Features list

NoHolyGrail · 08-10-2010, 02:47 PM

Does anybody know where I can find a list of the features that OpenInkpot has? Particularly, I'm wondering whether it supports highlighting and dictionary, and if so are they are any limitations on which devices. I searched the forum and OpenInkpot website and couldn't find the answers.

It doesn't support either of those features (although a dictionary is being worked on).

I found the User Manual very useful for these sorts of questions: Lots of useful screenshots and explanations. (Click on the screenshots to view them at a readable size).

http://openinkpot.org/wiki/0.2/UsersGuide

The only thing I've noticed that isn't in the manual is a complete list of the actions you can assign to keys. (If you're going to use the number keys, I'd recommend customizing the actions. IIRC, the default settings include a "decrease font size" key, but not an "increase" one. Of course if you _don't_ use the number keys, then you just press the "zoom" button to get a list of font sizes).

Just a small correction: there's been a dictionary function available for some time, but only in CoolReader and you had to download a dictionary yourself. It seems to be broken (overriden by built-in English-Russian dict) in recent snapshots so if you want to check it out, try some of the stable releases.
