Your wish is my command Check out my latest release (0.9.3): https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_...elease_id=1805

Actually, I've consolidated Shift and Alt to Sh/Alt (ok, so it's not a great name) in the ModeA key, and pad swap is in the ModeB key (replacing the old shift location).

Edit: I wanted to use the &!e' key, but it doesn't look like it gets a callback when clicked??? This is a bit strange... I'm curious how the built-in virtual keyboard uses this key in the first place...

The ModeA key goes from (nothing) -> Shift -> Shift Lock -> Alt -> Alt Lock -> (nothing).

The ModeB key goes from (nothing) -> Swap -> Swap Lock -> (nothing).

I've also added a bit of code to display the last composed key in the middle of the appropriate input area. This is incredibly useful for password fields.

Also implemented pixel color detection (as discussed before), etc.

Oh, and bousch, thanks, looks like I had goofed with my little image editing job; the exclamation mark is now shown. Hadn't noticed it at all, really...

This was a fun little project; there's still a bit of polish to add, but once that's done, I'll try to hunt down some graffiti implementation or port xstroke (hopefully the latter isn't too slow...)
