"Vkb will not pop up when (re-)positioning the cursor inside a text field by touching the display?"

Counter question: why would you (re-)position the cursor on-screen? That kinda kills the purpose of having a keypad on TOHKBD...

@nodevel: How did you get the bare-bones version? I don't see any way to get that. Is that some dev test thingy?

It's no dev test thingy, as the first TOHKBD has been out for some time (and this bare-bones version has been the solution there as well).
See the 'other' folder in https://github.com/kimmoli/tohkbd .

So does the counter mean I can order in twelve hours? I'm working night shift and will have gone to bed a couple of hours before that. Is there a chance I will be to late?(Meaning should I stay up and wait?)

That counter is making me nervous.. well I should in home by then (I think) :eek:

As mentioned before, you will be able to specify your unique layout and if enough people want it we will make it. If not we will supply all files to modify your qwerty keypad at your local laser-shop to your preferences. Software will be completely configurable.

I'll be probably happy already with a scandinavian keyboard, but for the DIY-ers who would like to make their own keypad, can you explain exactly what they would need? A <material?> laser-engraving facility?

That might be the answer to all those people asking for French/Spanish/Lithuanian etc layout. Instead of the one-line VKB showing just the space bar, have it show all the modifiers (acute, grave, umlaut etc). No need for special layouts with accented characters. At least for the Latin based alphabets, Cyrillics might need to be a separate option.

to summarize:

- the most used layouts will be available
- if there is enough demand we will add extra layouts
- you can get blank keypads or edit your standard one at ANY laser-engraving facility, we provide all files you need
- you can edit and load custom keypad layouts on the software side
- you can add custom characters to virtual keyboard

should be enough options. if anyone is still unhappy i challenge you to find another producer that provides more options.

Okay, so this is finally happening. Great! Even if I am totally happy with todays virtual keyboards, I am going to order one of your keyboards to support you guys. Absolutely great that people are doing stuff like this!

Hi Dirk,

the wooden panel, is it just glued to the back?
If Yes, is it possible to get the panel separately, to decide for myself if I want to glue it on the back or not.

If you want to rip it off that is totally possible, but I am not delivering half a product ;)
