Remarkable 2 - type folio support #15

Hi, first thank you for a realization of such an original idea :).

I've tried your application with very small modification so it finds the type folio keyboard. It did work, though main remarkable application was also typing along with drawing from your application. So I've refused to get an access to main application to keyboard device by LD_PRELOAD trick and now there just crazy-cow doing the drawing which is great.

The problem is that once I attach type folio keyboard to remarkable2 it immediately changes orientation of screen to horizontal and when I type the characters they're drawn as if display was still in vertical orientation and it's not possible to change the orientation of the display when the folio keyboard is attached.

I wanted to ask you maybe you have some idea how this could be done easily(switch vertical drawing to horizontal) within crazy cow application or at least give some hints..

Thank you

Could you share your code? I’m not very good at programming. I copied the author’s program to my Remarkable2, but it doesn’t work.
