I also should revisit the German translation, as it's incomplete again due to all the changes since the last translation run.
I've made a video about maepad:
maemo Programs: MaePad for N900
I already wondered why the arrow key shortcuts weren't working - they should be assigned to the node view, not the overview, and I think it's even better to have them in the AppMenu. Right now, I've simply assigned the shortcuts to the right view, but I should eventually add check buttons to the AppMenu (for better discoverability - I guess you only discovered that by accident or looked into the source
).

I just want to tell thp that I liked PadMae better than MaePad, but it is probably just the associations I have with the former name

MaePad 1.1 "The Large Hadron Collision" is on its way to Extras-Devel. Here's a quick run-down of the changes since 1.0:
I consider this release ready for end users, and will be promoting MaePad 1.1 to Extras-Testing. Thanks for all the feedback, bug reports and feature requests so far. Please note that I'm not going to implement features where other, better solutions already exists (that's mostly for features that Xournal has and for the Wiki-like features that Conboy has).
- New shape tool icons by Claes Norin
- Menu items in memo view renamed
- Square and fill options for Sketch nodes in AppMenu
- Natalie Portman mode (for qole)
- Fix "no node content when new database is created" (bug 5113)
- Remove eraser-specific brush size (bug 5118)
- Don't open first node when opening a database
- Select correct items for longpress in main view
- Direct editing of checklist (touch to toggle check, longpress to edit text)
- Updated German translation (after exactly 2 years and 4 days

Text input is in other ports of Xournal. Aniello says that he is planning on adding that functionality in future versions of the n900 port.
However, I don't know if Xournal text input is as optimized for note-taking as it is in Maemopad+...
Doesn't really work well in Xournal, so I was thinking about showing a Textarea dialog where you can insert you text and it'll be added as an object.
I am thinking aloud here
I shall move to my own thread
Anyway, Xournal was never intended to be a text editor.

Seriously there are features which make an outliner-like application productive and which will be missed if they are not available- like searching, linking etc. Otherwise it drastically limits its application scenarios.
I understand that interlinking of note items is not the basic intention of MaePad. However entering a phone number or web address should be converted into a link so it can be quickly accessed via phone app or web browser- this is such a scenario. How often do we quickly write down web addresses and phone numbers so we have it at hand if needed? Click the link from the note and there you go.
I believe MaePad will be mostly used as a sophisticated notes application so why not give it the full usefulness it deserves

That is a rather vague expression as xournal and conboy both allow text formatting as well as MaePad does- so there we go eliminating formatting

What I'm not going to do is dig into the wpeditor library (the library that provides the rich text editor) and add new stuff to it. But again, feel free to step up and provide patches
