Hello, I would like some guidance on whether the following idea makes sense to do as a fvwm module.
1. I own a simple drawing tablet, that I typically position in portrait orientation right next to my keyboard. 2. The rectangle of the drawing tablet maps to a rectangular area of my (landscape) screen through xinput. 3. I would like to define fvwm keystrokes that can change the mapped area (by invoking "xinput set-prop"). I.e. to move and zoom the drawing area on the screen. 4. Similar to the fvwm pager, I would like to have a visual indication of what area of the screen the drawing tablet currently maps to. Here are some simple visualizations sketches that show what I would like to have for the "tablet mapping display": +-----------------------+ +-----------------------+ +-----------------------+ |+--------+ | | | | +--------+ | || | | | +----+ | | | | | || | | | | | | | | | | || | | | | | | | | | | || | | | | | | | | | | || | | | +----+ | | | | | |+--------+ | | | | +--------+ | +-----------------------+ +-----------------------+ +-----------------------+ Tablet maps to left side Tablet maps to zoomed Tablet maps to right of screen center of screen side of screen My question is especially if it makes sense to write 4 as a fvwm module? What's a good starting point? Also, once I have a written a module, how would I send it messages to update the visually shown rectangle mapping? Thanks in advance!
