Just writing a small update on my progress: I'm using .svg files as the layout for the keyboard. It currently only recognises rectangles, but plan to implement paths next as that allows all manner of wonderful shapes and layouts.
I have a dictionary linking each character with a key on the keyboard. Currently this is hardcoded but will be in a separate file. Up until now i've been wrapping round fakekey, a c library for input into other x applications. However this tends to slip up when handling unicode characters. I would quite like to reimplement all this in a cleaner fashion, I was wondering if anyone with any experience with Python and Unicode could give me any advice. thanks On 26/05/06, Chris Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm writing a on-screen keyboard for Ubuntu as per the spec here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Specs/SOK I'm writing it in python, using pygtk and drawing the keys of the keyboard using cairo. Currently I've wrapped up fakekey with SWIG and am using that to input text into the currently focused window. Unfortunately, the keyboard window focuses when I click on the drawingarea widget that draws the keys. Making the thing fairly useless at this point. If anyone who is familiar with the GOK code reads this, could they detail how they got round this problem. thanks -- Chris Jones jabber - [EMAIL PROTECTED] msn - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
