Guest fclifton Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Is there any way to make FingerKeyboard the default input after a soft reset? I tried setting it using SKTools, but it still does not come up as the default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jbrittmartin Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 once i replaced the file it was renamed with _'s in the filename instead of -'s. go in and change the filename.... changing all the _'s to -'s. then it worked great and i LOVE the bigger keys.

Guest spaghetina Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) Is there any way to change the position of the apostrophe from the long press of the "b", to the long press of the comma button?? I have tried, again and again, to figure out how to swap the two, but it always results in that button disappearing altogether, or screwing up the layout. As it stands, the apostrophe above the "b" makes no sense whatsoever, and I use commas and apostrophes all the time. I almost never use semi-colons, and that's what's above the comma, currently. If anyone can modify the layout without the arrows, to include the comma/apostrophe, and "b"/semi-colon change, I would be forever grateful. I know I'm not the only one looking for this mod either. I asked over on xda, but nobody seemed to have a solution. <_< Also, is there any way to make the long keypress/alternate character font size bigger? I love the larger keys of Omega's skin, but with the increase in button size, it'd be nice to be able to see the alternate text better also, since as it is, it's so tiny that it's almost illegible.

Guest momok Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) its actually not too hard if u try to figure out urself. Try to use Total Commander Explorer for this as the editing with the program will retain the indentations of the file so you can find the line you wish to change easily. Go to My Device\Program Files\FingerKeyb\Skins Use Total Commander to edit "skin-02-wqvga-port-01-eng.txt" port refers to portrait, while land refers to landscape. 'eng' naturally refers to the language =) If I'm not wrong, the mod replaces this file directly so you can just refer to this file directly. I would strongly recommend you make a backup of your file before you start your editing, especially if its the first time you are doing something like this. (To do that simply create a copy of the file and rename the extension from .txt to .bak so you know which is the backup) As you scroll down you will see each line going something like this: Key <random string of numbers> key0 key1 q,1,Q,# the example I used was for the letter 'q'. in 1st page it shows small q, and press and hold gives 1. pressing shift gives you capital Q, while press and hold gives the #. Search for the particular line for the letters u want to swop and do the editing accordingly. Hope it helps Edited May 26, 2009 by momok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked at the file over and over again. If it were another random letter key, it probably wouldn't be an issue, however, there's a different action assigned to the apostrophe that causes it to completely screw everything up when changed or edited, and it's not coded like a regular letter key. I know the exact lines that need to be changed, I just don't know what to change them to because they're not quite like your "q" example. Please, if someone knows how to do it, can you tell me the 2 lines of code that need to be entered? I don't need you to rewrite the whole skin, I just need 2 lines. I understand the PRINCIPLE of swapping the characters, but actually swapping them isn't working for me, changing the code isn't working, and is only succeeding in making things disappear or arrange themselves oddly.

Guest momok Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 perhaps you could post your code here because we have no way of telling how and why for sure without looking at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the skins directory find the scheme file for your skin, for example: for Black-Red - it is "skin-00-sheme-BlackRed.txt". Copy it to your PC, open with a notepad and locate this line: CScheme FontHold b3b3b3 Tahoma 10 700 the number "10" is responsible for the font size, change it to whatever suits you best, save it, overwrite and enjoy.

Hope this helps. Regards Oh maad11! You've done it! <_< That's absolutely perfect, and yes, I was/am using Omega's skin. I see that you had to change the commands from action.shift to something else in order to get it to work, along with the TEXTcomma, and that's the part that I never would have gotten! Perfect, perfect, perfect! If I make the same modifications to the landscape file, it should yield the same results, yes? Or would you happen to have an already completed landscape skin laying around? Either way, THANK YOU!! You've just made my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try my portrait layout (post #219), maybe this one would be OK? On the BlackIce layout, which has 5 rows, the bottom row has keys with up-arrow, down-arrow, left-arrow, right-arrow. I would like to shrink the size of the space key and add those left-arrow, right-arrow keys. I can look at your layout, but I haven't done any skin mods, and so am not sure how to shrink the space key, or add keys. Once I know how to do that I think I can figure out where to put them.

Guest spaghetina Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) How do i make the clicking noise to stop when im typing? its very annoying! Make sure FingerKeyboard is your default SIP, then go to settings, input, options, and one of the options is what sound you'd like for it to play on each keypress. Choose "none", and save the changes, and you should be good to go. Or, you can change it to any of the included sounds, all of which have loud and quiet options. I've found that the little bit of noise along with the vibration feedback really helps me to get a more pleasant "typing" experience, but some of the sounds are definitely more obnoxious than others.
