Is there a pattern here? I have built the latest version of SciTE text editor for 2008 but the FULL-SCREEN key doesn't work. I've also been in touch with the author of Notecase who is having the same problem with the 2008 build of Notecase. Now, in a recent post I read that Anidel is not able to get the full-screen key to work in Xournal.

At some point we should wonder if this is a single problem. Are any other developers having this issue?

BTW, is there enough interest in SciTE that I should post it? (Full screen from the menu works.)

Yes, please!

That is one of the things I miss most in OS2008.

+1 !
I use it on the desktop for Python coding, and it was handy to have on my 770 too !

The fullscreen key on the nokia ITs maps to F6... this is a maemo specific thing. Since SciTE is written for crossplatform they dont do this automatically and hildon cramps it into that area. You need to find way to detect that keypress (F6) and issue gtk_window_fullscreen() call passing a pointer to the window. You can either keep the window pointer global so you can pass during callback or just find where window is created and force fullscreen at startup.

Hi,

I just found this document that is very helpful and (even tho I should work!!!!) I am trying a fast patch to Xournal to see if it works:

http://maemo.org/development/documen...#Hardware-keys

Dev note: I've noticed that the callback function to handle key events, in Xournal, is an empty function. It was also empty in the Etrunko's 0.3.1 port. Weird.

EDIT: I've just updated my port: full screen and zoom in/out buttons are now supported.

So did you guys solved your problems with the fullscreen handling ?

I am using SciTE now, though I haven't fixed the full-screen issue (I don't think it is the same problem as Anidel's). There are a few other bugglets; the icon for the menu is correct, but when the program is running, the icon on the program-selector-panel is the default maemo 4.0 icon. Also, sometimes you have to play a trick to get the virtual keyboard to pop up. This was a bug in the 2007 version too but my bluetooth keyboard worked so I didn't care much.

I haven't solved the full-screen problem yet. I already mapped the F6, F7 and F8 keys. The zoom-keys (F7 and F8) work but F6 doesn't.

When I have time to learn how to make packages I will post SciTE as it is.
