iLiad No 'Ctrl' on iLiad?!

ericshliao · 10-10-2008, 03:01 PM

I had always wondered how to input 'Ctrl' on iLiad. And I just realized that I can't input 'Ctrl-C' with iLiad virtual keyboard now.

Now, I have built a executable Chinese input method (it might also work for Japanese and Korean with proper mapping data). Since it relies on Ctrl-Space to activate, I might have to buy a USB keyboard.

Hello,
with xshell / mxrvt 0.5.0 you can use next keybindings:

Ctrl+Z: Select
Ctrl+C: Delete
Exit: Home
Esc: End

Hope it helps,
Iñigo

Thanx. At least I can use some key combination within console now.

But I need Ctrl-Space, Ctrl-Shift to activate and switch between different IMEs under X-window.

The file mrxvtrc (xshell / mxrvt 0.5.0) include the following:

Code:

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
#
#			       Map iLiad virtual keyboard keys to MACROS
#
#			       Select KEY is Ctrl+Z
#			       Delete KEY is Ctrl+C
#			       Home   KEY is Close
#			       End    KEY is Escape
#
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #

Mrxvt.macro.Ctrl+A:		Str ^Z
Mrxvt.macro.Delete:		Str ^C
Mrxvt.macro.Home:		Close
Mrxvt.macro.End:		Str \e

By editing this file, these 4 keys can be whatever you want.

Thanx. That's really inspiring. Now, I have to test if mrxvt support utf8 input.

I just found something that might be related to tweak keyboard input. In /etc/matchbox/kbdconfig:

Code:

#
# This is an example keyboard config file for matchbox
#
# You can edit this file or change per user by copying to 
#  ~/.matchbox/kbdconfig
#
# Se the matchbox manual for more info ( http://projects.o-hand.com/matchbox )

### Window operation short cuts 

<Alt>n=next
<Alt>p=prev
<Alt>c=close
<Alt>d=desktop
<Alt>m=!matchbox-remote -mbmenu

### App launching.

<ctrl><alt>x=!xterm
<ctrl><alt>r=!rxvt

### App launching with startup notify

<ctrl><alt>e=!!gpe-calender

### windows style key shortcuts

<alt>Tab=next
<alt><shift>Tab=prev

<alt>space=taskmenu
<alt>escape=!matchbox-remote -mbmenu
<alt>f4=close

f11=fullscreen

### super should be a 'window' key, uncomment '#' if you have one.

#<super>d=desktop
#<super>r=!xterm
#<super>e=!!nautilus

### Special keys, likely probably only available on extended keyboards. 

#App=!matchbox-remote -mbmenu
#Menu=!matchbox-remote -mbmenu

Anybody recognize it? I am trying to figure it out.

The Iliad keyboard executable is called matchbox-keyboard.
The sources for the original matchbox-keyboard are available from ubuntu (or debian). It might be possible to port it to the Iliad, I think... No time to try it...

It has a Ctrl key

Your guess should be correct.
