morse code

[Mmmm]

it works! thank you all! i tried to enter it from the text screen, not from the virt keyboard screen.

great feature!

Oh, good...

Do you think that the new buttons are ok?
Do they horribly clash with the way that the buttons work in other areas?
What I mean by that is, I have changed the accept button from long press select to short press play. Is long press select always used as an accept button on other screens? Is short press play usually used for something very different to accept (like cancel for example)?
I have also used long menu to cycle in and out of morse mode. Does this feel right or does long menu usually do something quite different?

[alfred]

no, in my opinion it's good as it is. if you look at an ipod, the select button is the one you would intuitively use for this purpose, since it is the only "real" button on the ipod (the others are part of the scroll wheel. and a long press on 'menu' to change the input method is also more logical than a press on play. i like it, leave it that way!

[Mmmm]

Alright then, you won't have to use your new found patching abilities any more as it's in the main build now....enjoy

Hrm, H10 users are out of luck.  No mention in the manual of Morse code.  I've been trying random key combos without success.  Ah well.  

Patience until the devs complete more of the port?

[nls]

correct, mores input is not supported on the H10 yet, it should however just be a matter of defining a couple of keys for the vkeyboard, I might give it a try tomorrow.

Edit: Morse support is now in the latest cvs build for h10 players.

Just tried this on my H120 and it is a great feature, far better than virtual keyboard.

Checked flyspray, nothing on morse input.

Screen-keyboard lets you move the cursor and backspace characters.   Morse mode will let you delete characters, but you can not move the cursor.  

Workaround by switching out of morse, moving the cursor, and switching back.

I'm guessing this is particular to the H10 build, as morse input for the H10 was  only recently enabled.

So I'm getting the feeling morse is not yet an option on the Gigabeat players?

Can someone confirm this for me?

Try it now, that should've fixed it...  
It wasn't just the H10 either, it was all targets that use line edit.

Can anyone comment on whether morse code works on the gigabeat ?

[nls]

No, Morse mode is not enabled for the gigabeat at the moment, I might have a look at it some time, if I can find time and feel like mucking around in the sim ;-)

edit: Ok I enabled it for the gigabeat now, please try it out, POWER+A will switch between modes in the virtual keyboard.

[johnson4]

is it the daily build that I should try?

[Llorean]

Daily builds are only made once per day. It's pretty obvious from that, changes will not be in the old daily build.

You'll even notice we don't link directly to the Daily Builds any more.

Use the current build.

[johnson4]

right sorry for my confusion, I didn't realize you'd update the Current
Thanks a lot for doing that, Ill try it tonite.
