taaparthur / navboard Goto Github PK

The README states that the qwerty layout is the default:

When I run navboard without any arguments, I get the mobile_symb layout, not qwerty. The mobile_symb layout is also first in the list which doesn't seem like a coincidence:

sodco:~$ navboard -l
mobile_symb
mobile
number
qwerty
alarm
clock
colors
sliders
spawn
board_of_boards

Is this where it's happening?

If I set NAVBOARD_DEFAULT=qwerty that works but I don't think that's what you meant in the README?

I am working on a pushing an Alpine package. Can you clarify the license to use for navboard? MIT?

After the recent changes to the font search logic, a segmentation fault occurs if the font is not found:

sodco:~$ sudo mv /usr/share/fonts/liberation/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf .
sodco:~$ navboard qwerty
Segmentation fault

I was trying to test on my armv7 touchscreen device earlier and I couldn't figure out what was going on until I remembered I hadn't installed the fonts, which fixed it. Previously, a missing font resulted in a helpful warning and a graceful exit:

sodco:~$ navboard
Could not load font name /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf

Another question / request: what would be the best way to quit navboard in a touchscreen application? To me, having a quit key seems like the easiest solution but not many (any?) OSKs that I've tried include one.

I rebuilt navboard with the below patches and you can see the resulting quit key in the bottom right of the screenshot. It works well but using XK_0 seems wrong even though it doesn't appear to send the key before exiting.

Hello, I successfully built both dtext-xcb and navboard on Alpine Linux. I've been looking for a simple OSK for a touchscreen car application and navboard seems great so far in my limited testing. I had a build error that I fixed with the below patch, though I'm not sure whether that's the best fix or not.

A question: what is meant by the "generic application launcher" part of the project description? Thanks!
