Unofficial patches

[Vitel]

I propose to post in this thread Pandora-related patches, which won't be merged to the official repos due to some reason, but may be useful to somebody.


Moderators: when I try to attach .patch or .diff, I get "Error You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file".


Please change the forum policy appropriately.

right-shoulder-btn-as-fn.patch is a linux patch, which maps Fn to the right shoulder button. I.e. it swaps Fn and RCtrl.


This patch won't be merger to the Pandora Kernel Repository since it contradicts the official keymap.


Should be applied to the 2.6.27 version.

How about a patch to make SHIFT sticky like Fn?


(but not lock like caps lock, meaning it goes to false after presisng one letter capital)

I hate this feature of Fn so I removed it in my patch. And I don't understand, why would you need it when Shift and Fn are easily accessible via shoulder buttons. Sticky modifiers are useful on devices with ugly keyboards (like smartphones), but not on Pandora IMHO.


BTW, I updated the patch and added few additional Fn-mappings. This is how the final layout looks like:

TBD: write keymaps for kernel and xorg.

I can't find the DEL key ?

I can't find the DEL key ?

Any suggestions? I was thinking about Fn+Q, but haven't made any bindings yet, because I don't use Del very often.

I would have to have a panda in my hands before making recommendations


but i am a bit worried about the bash/C friendliness of all the special characters

the shoulder buttons are just awkward to access in some situations/when held in some positions
