Hi everybody,
I have recently discovered the opportunity to plug an external keyboard on my Kobo Aura 2. It looks like a miracle to be able to write faste and precise on my ereader ! But, I am french and the keymapping does not seems to support latin character. I have tried to put the character I wanted on the event_map_keyboard.lua. I did not reach any succes. Does anyone knows a trick to encode latin character on this file ? Many thanks for your response Last edited by MagnaNime; 01-04-2024 at 08:29 AM. |

I'm not sure what you mean with a latin character. Could you share an example?.
ATM the external keyboard plugin acts as a translation between keycodes and strings. What you want might be some sort or composition that takes care of certain keycodes as modifiers of other keycodes (ie: to be able to write aute accents) It should be doable but not trivial. |

Yeah, the ExternalKeyboard plugin doesn't handle custom keymaps, so it sort of assumes a standard PC105 IBM QWERTY layout. Patches welcome.
I don't actually remember what exactly happens with an AZERTY keyboard (i.e., whether it behaved as if QWERTY, or if something weirder happened). Not for the faint of heart to deal with, though. (IIRC, ideally, the plan would have been to be able to piggyback on standard Linux console layout or xkb stuff). My own interest stopped at getting it technically working, though .

Many thanks for your answers !
I mean "é", "è", "à", "ç" but also "^" for instance. What I have tried was to change character, like: [3] = "é". Actually the Azerty keyboard behave like a Qwerty. Only the number of caps matter. It was easy to switch the character to become what I wanted, but without accent... |

Still going strong. I only got a crash like once or twice since I have it, and the battery doesn't bother me compared to my old H2O. I do not use Nickle at all so can't say if it's shorter than "normal" compared to other devices of the same generation.

Hi
Am I only getting error when trying to push/pull reading progress? Last 3-4 days it returns, that "something went wrong...". Also when check updates it says "no stable update channel" or something like this. Thank you. |
