Or perhaps using "cd"...?

Could people report on working console apps? Someone had already a version of fritz working in console mode, I believe. Zork in a real ebook :-)

Also someone got to run a console-based mp3 player time ago. Here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...13&postcount=2

Thank you, arivero. I wanted to search for this thread today.

@ jæd,thanks for "ch". Sometimes I'm so blind!

By the way, I am afraid that Kristoffer, the guy that reported this mp3 thing, is bound by some stronger confidentiality agreement; we have not got news from him since the 2.5 update, and his last report was that, strangely, the update he had was not using the new ipdf (he could be wrong in that report, of course). Actually some people could have been misled into 2.5 because of that report.

OH MY GOD, this is awesome.

The .2 version comes with an icon and "hides" everything in ContentLister.

Basically it has a PNG and a manifest.xml added to the .1 package.

Enjoy.

Wow Scotty, I never imagined myself handwriting on a shell. This rocks!

scotty1024 · 11-16-2006, 03:10 PM

Wait until you hand write an email.

Of course the novelty wears off and then a bluetooth keyboard looks real attractive...

Enjoy, and remember: be careful with what you write into that command shell.

yokos · 11-20-2006, 06:31 AM

With

Code:

vi filename

you can start the text editor vi to edit the file filename.
I have a problem: Typing a I start the text mode Insert. But I have no way to get back to command mode, because keyboard has no Esc key. Does anybody know a way back to command mode?

Ctrl-C...?

mtas · 11-20-2006, 07:09 AM

Well, instead if ESC you can use Ctrl-[ but since there are no Ctrl "key" on the virtual keyboard....

You can of course use sed for editing and create new files as "here" documents.

BTW, has anybody else noted that the mrxvt window doesn't get correctly updated? I noticed this while doing a substitution in vi.

[No Esc or Ctrl on "software" keyboard]

@ mtas. thanks so far

arivero · 11-20-2006, 08:09 AM

I think is is posible to disable the enhanced keyboard and go back to the old one, but that is mayor surgery. Could be better to find a way to define a pen-stroke for the scape.

Also, xmodmap should work

tribble · 11-23-2006, 02:59 PM

Scotty, could you do a little update on the terminal, so the screen gets updated when you move the scrollbar? If possible.

Thanks

I change from keyboard to writepad (and back) to force a screen update.

(Another way would be for the software to monitor if something has changed and then force the update.)
