Quick virtual keyboard for scrollwheel models

(1/3) > >>

fredwbauer:
I have a patch (FS#10763) for units with a scroll wheel that makes the keyboard entry much faster.

The idea is to only use the scroll wheel when selecting letters. Scrolling backwards selects the row. Changing direction to scrolling forward changes the column. Changing direction again inserts the current letter and resets the position. This is much faster than clicking. The select button is mapped to backspace and left and right move the cursor in the edit line.



Edit: removed link to build per Llorean

Do you have the sources uploaded?
You need to since rockbox is distributed under the GPL.

*Note*
Some recent SVN changes break the keyboard patch, so if you want to use it you need to revert to revision 23550. There seems to be some reorganization going on in keyboard.c and I'm probably not going to resync the patch until it settles down.

Llorean:
Why on Earth did you post your unsupported build here rather than in the forum section clearly marked for unsupported builds?
