Hi,

One thing that I didn't like about the tablet is that I couldn't properly use the terminal while thumb typing. That's because the thumb keyboard hides the terminal entirely.
How can one use Midnight Commander for instance like that !?

Therefore I have modified the osso-xterm to show a "transparent" keyboard (it's actually only the symbols on a standard QWERTY keyboard) thus allowing to a more natural terminal use.

This is only the first version of the change, but it's functional and I already use it on my tablet.
Of course many improvements can be done, I'm waiting for your opinions.

I am attaching the executable as it is (no packaging) and I would be interested if anybody else finds it useful.
(Actually the .deb file I have attached is a .zip, so pls rename it and unzip it to get the osso-xterm executable. I did this because otherwise it wouldn't let me attach it).

Daniel
