You'd also need a way to tell the blank window to quit when you close roxterm.

I think that I mostly understand what you're saying here in theory.

I had it so when I pressed the Enter key, it would run a script to send a Return signal and then close the keyboard.

The thing is, when it sent the Return signal, the script would restart all over again.

Thus giving me the joy of watching a stupid infinite loop of unhappiness.

I've changed my mind and decided to never let this thread die.

Okay, so I would like to give this a try and see if it will work on Diablo 4.
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=76162

Here's the .deb.
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...emo2_armel.deb

It's saying that it needs Liblua5.1-0 5.1.3-1.
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...5.1-0/5.1.3-1/

This needs other junk and those also depend on others as well.

I'd like to save all of the debs on my memory card and do a manual install.

So what are all the debs needed and in what order should they be installed?

Thanks.

By the way, auouymous, if you ever decide to make an invisble, 8 directional, virtual D-Pad on the right middle side of the screen to be used for Picodrive and Drnoksnes, that would make my entire year!

That way, the hardware keys on the left would be mapped as game buttons and you would have touch screen movement on the right.

Having this would open up a whole world of emulated games that previously wouldn't work well at all on the older N800.

Kind regards.

And it could also launch Xkbd when touched outside of the dpad region! Maybe even have a few programmable buttons around the dpad!

I'll get right on that!

Thanks for at least reading my request though.

Have you tried holding down the menu key in ScummVM while tapping an item on the screen?

^ Yeah, I've tried this with all of the hardware keys with no such luck on any of them.

Seriously? Will I ever let this thread die?!

Okay. Well so far this is very preliminary.

Anyway, while running TinyFugue, there will be at times two keyboards on the screen.

When I press the Enter key, I would like only the top keyboard to close.

If I have two running apps that are the same (both are Xkbd), how can I kill just this specific one?

All I know how to do is
killall xkbd
but that closes them both.

Kind regards!

`kill PID` where PID is the process ID.

Yeah, I kinda knew that one already.

How do I get the PID though?

The only way I know of is to type top in Xterm.

Also the PIDs seems to be completely random so there's no way of me possibly guessing as to what it may be each time.
