Title: Frodo Useless Without Commas
Post by: zaphod on January 13, 2005, 10:32:34 pm

It's impossible to load games w/o being able to
type a comma.

Hi!

Just disable KeyHelper - type 'khctl disable' in konsole before running Frodo. After Frodo gaming don't forget to 'khctl enable'.

I tried that, but the slash/comma key still does not work in frodo. I poked around the keyboard a bit, shifting and Fn-ing all the keys.  A few strange characters appeared, but still no comma.

See if this post helps:

It worked great on 1.21, but I haven't tried it yet on 1.22 (though I plan to).

@cfloland
The post you cite seems not to be there. When I click it, I get a message saying it was not found. Could repeat what it said?

Did you try LOAD"FOOBAR":8:1 ? That works for me...

Sorry, it was a search and seems to have gotten lost.

You can do a search for the word "amen" for posts by clofland.

But, I'll just paste the contents here:

Yzord, Datajerk has it, just go into /home/root/Applications/cyrillica/english and change like so:

WAS:

[keyboard]
',' ',' '/'
'/' ',' ','
'?' '?' '.'
0 0 0

NOW:

[keyboard]
',' ',' ','
'/' '/' '/'
'?' '?' '?'
0 0 0

(If it doesn't work, I know there are lines in keyhelper.xml that swap things too, so maybe you need to take those out, I already did.)

and walla!

OR what I did was copy english, to another name and make another keyboard file with the / and , not switched. BE SURE to edit the label in your new file (at the top) or you can't tell which keyboard you are in.  

Now I just switch between the two keyboards, and just as quick as lightning my , and / switch back and forth! SWEET!

It is amazing!

Who knew I'd find a use for cyrillica.  I don't write in other languages very often these days. I wish I had had this baby when I was in Russia, but that was years ago.

Only bad thing is now my Z is back to saying "AMEN" all morning. I feel like I'm in church.  Now I know how to change that EN label though.
