Suggestion: Add nSpire CAS non-CX Layout

Open ghost opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

I would like to suggest making the Keyboard layout of the nspire CAS, because it has keys that are now abstracted in fewer, for example in the CAS nspire there was a button specific for ", in the app I can't write directly ", because it's needed to use the control + multiplication button, and if I try typing =, then opens a menu with options. The nspire Cas keyboard has more buttons so it would help with typing directly from the device keyboard instead of clicking, and the key < returns E (as of 10^) and / returns \. Also, I would like to suggest making the key ´ for the flag button and right-click for the menu button.

The way the classic non-touchpad CAS layout is designed doesn't really make it useful for mouse or touch use. That's why only the touchpad layout, which is available for all models, is implemented.

Support for different keypad layouts (both the displayed one and the keyboard -> keypad mapping) is not available, but if someone were to contribute both, I'd try to integrate them.

right-click for the menu button.

Right click on the screen is already mapped to "click".

  1. Someone didn't look at the commits: https://github.com/nspire-emus/firebird/commits/master
  2. PRs are welcome, so if something specific is wanted, maybe people can contribute in addition to just ask and complain.
