Hey all.

I managed to put together a nice little on screen keyboard using ArnimS's Xkbd build found here:
Xkbd Software

I've tested it out only in "Notes" and I have yet to upgrade to Diablo.

Anyway, here's how to launch it in Xterminal:
xkbd -geometry +65536+66240 -k /media/mmc2/side.xkbd

If you want it on the top screen, it will be:
xkbd -geometry +65536+65536 -k /media/mmc2/side.xkbd

If the Upper and Lower cases are reversed when typing, click on the CAPS LOCK button and close out they keyboard.

From then on it should always work correctly.

I figured out what I was doing wrong with some of my other vertical keyboards. I might clean them up within the next few days if possible.

If anyone has suggestions on how to make this better, post your ideas.

Anyway, here's the keyboard:
side.zip

And here's a screenshot:



Cheers everyone!

Nice app. Thanks.
A qwerty layout would be nice though.
