? Or is it a feature that is enabled in certain
regions only, like OPDS?
