Adding terminal layout?

Open bhush9 opened this issue 3 years ago • 13 comments

I wonder if it is possible to add a terminal layout with additional buttons like Ctrl/Alt/Esc etc?

Sure that would make sense.

@jpetersen do you have any hints on how this can be implemented? I am mostly not sure about how modifier keys would work..

Any more details on how to achieve this? I’m not sure where to start to make this happen but I’d love to help.

As a proof of concept, cellwriter had an OSK that was doing wonder for that, as alternate input method to handwriting recognition, and also when using a terminal. I say had, because I use kwin-wayland, and I can't have the input actually sent to the terminal. I can compose it, but the terminal, or whatever app, can't see it, so pretty useless.

Only solution I've found to be able to navigate the tablet-pc without repeatedly getting stuck and having to plug a keyboard, I switched to gnome, because I can use https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4413/improved-osk/. Linux applications are making use of keyboard shortcuts: Okular requires Ctrl+Shift+F to leave full-screen mode. If you can't do that, even closing it won't fix it, it will always open in full screen mode. The alternative is to use a full fledged mouse, but if you have one you probably also have a keyboard.
