Keyboard button to replace gesture #3

Closed jcartledge closed 13 years ago

jcartledge commented 13 years ago

I had difficulty getting the 2-finger-90-degrees-clockwise gesture working consistently so I hacked in a keyboard button instead. This replaces the gesture but could be modified so the gesture trigger still works as well.

I'm calling it a hack as it uses an invisible textarea placed over a button. The button itself does nothing, but when the user taps it the textarea gains focus which raises the soft keyboard.

Changes are simple, and all in the client (haml/sass/js) part of the app. Let me know what you think.

The whole 90-degree rotation thing was more a gimmick/learning thing than a real feature, thanks for fixing it!

I was really confused how this was implemented, but I finally figured it out. Very clever!
