Post New Requests Here / IDEA to avoid double typing
« on: March 28, 2011, 04:29 PM »
It easily happens that you double-type, i.e. hit one key and at the same time happen to touch an adjacent key. You hit "x" and also happen to touch the "y" key at its edge, and you will have "xy" on the screen. But since the "y" key will activate its letter just fraction of a second later, the problem may be solved in the following way.

If there is a block of, say, 0.1 seconds whenever a key is hit, so that all other keys will be "dead" fore that 0.1 second, the "y" will not appear. In normal typing you will intentionally hit a second key that you want to hit a little more than 0.1 seconds later, and its letter will appear.

Of course, 0.1 second is just an example. I don't know what the proper value would be. The "dead" time will, therefore, have to be adjustable from 0 to, maybe, 0.5 seconds - or maybe even more - and the user will have to experiment until he finds the value that suits his typing pattern.

The block should obviously not apply to functional keys like CTRL etc., but just to keys which will put a character on the screen.

Skrommel's Software / Problem with Accents
« on: February 17, 2010, 09:55 AM »
A very useful program, BUT:
I have to hit the key for "!" TWICE to get the character !. The first time it is hit, nothing happens. This is annoying.
And I have to hit the END key TWICE to get to the end of the line. The first time it only takes me to the end of the word.
Why is that? What can I do?

Skrommel's Software / DonationCode Accents

Very helpful!
But I miss some other characters...
Where are the Danish letters?
And the Spanish upside-down ? and ! -?
And other accented letters?
See enclosure (dump from Office).

Maybe a newer version will have this, too?

Regards
JE
