Revision as of 07:52, 4 September 2012
, 07:52, 4 September 2012→Build from Source on the XO
Build the sources:
Build the sources:
* First build the maliit-framework:

(If you build HEAD you can build with a [http://gitorious.org/maliit/maliit-framework/commit/6b9fc972d06b05a1c57749a1eec8b244b671d368 fix for the keyboard rotation], pass the DISABLE_TRANSLUCENT_BACKGROUND_HINT config)
* Then build the maliit-plugins:

* Instruct GTK to use the Maliit IM_MODULE:
* Instruct GTK to use the Maliit IM_MODULE:
Install the following [http://dev.laptop.org/~erikos/maliit/sugar-session sugar-session file] in /usr/bin/sugar-session. This sets the environment variable for 'GTK_IM_MODULE' to 'Maliit' on Sugar startup.

* Change the style
To adjust your settings have a look at maliit-framework/examples/apps/maliit-exampleapp-settings-python3.py If you change the header to say '/usr/bin/python' to not try to use Python3 you can use it to do Maliit settings (you have to run the script from within Sugar).
./maliit-exampleapp-settings-python3.py about libmaliit-keyboard-plugin.so
./maliit-exampleapp-settings-python3.py set libmaliit-keyboard-plugin.so current_style olpc-xo
You can add as well several languages to be available:
./maliit-exampleapp-settings-python3.py set enabled libmaliit-keyboard-plugin.so:en_gb,libmaliit-keyboard-plugin.so:de

==Advancements==
Keystrike accuracy will suffer compared to keys with tactile feedback. Users can compensate by visually aiming their keystrikes, but then spelling and textual context feedback will suffer because their eyes can't follow stdin and stdout or a transcription source and stdin at the same time.
Once a keyboard layout has been determined, the home or neutral position of each hand—its 'center-of-mass'—can be recorded as a displacement from some keyboard reference coordinate. If there were software monitoring for drift in the 'center-of-mass' for either hand, the position of the on-screen keyboard could automatically drift in compensation (within limits) to preserve accuracy.
Models of keyboarding styles would be needed to accommodate the many variations and patterns of keystroking in order to distinguish drift from 'in spec' intentional movement. Watch for research on this or other approaches to improve accuracy. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 23:09, 22 August 2012 (EDT)
