@bge, if you're really looking for another fun little project , maybe you would want to try your hand at TypeItIn or one of the Linux apps are that are similar? I've been trying to get someone interested in it, maybe you're l'homme for the job.

Here's my first shot at tempting someone. In that thread, if you're interested, it might be worth looking at Benson's post #3, where he talks about HWR-generated character strings and some other ideas.

Then I made another pitch here. In that thread, it would be worth looking at my posts #7 and #9, where I list various macro-typing apps implemented in Linux. Possibly more helpful are Benson's posts where he outlines a way (that I can't follow) to make the type of program I'm talking about, especially #11, 15, and 16.

To my mind it would be great to have a form-filler since it's not that easy to type on the Tablets. If you read the first post of either thread, though, you'll get enough of that viewpoint! Auto-typing in Xterm was not the main point, and as geneven points out in the second thread, maybe I mis-marketed the app request.

So, Benoit, how's this all look to you? Interesting?
