Are there other options I can > look into? it'll only work in x FYI. it doesn't come and go on demand. it's always there if loaded. you can move it around, configure it to stick to an edge of the screen etc. it used 2 fingers to drag it around/move it. (or ctrl+left mouse). there are 2 layouts included. the default uses a dictionary to do correction so u can mis-type (hit somewhere near the target key) and it'll fix it up. it's not prediction (where it completes the word given a beginning) or like swype. when the default correcting kbd is correcting the "default closest correction" is in the middle in blue, with less likely results going outwards to the left and right swipe to the right to enter a space (and to accept the default correction) or press the correction u want in the list. swipe left to backspace. swipe down to insert and enter. swpie up to switch kbd layouts. this will cycle between multiple layouts. one is the default, one is "symbols and numbers" and one is "full terminal layout" which when used does not correct and dumbly inserts the keys presses as-is. this all relies on the x test extension working and efl's xtest support not being disabled. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
