Ok, I understand.
What about a custom vertical indicator (%, a custom non-interactive scrollbar like FBReader...)?

I'll implement the scroll arrows soon, and a way to enter characters with accents...

well, that's the reason I didn't find anything in the sources...
About accents, don't think it would work for non latin alphabets but...
what about a "compose" key that when after pressing it and a letter (f.e. 'a') it would open a small window with different alternatives (ā, ä, á ...).

PS: I wouldn't talk about it because I don't want to sell vaporware... but during last weeks I'm thinking on coding a file browser (well, in fact 2 file browsers!)
Work and family don't allow me to spend much work on this, but...
Well, anyway, some questions:
- is it posible to launch a viewer like ipdf from another app and get the same results that if it was launched from contentlister (f.e. create directory and manifest file if this is the first time, etc)? I.e. are these actions handled from inside the viewer or in the contentlister?
- afaik, the only way to specify a page when starting ipdf is by changing manifest file... command line arguments and a interface to interact with a running ipdf instance should be quite interesting...
Excuse me for the lazy questions, but I'm not able to find ipdf sources
