Release Notes
A lot of work has been put into this release as bugfixes, memory optimization to make it more stable, reliable, and faster.
Examples of improvements:
•Faster key handling
•Handling of forms popping up on top of thumbboardDA.
•Field size sensing, eliminating field size overshooting.
•Launching a second time, closes thumbboardDA making it possible for TealLaunch users to open and close thumbboardDA with the same hard button.
•Bugfixes
Enjoy!

thumbboardDA v1.00
Introduction
thumbbordDA is a spin-off from the Thumbboard in my tejpWriter project. The thumbboardDA does not have all the features the tejpWriter Thumbboard has, but it's still very capable. Download thumbbordDA v1.00 here.
Features
·User configurable key layout.
·39 macros of max 45 characters each.
·Enhanced mode.
·Ergonomic key click on key down.
On which Palms can it be used?
thumbboardDA needs Palm OS 5 hires+ or 480x320 pixels, since the thumbboard only can be displayed in landscape. It is tested on Palm T5 and Palm TX.
In what applications can it be used?
In all applications with a Palm OS standard field not included in a table. Ex. Memos. Database applications like DB use tables, so thumbboardDA doesn't work there except in note fields.
Warning! It will even seem to work in tejpWriter, but only directly on what is loaded in the field. The swapping system will be put out of function which may crash you document.
How can it be launched?
thumbboardDA needs a DA launcher. There are a number of them available, but the one I recommend is Teal Launch with which you can launch thumbboardDA by pressing one of the hard buttons. It's a fast and intuitive way to switch between the base application and thumbboardDA. The field must have the focus (the cursor has to visible) to be able to launch it.
Warning! Do not launch thumbboardDA a second time while it already is running! It may crash the opened document!
How to configure the key layout?
thumbboardDA can be configured by writing any tejpWriter key layout into its preference memory. This is done in tejpWriter, Menu/Setup/Tap-Thumbboard by tapping on the "Write to thumbboardDA" button. I recommended you to do that as soon as you have installed thumbboardDA, since the built-in layout does not contain any modified characters by default.
Key Basics
Each key except the lower row keys and the backspace key hosts four functions. The bottom left part contains the normal function, a simple tap. The top left part contains the shifted function which requires a "Shift" or "SLock" before the tap. The lower right part contains the alted function which requires an "Alt" before the tap. The upper right part contains the altshifted macro which requires an "AltS", a double alt, before the tap. Up to 39 macros each with up to 45 characters may be programmed with or without a macro name displayed on the key cap.
All functions in all keys except the bottom row and the backspace key can be programmed to fit the individual user's needs.
Key Clicks
The keys click on key down, not on key up which is usual Palm OS behavior. This is for ergonomic reasons—you stop pressing when you hear the click. To hear the clicks, the system sound as to be enabled.
Moving The Cursor
The cursor is moved around with the five way navigator. The field is automatically scrolled when the cursor is about to leave the visible area.
Clipboard Mode
To get access to the clipboard function, press the five way center button. To indicate that you're in clipboard mode, the three buttons on the bottom row changes names to Copy, Cut, and Paste. Moving the cursor in clipboard mode, selects the text. When pressing any of the Copy, Cut, and Paste buttons exits clipboard mode.
Enhanced Mode
The "Enhanced" mode makes it possible to type shifted and alted characters without having to press "Shift" or "Alt". This can speed up data entry significantly. To type a shifted character, drag up on the character's key, and to type an alted, drag down on the character's key.
To type the altshifted macro (the "AltS" function), just drag left or right on the key. An other way to do it is to press "Alt" once, then drag down on the key of you choice.
The functions of the keys in "Enhanced" mode are activated on key up.
Special Functions
·To close the thumbboard, press "Alt" + "Close"
·To switch on and off "Enhanced mode", press "Alt" + "Enhc".

Le troisième .zip est la version, V.1.13
Bien plus efficace-et-paramètrable-et-open-source que ceux qui ont été mentionnés dans le thread de khertan concernant d'autres clavier tactiles...
, j'avais plutôt la sensation d'avoir fait ça à l'arrache.
-> ben, on dira que c'est un peu moins intuitif que ce à quoi on est désormais habitué ..
