You type a line out then hit "send" or "enter + send" When you hit send it closes the keyboard and pastes the sentence in the application. (it does this with xte which is part of the xautomation package) If anyone has had a Nokia N800 it's kinda like that.

Unfortunately it started fullscreen (because by default matchbox starts any 'normal' app fullscreen), and was not usable because of that. Any way to make it starting in 'out-of-workspace' area, as matchbox-keyboard does?

New on screen Keyboard for Hackable1 and Debian written in Python
Hello, I've created a new on screen keyboard for the Freerunner. I designed it for Hackable1. I tried to make it as finger friendly as possible and use as much screen space for buttons. I've only been working on it for one day but it's pretty usable. Like Hackable1, it's still a little ruff around the edges. Here is a link to the script http://www.filmsbykris.com/freerunner-debian/ko-keypad/ko-keypad you need to have xautomation installed (apt-get install xautomation) If can install xautomation on om2008 then this keyboard shouldl work on it aswell It's hard to describe my keyboard but I'll give it a try The keyboard is a 12 button keypad. Each character takes 2 keypresses. instead of the normal keypad like on your cellphone where you have to press each key 3 or 4 time to type one letter and then you end up passing the letter you want and have to hit the key 3 or 4 more times and you have to wait if 2 letter you want are on the same button. This keypad will change all 12 keys to the characters on the button you choose. there is a Space button on each key and if you hit the wrong key there is a blank button next to the space key to back out. keys are sent to a temp line before you add them to the final line (but any thing in the temp line when sending keys will be add) ---todo list--- 1) backspace button 2) create list for drop combo box of last 25 or 50 things typed 3) make the sending of keys a little more efficient I would really love some feed back Like I said, it's still a little ruff around the edges.
