Subject: Unicode events?
Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 22:42:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080207224206.GB4404@implementation> (raw)
Hello,
Some braille devices may be used as input devices, and some of them
don't have a PC-like keyboard, but a braille keyboard: when pressing dot
1, 'a' should be output. Currently, there is no way to do this with the
input layer: if we generate KEY_A, then that will be right for qwerty
keyboards, but not for non-qwerty keyboards. Then I'm wondering:
shouldn't we add a unicode event type, which will just hold the unicode
character that should happen?
Samuel
