Paul, have you seen on market app called GameKeyboard (paid)? Any opinions about it, or ideas for this mod?
can we do something like this for mini ie mapping camera key for "jump" or "shoot" so that we can play multitouch fps games such as sandstorm etc???
You can try putting camera button as "R" and Vol+ button as "L". I did it with gameboid and it's very cool . BTW Loved your work
I would suggest to set Camera and Vol+ as L and R Trigger.
You could make left and right arrow as Vol+ and Vol- for the Script.
This is just what I tried to recommend and make a workaround for the missing Vol+.
As you can see:
But Paul reacted like this:
Maybe he didn't understand what I mean. Or he really doesn't like the idea.
or is it possible or a good idea to remap the volume buttons to the arrow keys beside the space bar so that we can use the volume racker as the "L". or you still hate the whole "L button on volume racker"? lol
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking about, but he simply hates it.
If a developer doesn't like an idea, we can't force him to do it.
I respect Paul as developer and if it's his decision, I won't try to change it.
Let's stop annoying him. If someone REALLY needs it, he can try to do it himself...
EDIT: Sorry, but after I wrote this I just thought "This can't be that hard..."
Here you go. (Attachment) Didn't test it exactly, but it should work.
Will take the picture from Paul and modify it.
Have fun.
Btw: The script by D4 in the original .zip seems to delete the gamepad.kl ?!?
It's written similar to this:
If there is no file called "mimmi_keypad.kl.bak" then rename "mimmi_keypad.kl" to "mimmi_keypad.kl.bak" and "gamepad.kl" to "mimmi_keypad.kl". If there is a file called "mimmi_keypad.kl.bak" delete "mimmi_keypad.kl" and rename "mimmi_keypad.kl.bak" to "mimmi_keypad.kl". (To translate into human speech.^^)
I changed that to not delete, but rename to "gamepad.kl".
EDIT2: Here is an ugly picture of the key mapping. I didn't find that font Paul used, so I made it this way. It's just for people who don't understand what finally is the point of this.

This is awesome, but I would like fully customized keyboard remapping if possible, similar to "Game Keyboard" on market. :X
Wait...how do you mean to use space for 2 keys?
