Virtual Keyboard #4

Closed Haroldo64 closed 3 years ago

Haroldo64 commented 3 years ago

Hi, thaks for this great emulator in java ...harder to find something good in java

I think that for some compatibility problem with modern keyboard would be fine to implement a virtual keyboard with sinclair tokens to use with mouse ...point and click to select basic commands and sticky key for caps lock etc (like virtual keyboard on this emulator https://www.emutopia.com/index.php/emulators/item/364-sinclair-zx-spectrum/253-unreal-speccy-portable)

Thanks bye

Hi, great job. A Virtual keyboard is very useful.

Is it possible to put the virtual keyboard on a floating windows (out the output the emulator window) to see all what is tiped in ?

thank you bye

...oh yes, the virtual keyboard out of the output screen would be nice ! Great emulator! Thanks

Hello, thank you for this great emulator. The possibility to use the keyboard on a floating window out of the output screen would be a great goal. Is there the possibility to have a Apple Silicon Universal App ?

Bye

@Alessandro1970 I have no idea what is Apple Silicon Universal App

Alessandro1970 commented 3 years ago

The new "Universal 2" binaries contain architectures slices compatible with Intel and Apple Silicon (M1 Arm CPU).

@Alessandro1970 I am not sure that it will be possible for me to make some very complex solution (I am not a mac user and use some simple platform emulation for tests), but looks like that it is very good idea to start providing and ARM version for Apple platform

Haroldo64 commented 3 years ago

Thank you, but could you put the virtual keyboard under the output screen ? I cannot see what I'm typing with the virtual keyboard in front of.

raydac commented 3 years ago

@Haroldo64 I made some changes in snapshot and now you can select to see virtual keyboard in as apart window, it is selectable through preferences (restart required)

Alessandro1970 commented 3 years ago

Thank you, now the Virtual Keyboard is fully usable !
