Tinha desde há tempo pendente a tarefa de mudar para um teclado Android de código libre e hoje mudei para o Heliboard em dois minutos graças ao @pancho e ao @villares ⌨️ Obrigado! 😊
I got a new keytar as a gift yesterday. It's a MIDI controller only. I want to play this thing in band, but don't know what to connect it to. What's your favorite softsynth for playing live? Name presets, if you use them. Mostly classic rock. I prefer poly -- I can't keep myself from playing chords, even in lead lines. MacOS or maybe iPad.
Is there a way in #Gnome to make the right Super (aka "Windows") key behave like the left one? It would be nice to be able to lock the screen with one hand. Besides, I have zero idea what the "right Super" is even supposed to do on Gnome, because it doesn't obviously do anything except not act like a Super key.
HeliBoard is a privacy-conscious and customizable open-source keyboard, based on AOSP / OpenBoard. Does not use internet permission, and thus is 100% offline.
Can now select 5 "scale factors" for the size of the emojis, "Tiny" being the same size as default window text (which is normally indeed tiny for emojis)
Auto-stores these settings as well as the window dimensions (not position!)
Functionally the same (just clickable emojis in tabbed groups, display size and wait-time for restoring the X11 keyboard map configurable), but v0.2 has correct README info and build-fixes, so Qt tools are found without fiddling with make variables 🙈 so, use v0.2 😎
Thinking about what to include in #qxmoji v0.5. Many questions in mind...
I'll definitely "outscope" #l10n. Would be nice, but would also mean to import localized emoji names somehow (and, where to find them? 🤔)
For now:
🔹Unify persisting settings. history and window size are persisted on exit, wait time and display scale on every change. Not sure which one is the "better" approach...
🔹Should it be "single instance"? Should it offer an option for a "tray icon"?
🔹Add an "About dialog". Cause that's what you always do. 🙈
🔹Maybe find a way to speed up initial creation of the Emoji buttons?
🔹Anything else ...❓
🔹Add a "single instance" mode (configurable)
🔹Add a "tray icon" (configurable behavior)
🔹Add an "About" dialog
🔹Enforce using Qt's "xcb" platform
🔹Fix detaching on startup, add a flag (-d) to prevent it
Pretty usable as it is I hope ... although one could of course improve a lot (but have you heard of the 80-20-rule?) 🫣
Screenshot from #KDE this time, no particular reason, I'm still running #fvwm here 😎
This brings a lot of improvements and fixes, the most relevant being immediate persistence of settings and watching the settings file for external changes. To make this feasible also for restoring the history, a lot of work went into generating static emoji data that can be used efficiently (e.g. containing a hash table to find an emoji quickly).
BTW, this even works on #NFS, so if you have your home shared and you're running qXmoji on two machines as the same user, the history will auto-update in both instances 🥳
Hey Mastodon! If you live a life of a #geek, have a #hobby to share, maybe something about #robots, #programming, #handmade things, #keyboard building, and please join the @geeky group. Let it be the place to discover and share.🙂
So I like #Ableton. It's a good daw. But also pretty confusing. I wish I had a #Keyboard I could use to make music on but them keyboards are far from cheap. Very far from it and no mistake. #Music is one of those hobbies that it's a very high cost to start.
