Software / Flash Card Program For Testing Vocabulary?

« on: November 24, 2007, 05:06:17 am »

Frederic, kurochka,

Thanks for your answers.  

The Opie Reader has code to send words to zbedic, and it works like a charm.  I presume that there must be a way to do the reverse, i.e., send words from zbedic to an outside application.

Right, Opie Reader and also FBreader do this.  I think it has to be in the sending application, so it probably has to come from the dictionary.  Or is there some kind of general scripting available for the Zaurus?  I have to look into that, maybe.

As Frederic mentioned, if you are dealing with lots of words, it is easier to prepare your list in a text editor (I use simplified format) and then convert it to tomotko format with this tool.

Thanks.  Yes, I guess for larger lists this is the way to go.  But it would be handy to pick things up as you go.  

best,

Ctop

Hi there,

I just recently found tomotko and started using it to expand my vocabulary.  Now, what I would like to do is to build voc lists from things I look up in a dictionary.  While this kind of works with copy & paste, it is incredible tedious, since I have to go back and forth between the dictionary (zbedic or ztenv) and tomotko.  I wonder if there is a way to make this interaction better for what I think this should be quite a frequent use case, no?
How are you building up your glossaries?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Tab Key In Rc11

« on: October 07, 2005, 05:30:54 am »

I don't think it's connected with the xmodmap files. I'm using a selfmade xmodmap file since RC5 and I haven't changed it, but I noticed the TAB key problem two times now.

I wasn't able to pinpoint how it starts and how to get rid of it (except reboot, that seems to work), or how to trigger the effect (because it usually works okay, only goes bad later).

So if you have any more information about the bug, share it.

RC11, SL-C860
Zumi
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=98349\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Hmm, just to make sure, I checked again.  On the console, before I start X, everything is as expected.  After starting X, in any terminal or other application, the <tab> key toggles also capslock on and off.  I first thought it was a feature, but to me this is very annoying.

Greetings,

Chris

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Tab Key In Rc11

« on: October 05, 2005, 06:48:41 pm »

Hi there,

After a few days with RC10, I recently upgraded to RC11 on my SL C860.  All looks very nice etc, but what drives me crazy is the strange behaviour of the tabkey.  It works as expected, for example in tab completion, but it also at the same time toggles capslock, so that the next letters typed come in UPPERCASE.  

I poked around and try to fix this in the /etc/X11/kb/corgi.xmodmap file, but that does not seem to have the desired effect.  I wonder if there is another keymap file somewhere, or where this is set.  

Any help appreciated,

Chris

Ah, right!! Thanks, Emacs now works just wonderful.  This will make exploring pdaXrom much easier :-)

Let me know if something is wrong

On RC11, it needs libungif.so.4, where do I find that file?
