fvwmbuttons keyboard

I posted this in another thread, but thought I would put it here along with some modifications I made. I changed a few colors and now the return key works in all gtk apps so no more hildon-input-method.

edit: Caps, shift, ctrl all working (ctrl only sends lower case for now)

I use these styles for the windows:

Code:

Style *vk* Title, NeverFocus, StaysOnTop

Style *sym* Title, NeverFocus, StaysOnTop

And launch the keyboard with this command:

Code:

Module FvwmButtons vk -g 420x170+348+298

Code:

Re: fvwmbuttons keyboard

So the question is: can you use this keyboard in anything other than fvwm? Can you install something that makes this work elsewhere?

Re: fvwmbuttons keyboard

It can only be used in fvwm. There are a few of us around here that use it, but I'm not sure who all we are.

Re: fvwmbuttons keyboard

I'm one, a little. Still working (intermittently) on the goal of tossing up a complete ready-to-go .deb somewhere, but I do actually use it as well as hacking on it.

Re: fvwmbuttons keyboard

I don't know anything about making debs so I just compile all must stuff to /usr/local/ and tar it up. I'm always tweaking away at my config files, thinking of something that will make it just a bit better.

I'm pretty satisfied with what I have now, now that the I can once and for all forget about the hildon keyboard. Links suffices for my browsing needs, so I've turned off browserd now too.

Re: fvwmbuttons keyboard

Well, I was (and am, for normal use) using Debian xvkbd, though I'm fiddling a bit with your keyboard; I use my own rxvt build. I've got a build of FVWM 2.5.26 (Thanks, qwerty12!) around that I haven't even installed yet, but I'm thinking I'll at least try patching for translucency and building my own before I finalize things for packaging.

And tons of config tweaking. One tip: Add an extra title-bar button with a menu to select from the three buttons, e.g.:

Code:

AddToMenu "Input" "Input " Title

+              "Button 1 " Exec exec xmodmap -e 'pointer = 1 2 3' 

+              "Button 2 " Exec exec xmodmap -e 'pointer = 2 3 1' 

+              "Button 3 " Exec exec xmodmap -e 'pointer = 3 1 2'm

+              "" Nop 

+              "Xvkbd" Exec exec xvkbd &

Code:

Mouse 0 3 A Menu Input Nop

Re: fvwmbuttons keyboard

That's a good idea. I just moved my title bar to the left side to give more vertical room.

Re: fvwmbuttons keyboard

Well, I got caps working! I haven't decided yet if I'll bother with a ctrl key or not. Here the new code:

Known issue: If you close the window with caps set it will come up in the wrong mode. Same thing if you have more than one keyboard running. Just click it and it will fix itself.

Code:
