Yes, it is possible to add support for the virtual keyboard for X11 applications not using Gtk. All you need is access to the X11 main event loop (you must be able to evaluate XClientMessages) and an application call back that calls you every time the application demands keyboard input (open virtual keyboard) and want to loose keyboard input (close virtual keyboard). The quoted code already contains the necessary code you retrieve keyboard input what seems to be missing is code to trigger the opening and closing which you can find in my code. I havn't found out all of the functionalities but current code is enough to get things working. See http://www.anderenen.de/anderenende/maemo.html for more information and ask me for details if you have problems with the code. > 3) how do I add the symbols to the key event loop? Right now, only > ASCII (7bit) makes it through, I think. The virtual keyboard input is UTF8. So that is not a problem of the virtual keyboard. Btw., other are right that there better editors to port for such a device but that is your decision ;-) -- Gruß...
