Tom Speirs Posted October 20, 2010 Author Posted October 20, 2010 There is a bug where it wont show the keyboard letters after reinitiliasing the display. Im currently upgrading my workstation. Ill get it fixed shortly.
Tempest Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Holy shit Tom, that is HOT!(I'm trying to make up for not giving thanks on the last update )
Tom Speirs Posted October 20, 2010 Author Posted October 20, 2010 Holy shit Tom, that is HOT!(I'm trying to make up for not giving thanks on the last update )Actually it is pretty cool.. Apart from the small bug.
fRequEnCy Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Thanks from me as usual! I'm the good one. LOL. This is great news. Can't wait to try it out. Sorry took so long to give thanks. Just got home. LOL.
headkaze Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Can someone take a screenshot of the keyboard and post it here please. Me wanna see!
GoTheBunnies Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Here's a newbie question - how does one upgrade? Is it just a matter of installing the new version in the same directory as the old one? And if so, I won't lose any of my config settings will I?Thanks
isamu Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Thank you so much Tom you ROCK!! Here's a newbie question - how does one upgrade? Is it just a matter of installing the new version in the same directory as the old one? And if so, I won't lose any of my config settings will I?ThanksThat is an OUTSTANDINGLY good question!
vsilvalopes Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Thanks for the upgrade Tom !I really want to see the on-screen keyboard!Time to Update! I'm stick on 11.25 !
celly Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Thanks Tom! No more keyboards!!!!!Can someone take a screenshot of the keyboard and post it here please. Me wanna see! Tried to but after I saw it once, it disappeared.
headkaze Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 It looks nice but perhaps it would be better to layout the keys in alphabetical order and make it more into a square shape so there is less area to travel from key to key? Would also look nice with a bezeled key graphic behind the text.
Tom Speirs Posted October 21, 2010 Author Posted October 21, 2010 It didnt occur to me not to use qwerty but having used it a little to test it is really quite nice and quick to use. At least for my brain.So Im happy with the functionality at least.EDIT: Id rather innovate
headkaze Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 This is the sort of layout I was thinking of.
Tempest Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Please leave it as qwerty. Otherwise, make it dvorak.

And if so, I won't lose any of my config settings will I?ThanksYes, install over the top of your existing directory. No, you won't lose your settings - but even if something goes wrong, Tom backups up your GameEx.ini file for you.
Ninja Rygar Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I Love it! I'd say keep it as QWERTY too... it's easy. Thanks for the update Tom, as always!
fRequEnCy Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I agree with QWERTY as well. Most games and apps I've seen with an onscreen keyboard have the QWERTY layout as well.
Draco1962 Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I agree with QWERTY as well. Most games and apps I've seen with an onscreen keyboard have the QWERTY layout as well.I would say there are just about as many that have the virtual keypad that are strialph, but being an old fart that failed typing in highschool, I find myself getting lost tryoing to find the letters when QWERTY I can fly through it.
Tom Speirs Posted October 21, 2010 Author Posted October 21, 2010 PC Rebuild is complete. 11.31 is uploading now. It fixes the keys disappearing and I also updated the signing on applicable exes with my latest certificate.
Tom Speirs Posted October 21, 2010 Author Posted October 21, 2010 I was thinking about possibly enhancing the online keybaord to allow real time filterting of lists. So you could like pop it up anytime. What do you guys think on that?
fRequEnCy Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Thanks for another update Tom! 2 thanks in 1 post. LOL. I do like the idea of being able to search anytime. It would save a few steps.
