Keyboard for the Visually Impaired
« on: May 20, 2009, 06:56:46 PM »
Is there a DLable keyboard layout for the Visually Impaired?

Maybe just all caps A-Z and 0-9 in 22pt. Profont.

Thanks!

Thanks, I got one made and it works when I "Play" the file,but, I put a copy in the .rockbox directory so I would become the "default" keyboard and this doesn't work.  What did I miss.  Is there another directory or a setting I missed?  Thanks!

Thanks so much, I made it work.

I edited the config.cfg to contain:
kbd: /.rockbox/VIlayout.kbd

with the VIlayout.kbd file in the .rockbox directory.

Thanks, I can now use the Keyboard.

Edit: Decided it was best to add a .and a /  also.
 BTW, The files must be in UTF-8 encoding and you must reboot for the changes to take effect.
