How
to try GKOS typing on Linux
1. Install
Wine windows emulator (e.g. on
Ubuntu, you can find Wine on Synaptic packet manager list)
2. Download
gkosw.exe saving it where you
want to keep windows program files (to run them by Wine)
3. Go to that directory and enter
wine
gkosw.exe on your X window terminal command line.
You can now click on the gkos text area and start typing using sdf jkl
keys. Unfortunately, it is not possible to enter text this way to other
applications.
The COM port GKOS Keycode input has not yet been tested
on Linux. It also seems that autorepeat and shortcuts do not work on
Wine platform. So, it is only possible to type single characters (but
all of them of cource, the GKOS way) on Linux+Wine.
Anybody volunteer to port GKOS on QWERTY to Linux?
