myKbd 1.55

[pruss]

myKbd is a keyboard utility for the T3, T5, TX and LifeDrive that uses a layout optimized for stylus tapping, and allows for entering words by dragging through several letters.

I've released myKbd 1.55. One new feature: There is an internationalization menu that lets you set the order in which the cycling brings in different accented letters depending on your selected language. Languages currently included are: French, German, Polish and Spanish.

Nice update, Pruss!

Is there any way that you know of to add Greek characters to the cyclization? I've tried adding them in the text file but after I compile the keyboard - they don't show up. I use Greek letters a lot in my study notes (eg: slight variations in protein structure are identified but a greek letter prefix).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. :-D

Do your fonts have the Greek characters? Which character numbers are we talking about?

There is a font set within Docs2Go that has greek characters (it's called symbol) but as for if my Font Smoother set has greek characters, I don't think so. However, I mainly use the greek characters in D2G (word docs) while typing up class notes and D2G ignores FontSmoother. If this is possible using FontSmoother & myKbd, I could take my notes using CardTXT instead of D2G.

Basically I only really need these lower case greek alphabet - α β γ δ ε θ λ μ π ρ σ φ ψ ω; And perhaps a capital delta and omega would also be nice.

Thanks for the response.

If it's in the symbol font, I assume you need to switch fonts before it's available. myKbd will not switch fonts for you...

FWIW there was a review (http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=12624)on BrightHand almost a year ago ;)

Hi,
I've been playing a bit with the keyboard generator and finaly managed to make myself a nice hebrew keyboard
that will work on my tx (hebrew by piloc).

But .... (yeah you saw it coming :) ) the only way i figured to switch languages now involves using the macro buttons to change skins, kinda slow especialy considering without the skin you just press the 'intl' button.

(like the dos era piloc replaces the system font accented letters for hebrew ones)

is there an easier way i'm missing ? i know the whole idea was to put all the characters on the hex keyboard but spliting most of the keys seems messy and would probably put a stop to writing without lifting the stylus.

either way, thanks for a great program pruss :)

I don't have a better keyboard switching method right now. Sorry!
