thanks for the tip. I'll take a look, although I'm going to have my home entirely on the SD card, for obvious reasons. > > On the plus side, typing about anything is now MUCH, MUCH faster than > > with Om2008.12 which I had before. > What kind of keyboard would you like to have there? So far, I didn't really care much for the different keyboards, but if I can have a wish, I'd like response times like the current keyboard in Paroli gives (ie, it immediately gives results as fast as I can type), not as sluggish with 1-2 second pauses between key presses, like in Om2008.12, but something that gives me easy ways to type all "characters" that I'd like to have, which is *full* Unicode (or close: Latin9 and Chinese at least). On my desktop computer, I use scim for this purpose, and for other languages as well. Otherwise, I'd like to be able to zoom and shrink the keyboard. The idea of scrolling between different layouts, like in Om2008.12, is interesting and not too bad, but it's naturally impossible to accommodate all foreign language characters this way and still have a usable keyboard. Reading that wishes are not encouraged at this time, I'd probably better not hold my breath, though. > I installed qwo > (http://www.opkg.org/package_84.html) just to try it out - not bad :) > Should try the transparent version: > http://kedrigern.dcs.fmph.uniba.sk/~riso/Openmoko/qwo/ Thanks, I'll take a look at these, too. Adjustable transparency, colours and layouts are good, imho.
