Re: input method : dasher
That's a pretty awesome idea. It'd make "typing" fun.

Re: input method : dasher
I had the same idea over and over again. I thought it would be cool to
have such a thing controlled by the accelerometers ;)
I also took a quick look at dasher's sources. Maybe it would be better
in this case to write a new lightweight app specially designed for the
freerunner.

Re: input method : dasher
If you use Debian on your Neo, a dasher package is available. It
works, but the animations are unbearably slow. I don't know if there
are options compiled in that we don't need. There are surely some
optimizations that can be done...
Several of the command line options failed as well. I believe one of
the ones that doesn't work is the one that would make dasher usable as
a keyboard on the Neo. The default start mode opens dasher as a sort
of text editor. So, the characters you "type" go into a text field
instead of whatever app you want to type in... I think there is an
option that would make it act more like a regular keyboard, sending
key events.

Re: input method : dasher
I'm thinking about a hand writing program, but it's not easy.
Really interested in this input method, will be a tester.
"Dasher can be used to write efficiently in any language.", great.

Re: input method : dasher
Yes, this is nice! I've tried it (I think) on KDE long time ago and it'd be interesting to try it as an alternative input method for freerunner.. If someone want's to port it I'm ready to test it! r -- | risto h. kurppa | risto at kurppa dot fi | http://risto.kurppa.fi ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
input method : dasher
Hi,
At the end of this article [1], there's a comment about Dasher [2].
It's a strange but simple funny input method that can be very fast ("39
words per minute").
Dasher support numerous languages and the source code is open.
A version for mobile device (ARMv4 / Windows Mobile) is in developed by
Glen Femandes.
Do you think Dasher can be useful for the Neo Freerunner ?
