Terminal-friendly keyboard layout #255

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Attached is a patch against trunk to add a terminal keyboard layout.
It has some rough edges still, but has all my main ideas for a
terminal-friendly layout. I would greatly appreciate your feedback
before going on to polishing it.

Basic ideas:
- longpress letters to get upper-case (== no need for shift button)
- ctrl button (should have little green light)
- split space-bar doubles as up/down keys
- ConnectBot-aware
- limited set of symbols relevant to shells

Have you tested that?

Note that the diff file is made by mercurial, so you may need to apply it with 
'patch -p1'

Try the latest:

I did not take your entire patch! There were some stuff I didn't understood.
So, what I suggest is that you try this version, and we'll talk about what is 
missing, 
and add them together. OK?

It will not be a part of the next release.
It will be added once external packages will be support (release after that)

Is this issue dead? I would really like a layout with terminal functions for 
devices without hardware keys. See the Full Keyboard app for ideas on what 
might be needed in such a layout.

It is not dead, simply on hold.

Menny thought my patch too invasive, which I understand. I built my a private 
version of softkeyboard, which solved my problem :). Now that there is a 
modular interface and interest, I'll have a look at it to see if I can recreate 
the features using the interface. Give me a few days.

Hmm what is the purose of this terminal layout? I thought of slashes, 
backslashes, pipes, etc :) We got only a-z o_O ? This is what i mean terminal 
friendly. I plan to make such es layout.

See http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/issues/detail?id=232 for the type of 
issues a terminal layout should solve. Ctrl, alt, escape, etc.
