Opie for left-hander ?
« on: November 04, 2004, 05:45:29 am »
Hi all,

I'm a left-hander, and have (thus) some problem to move the thumb of the windows' scrollbar with my left hand under opie while reading what's in the window at the same time. Using my right hand to use the stylus is not an option without a complete brain format.

I can't find anything about this on google or on the opie site, so if there are some poweruser there that can think about a solution or a magical setting somewhere...

Thanks,
Brice

I believe this is being worked on by (some) Opie developers. The opie-embeddedkonsole terminal had a configuration setting that allowed you to do that but it's the only app where I've seen it.

That's already implemented and you can trigger it by adding a magic setting (LeftHand=1 or so) into qpe.conf. Unfortunately no one seems motivated to add a CheckBox to Opie-Appearance for that.
