2.0.2preview is out, added "hold <number>" key bindings support (researched by Mark Nord, implemented by kravitz), Book History bugfix. (book list wasn't correctly updated)

[Mark Nord]

Maybe a silly question,
but how do I check quickly if a modified ebook.so will fire kUp-hold?

Mark Nord
On 300 it's easy as 2.0.x has new key bindings code and it is NOT run in a "sandbox" context.
On 505 1.1.3 there are at least 2 ways:

1) modify applicationStart.xml, you are after this part:

			<boolean key="0x27" do="doCenter"/>
			<boolean key="0x27-hold" do="doCenter"/>
			<boolean key="kLeft" do="doLeft"/>
			<boolean key="kRight" do="doRight"/>
			<boolean key="kUp" do="doUp"/>
			<boolean key="kDown" do="doDown"/>

I think adding

			<boolean key="kUp-hold" do="doUpHold"/>

to the mentioned file and then:

kbook.model.doUpHold = function () {
// log something
}

should work. The disadvantage is, that if you set it to something other than -hold the function won't be called.

2) You should be able to catch all events by overriding Fskin.device.handleEvent, say like this:

var oldHandleEvent = Fskin.device.handleEvent;
Fskin.device.handleEvent = function (target, event) {
	try {
		var key = event.getKey();
		// log the key
	} catch (e) {
		// log error
	}
	oldHandleEvent.apply(this, arguments);
};

but it won't work in sandbox context, you have to do it via "compile ". So the easiest way is probably to put this code into a separate file, then load it (I think there is even Core.io.getFileContent) and feed it to compile. Then call the function.

i have tried loading different dictionary files. it can be successfully enabled by PRS+. but every time when dictionary is launched, the reader is frozen. no key is responsive. maybe there is a bug?

Maybe. To be honest, I still haven't tried this feature. Could you link me the dictionaries that you are using?

[minox.b]

I have tried these few files. Hope it helps

Yes, I can confirm the problem. Will be fixed.

Hi kartu,

please note before adapting dicto-code that there is a improved version by m-land (still without virtual keyboard)

New features:
-text instead of label is used (better results wrapping)
-font size could be set in settings
-dynamic zoom-out (could be set % in settings) of long results

Let give it a try, all comments are wellcome.

PS: Am I right that the problem with the code is the integration of the now "elevated" Core-functions in dictinory.js?

Hm, I remember that I've integrated m-land's version. (should be part of latest 505 version) but I guess he might have even newer one, I'll have a look.

I don't know what the problem is, just adding try catch logging to all dictionary.js functions didn't yield any result.
