Svkbd has been optimised for use on mobile devices with a touchscreen and implements press-on-release
|
||||
behaviour (which can be disabled), it also works fine on normal desktop systems with a regular mouse.
|
||||
|
||||
Advanced Usage
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
Svkbd has an extra output mode where all keypresses are printed to standard output. Optionally, you can also disable the
|
||||
default X11 keypress emulation. This gives you the freedom to use svkbd in other contexts and use simple pipes to
|
||||
connect it to other tools:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
$ svkbd-mobile-intl -n -o | cowsay
|
||||
|
||||
This becomes especially useful if you want things like haptic feedback or audio feedback upon keypress. This is
|
||||
deliberately not implemented in svkbd itself (we want to keep things simple after all), but can be accomplished using
|
||||
the external tool [clickclack](https://git.sr.ht/~proycon/clickclack):
|
||||
|
||||
$ svkbd-mobile-intl -o | clickclack -V -f keypress.wav

||||
|
||||
Notes
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
This virtual keyboard does not actually modify the X keyboard layout, the ``mobile-intl``, ``mobile-plain`` and ``en`` layouts simply rely on a standard US QWERTY layout (setxkbmap us) being activated, the other layouts (``de``, ``ru``, ``sh``) require their respective XKB keymaps to be active.

If you use another XKB layout you will get unpredictable output that does not match the labels on the virtual keycaps!
