Talk:Changing keyboard layout on Touchpad

Cursor keys

Thanks for this; one thing I very quickly realised was the most amazing omission from the TP keyboard was any way of moving the cursor (especially if you mis-type a long web address), specifically [home] [end] [->] and [<-] options. I had been wondering whether the layout itself could be amended to insert a generic cursor-move key (pref by reducing the width of the space bar and adding [<-] and [->] under the 'n' and 'm' keys, with shift giving the [home] and [end], but the info here suggests that may not be possible. Having other options on the [Tab] key might be? Anyway, anyone else looking at possible ways to add these oh-so-necessary functions? --AlisonW 12:21, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Nope, sorry. As I get it, it is mostly not even keyboard but paste tool. All it does is pasting characters that are assigned to buttons in text. May be there are special buttons for moving cursor programmed somewhere in binary, but as they are not present in standard layouts itself I cannot say which codes they can have.

I took a shot at making a Klingon pIqaD keyboard, using the Unicode PUA. I replaced the azerty layout with the qwerty layout and replaced all the standard characters with their pIqaD equivalents. The keyboard patched fine, but seems to be having issues. All the keys are now grey, like the number keys, and none of them will send the MAIN character. Tapping shift switches the characters to sending their SEC character and the EXT sets still popup. Tapping +=[] does nothing at all. Has this been experienced by anyone else? Is there something I could have done that would have caused this? --Qurgh 18:06, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
