Title: Keyboards for Plugins
Post by: smbgaiden on March 04, 2008, 02:26:48 AM
Hi All,

First time poster. Love you all for your brilliance related to rockbox in all ways.

I was able to download a rockbox bleeding via a SVN sync to the head of the trunk. Then I went about building it using cygwin on windows. I was able to successfully compile and build.

The next task I was to embark on was to expose the kbd selection routine up to the plug in layer. Basically, I want to port a sourceforge software that makes sense when the user is able to switch between keyboards within the application.

I know I can do this locally and spin my own build for personal use, but there doesn't seem like much fun w/o sharing. Which leads to my question, does anyone else want to see load_kbd made available to the plugin VTable? Being new to here, I noticed no one had specifically requested it in flyspray, so I thought I'd issue this poll. If off protocol and I am going the wrong way about everything related to contributing to rockbox, please don't hesistate to delete this message and kindly PM me that I was out of line. Thanks for reading!

Sounds like a reasonable idea to me.

Go post us a patch on flyspray when you've got something to show us.

I put it on there, thank you for the considerations. It had a comment added, because I neglected the version bump.
