Gp2x-write: A Text Editor For Gp2x V1.0.1

[zx-81]

I'm pleased to announce the first release of GP2X-Write a simple text editor for the GP2X.

It permits to edit even huge text file, in both dos and unix mode, using iso8859-1 (8bits) characters encoding. All iso8859-1 characters are present in the "Danzeff like" virtual keyboard.

How to use it ? Everything is in the README.txt file.

Hi, can a USB keyboard be used in it?

 

[Alex.]

This looks like a very complete piece of software, thanks a lot zx!

I like the rather unique virtual keyboard, how fast can you type on it?

 

[zacaj]

Can it open files too?

Unfortunatelly not ... but it shouldn't be so complex to do, i've done it already for IR keyboard on PSP.

@Alex: not really fast, but if you want to read a text file or just modify it a bit, it's good enough

@zacaj: yes

Thanks zx-81! It works like a charm!

 

[Lobo]

Great App! I've been waiting for a text editor like this!

 

[jose1711]

very nice app. could you please add support for iso8859-2 encoding? thank you. jose

 

[rx_shorty]

Sweet!

Going to try it tonight...
Think keyboard support would be nice if possible!

 

[senquack]

Very, very good app, thanks a bunch, zx-81 we needed something like this (vi in sterm is a nightmare).

Just one slight feature request:
To make this the killer GP2X text editor, we need a quick-undo command. I find myself making mistakes all the time, even though the interface is as good as anyone could create.

 

[rx_shorty]

Ok tested it.

Nice find with the Keyboard.
In the beginning it is pretty hard but now it is working pretty good!

Thanks!

yes, it could be useful

A virtual keyboard for use with the touchscreen of the F200 would be cool too.

How can I enable Numbers and special characters on the virtual keyboard? haven't found this yet.

THX. This should be added in the readme

Yes you're right. this kind of virtual keyboard is used in many different psp homebrew so people are already used to it, but it's not the same on the gp2x scene.
