Re: #5859 NORM FutureF: Need a way to tactily distinguish keys on top row
All three bars along the top row of the keyboard act as analog sliders when the FN key is held down. They have four distinct key assignments under normal operation. -walter On Jan 9, 2008 2:51 AM, Zarro Boogs per Child [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: #5859: Need a way to tactily distinguish keys on top row --+- Reporter: mgorse | Owner: walter Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: FutureFeatures Component: keyboards| Version: Resolution: |Keywords: Verified: 0|Blocking: Blockedby: | --+- Comment(by AlbertCahalan): Notches along both edges wouldn't be too bad. That leaves the top smooth, which is important for the slider. The non-slider keys could just be made distinct. Having them connected at all is undesirable. The slider is a funny case. Ideally, the user would not know or care that there are 7 distinct buttons. Ideally, there would be an infinite number of buttons. It is after all supposed to be a slider. -- Ticket URL: http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5859#comment:3 One Laptop Per Child http://dev.laptop.org OLPC bug tracking system -- Walter Bender One Laptop per Child http://laptop.org ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

And each one of the analog sliders is actually *8* keys rather than just 4. We currently have no mappings in libX11 for these. Me and Jim know about the whole story. -- \___/ |___| Bernardo Innocenti - http://www.codewiz.org/ \___\ One Laptop Per Child - http://www.laptop.org/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Is it 8 or 7? I thought it was the four + 3 intermediaries. -walter On Jan 9, 2008 1:26 PM, Bernardo Innocenti [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Walter Bender wrote: All three bars along the top row of the keyboard act as analog sliders when the FN key is held down.
