hmm, i have tried using kp_enter but it seems to have same result as regular enter (hildon probably catches both of them), i will try to sniff out how to make it work

Another question, when hitting either the "Meta" or the "Alt" keys, all of them light up together as if they were connected... I used "xev' to sniff the keycodes being generated and what I see is two keycodes in sequence being generated (64 and 134) when pressing one of these keys. Any idea what is going on?

KP_Enter works from xkbd. (Enter has same behavior of kicking up thumb-board.)
It's not a case of Hildon catching both, I'm pretty sure.

Does this work?

ANSWER: No, it doesn't. The keyboard still pops up and down. CTRL-m is still your best bet.

They are both available via apt-get install; I couldn't find libxpm4 on pupnik.de

as for documentation, probably looking at example layout files. they're in the source package, i have put some of them in the same place as binary, for example german layout:

mkdir /etc/X11/app-defaults/
wget -O/etc/X11/app-defaults/XVkbd-german http://mrrau.dyndns.org:23280/n800/x...Vkbd-german.ad

then you will have it selectable as a runtime menu option
Ok, two problems. First, the "Hide button" mod is not in the keyboard layout file itself... I surmise it is a mod on the xvkbd code, no? I loaded the German layout that you provided and sure enough switching to it makes the "Hide button" go away. Edit: In fact, going back to the "default (US" layout doesn't bring back the "hide button".

Second problem, on checking the Spanish layout file (from the v2.9 distribution of xvbkd) I see that the lowercase / uppercase mapping of spanish "n" with diacritical "~" is not quite right: the lowercase mapping comes out in uppercase... I suspect that there's a character-set problem involved. In comparison, the v3.0 of xvbkd that I have tried on Easy Debian seems to have the international character maps perfect. Edit: The situation is that the onscreen kbd keys are all shown in uppercase, but are actually delivered in the right case as coded in the layout files.

Could you make your modified source available? How did you get build the source without the 'imake' tools in scratchbox?

Hi! i'm a heavy user of xvkbd since i discovered it.. i would like to know if we could modify it a little.. it actually bothers me when iconified it blocks the access to the scrollbars.. mostly when browsing..

Cheers..

@delaroca: source is on the same site as the binary
@unwired: sure, it was more proof-of-a-concept which i have planned to make configurable, but got sidetracked with other things

maybe i should look at v3.x too when i'm at it
