Suggestion for a virtual keyboard hack (K5, KPW)

Ok, I'll do it and update the file

It was only a suggestion, but thanks for being understanding about that last point.

Perhaps only include a single ctrl key (rather than the usual two), that might be easier on your new layout.

I do understand that you are trying to keep that key lookup file as small and fast as possible.

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny keyboard in my hand

Done, files and screens updated. I've kept Alt, Ctrl and Tab in secondary-mode, but they are totally usable.

Click on secondary mode-> press 'ctrl' -> switch back to primary mode and select the character to couple

And if twobob's quote leaves anyone puzzled:

Yup. Matchbox-keyboard could work for lots of things.

Might end up using that. but nice to have options.

I've updated it again... now it's ready for Osmo, I think! (screen updated too)

You could make something like this maybe:
- Double finger tap: Keyboard appears
- Double finger when keyboard is out: keyboard goes up (or back down) on the screen
- Click on the esc button: keyboard disappears

Or, alternatively:
- Double finger tap: Keyboard appears / disappear
- I can change the esc button icon with a top/bottom position switcher

In the future, if it works well, we could also improve chars and make them bigger

okay. I will have a think about converting it to run Matchbox-keyboard -xid then...

Will dig up the kterm sources again...
