Guest224ok symbols file might be the modern keymap file. I found file symbols file for rx51 and droid4, but not symbols file for pinephone in pinephone. So what symbols file maemo use with pinephone?00:14
Guest224in directory there is so many that hard know.00:15
Guest224If somebody knows answer here I check logs tomorrow.00:16
gnarfaceif Guest224 comes back, tell them about my hypothesis that it probably works like debian since it's based on devuan. try checking out "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" (i could be wrong about this, just a guess)07:55
gnarfaceif it's handled like debian and devuan then i believe that whatever configuration file it's stored in is also touched by that command07:56
Guest224gnarface: thanks for hints, that make me look again some commands and "setxkbmap -query" gave some answer to check.10:26
Guest224by default Maemo Leste use PC105, US layout with Pinephone Keyboard. With rules: evdev10:30
Guest224So that will be my starting point.10:32
Guest224oh..I might gave up..it is impressive how complex linux is these days in simple things like keyboard.11:11
Guest224maybe should merge some of her works about Pinephone Keyboard to Leste: https://codeberg.org/aLilyBit/ppkb-layouts11:59
arno11sicelo: i've got sphone keypad working in landscape :)16:44
uvos__arno11: its probubly more usefull to tag me instead of sicelo wrt sphone, since i am its author. wdym got the keypad working in landscape? the keypad is hidden on purpose when the horizontal size of the window is below a certain threshold, to avoid makeing the buttons to small to use17:29
uvos__did you write some code to make the layout adaptive? ie move the keypad to the right next to the other buttons when the window size falls below the threshold17:29
uvos__*...hidden on purpose when the vetiical size of the window...17:30
arno11uvos: i made btns smaller, and replace keypad by backend_combo in horizontal size option in code17:33
uvos__i think it would be better to move them to the right of the other buttons instead, but maybe send a screenshot of what you did17:34
arno11yes maybe better17:36
arno11i'll send a screenshot a bit later.17:37
siceloarno11, you mean the vkb? anyway i do feel, as you also alluded, that the backend and cancel buttons belong elsewhere. I've raised the idea before, but it was rejected17:51
sicelooh, you mean the T9 :-)17:58
arno11uvos: https://ibb.co/D9sCkzZ18:07
arno11this way the keypad is usable IMO18:08
arno11sicelo: yes the t918:10
arno11just modifying 8 lines of code18:13
arno11sorry 518:13
Wizzuptop18:24
Wizzupoops18:25
sicelocool18:57
sicelobut yes, adding this as extra columns instead of rows would be more ideal, i think :-)18:58
arno11agreed19:02
arno11i'll try this evening i think19:02
sicelowhat did you do about Backend button?19:05
arno11there is an option in code to hide keypad if height < 500px19:06
arno11so i replaced keypad by backend_combo...19:07
arno11this way combo is hidden and keypad shown instead19:08
siceloi think the backend button should go to settings ... but yeah, you need to discuss with uvos19:08
arno11yes19:08
sicelommm, maybe, if having it in settings is undesirable, it could go on the first row ... maybe to left of the number entry widget19:08
sicelothe for the remainder, it could be 4 rows ...19:09
sicelocolumn 1, from top to bottom, would have, Contacts, Recent, Call, Cancel19:10
sicelothen T9 will be columns 2-419:10
arno11why not19:10
sicelowhy not ... what?19:10
arno11lol i mean contact, recent, call , cancel19:11
sicelonot sure i understand the question :-)19:12
arno11it was not question, i just agree19:12
arno11:)19:12
sicelobut yeah, i think something like the above idea can help keep buttons somewhat big, for fat fingers :-p19:12
arno11yes19:13
arno11(back in 15min)19:14
