Subject: [stella] Keyboard Controller layout From: "John K. Harvey" <jkharvey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2000 12:42:16 -0600 |
Hello. If I were to use 1 keypad controller for text purposes, how would you recommend I do it? ABC, DEF, GHI, JKL, MNO, PRS, TUV, WYZ, QX = 9 options And then have a 1, 2, or 3 button (i.e. press ABC, then 2, get 'B') This works, but what if I wanted more characters? Say I wanted a space, a period, a hyphen, or something. Then: 9 letter options 2 keys for punctuation 1 'Send' key, i.e. press ABC 3x, press send, 'C' is sent. The problems with this scheme involve: 1) What if send is pressed with no input? 2) What if ABC is pressed 4 times, then send is pressed? See, it's messy. Any other ideas? What about using 2 buttons pressed at once or something? -John K.
