Yeah, somewhat, but I think our screen might be a little small for it.
I guess it needs to be prototyped.

 What do you think. Could this be useful on OpenMoko?

 I think its really inovative usage of on screen keyboard. I could try
 to implement it on desktop machine and than when I get Freerunner
 port it to OpenMoko.


 How about this (http://www.strout.net/info/ideas/hexinput.html) looks
 like a good idea.

Here is a screenshot of one of onscreen keyboard. And I don't think its 
so small.


And it could be bigger if special characters (,$,€, {,} etc.) were 
hiden. Maybe a gesture that startes at part of the screen gets you to 
special characters.


I will try this in this weekend. Just mockup app. And than actual porting.

You could save quite a bit of room there by getting rid of a SHIFT and the
CAPS keys.  you might consider something like a double-tap on shift locks
it, and a single tap only affects the next character.

Oh, I like that one.

Of course I'd also like there to be a Terminal app in ASU; presumably 
there will be one RSN.

On the actual screen that keyboard is very small. Even if you use a
stylus, you need to keep a steady hand. I don't think sliding over
fields that small would be comfortable or fast. It would be unusable
on a bus/train.

I made first mockup of onscreen keyboard

http://www.flickr.com/photos/christooss/2537684496/

Colors of keyboard are taken from this theme:

http://blogs.gnome.org/thos/2008/04/07/more-moko-gtk-theme/

Upper part is from old one.

Key size is 40x40 pixels so I don't think it should be such problem with 
on Neo screen. Sure I could be wrong.

This was discussed a little on the list before, but I REALLY liked the
quikwriting idea ( http://mrl.nyu.edu/~perlin/demos/quikwriting.html ).
It seems to me this would be the best way to go for finger input...

I believe there is a project open for it...though it doesnt seem very
active.  http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/qwo/
