Problem with virtual keyboard
« on: January 15, 2024, 11:45:02 PM »
I seem to have developed a problem with the virtual keyboard on my 5.5 Gen iPod running Rockbox dev build 9e802be969-231204 - see attached photo.

This evening I added about 35 new tracks to the iPod, rebuilt the database from scratch, and then ran the DiskTidy plugin to get rid of the ._* and .DS_Store files.  Afterwards I went to rename a file and encountered the weird virtual keyboard in the Rename screen.  I had also done the exact same procedure of adding the same new tracks etc on a 7th Gen Classic but its virtual keyboard is fine.  Maybe I inadvertently set DiskTidy to delete something that caused this?

Does anyone have any clues, explanations, suggestions, etc?  If not, I guess I will replace/rebuild my .Rockbox directory.  Maybe I should do that in any case...?

Thanks.

Looks like morse code. From manual:

Also you can switch to Morse code input mode by changing the Use Morse Code
Input setting or by pressing Long Menu in the virtual keyboard

So try pressing Long Menu to exit it.

You nailed it - thank you so much.

I looked at that part of the manual last night while searching for an explanation/solution, but it was late and I was tired and the Morse Code input mode statement didn't register in my fuzzy brain.  I must have inadvertently turned the mode on with a Long Menu press.  I often trigger unintended states by pressing a little too long on various buttons, but that was my first visit into Morse Code input mode.

Again, thanks.
