Touchpad mode #140

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Could be made a connection option "Touchpad mode" - no picture in Iphone - 
just a wireless Touchpad (or Mouse) and Keyboard. 
Usefull for PC + TV via TV-out, 
UltraVnc has some option - enable blank - I dont know what it is, maybe 
helpful. 

Glenn Kreisel : "What would the scale be set at?  Would the iphone be 
scaled to fit the whole screen of the remote device? If not, how 
would you know where you are scrolled to on the remote 
device area?  I think scaled to fit the whole screen 
of remote device would be the only choice correct? " 

We would  know where we are on the remote 
device area - we look at the screen of remote 
device, PC with VncServer. 
It could be good (Best) - iphone acts like little touchpads in notebooks. 
It is based on finger speed , I dont sure.
May be with special areas to manipulate the real scrollbars on screen of 
remote device - It was already realized on notebook-touchpads (3 years ago 
it was already). 

Another variant - on the Iphone Screen we see the rectangle-only on black 
background , in form of remote device screen. Zoom in\out usual way -
change rectangle size. We se mouse tracks. But no picture. 
AND circle that indicates mouse position - should grow when zoom is more 
than some value ( for corners or to indicate the scale ( the sensibility 
of mouse)

Background can be like a "big pallete when you choose colors" -  based on 
some color space. 
Pallete - I mean representation in rectangle,cube,circle all colors from 
colorspace. Colorspace (not full colorspaces) here might never give us 
white color, or some color.

We can catch some ideas how to indicate the position using color. Current 
backgound color (or croped palette from big pallete can indicate where we 
are, if we used compass 
- to south - more red
- to north - more  blue
etc

Or background img - map with continents. Map with your country>city>house 
plan.

I'm sorry if I wrote some garbage here (not very good ideas) and I hope 
something is usefull. Ask please in comments what is unresolved, I could 
miss some things.

Yea I would like a variation of the touchpad fullscreen keyboard with a remote 
control type layout interface like pause and play and etc linked to a certain 
string 
of keyboard strokes like the ctrl+alt+del option. Since there are many 
different 
players and people use different ones. Under the preferences tab there should 
be a 
sub category for the remote control that allows the user to enter the keyboard 
strokes for each function that corresponds to their media player. Like Play = 
spacebar. Volume UP = PgDown. and so on and so on. Other people were asking for 
this 
in the same wireless keyboard mouse thread on hackint0sh

I thought of exactly this idea, and came here to see someone else also had it! 
Great
minds... :)

I'd like to contribute to make this a reality. I've got the toolchain setup on 
XP and
can compile other apps, but VNSea isn't compiling because of an issue with a
non-existent class (UIHardwareOrientation).  Any help would be greatly 
appreciated!
