I was too enthusiastic last night to report that landscape is broken. The problem is worse than you indicate, only the top 4 rows of the keyboard appear in landscape, i.e. a s d f...k l ' and the control row below are missing. When the keyboard is dismissed before rotation, the scrolling area is available, but any action in the input area pops up the partial keyboard.
This may be an artifact of my iPhone 5s -- if Mike is also using a 5s, that theory would gain traction. I was going to report the good news that it does work on the 5s even though you say 6 and above. So, if it is a 5s problem (although 5s is the "new" model in India), then you could join Apple in trying to move us "hold onto my phone" people to new ones... I can/do relate to your "fat fingers" remark - and the portrait kb on my 5s is certainly a challenge in that department! But the new expanded kb is worth all the extra caution required when typing. I can verify that iExplorer can once again see into the J app, and the iTunes sharing seems to work much better than I recall it working before. I'm still finding my way through the maze of the file structure and where/how to place things, but I have successfully put into place my Eugene McDonnell test data (a full copy of Jane Austen's Emma). Where I'm stuck in the maze is how to take an external script and make it available under load 'xx' or import a 'start.ijs" so my 20 year old "helpful verbs" are available.... I notice that load 'pacman' doesn't work, but I have the feeling that these will come along and the documentation page in the wiki is a great start at providing help. Confession: I had installed and run several tests before noticing the reference to the wiki -- or even realizing that the introductory scrolling area had much more information that first appeared. I like the fact that the short jt 0 is explicitly included - and if I can sort out my iCloud clipboard sharing, the jgetcb may let me get some of my scripts moved in a new way. I think it is a great update for a really useful tool. Thank You! > On 2017Jul 5, at 06:23, Eric Iverson <[email protected]> wrote: > > I think I see the problem you report with landscape.
