Edex-ui: Bindings to hide keyboard

Created on 23 Nov 2018  路  9Comments  路  Source: GitSquared/edex-ui

I believe a good enhancement would be to have a configurable key binding to hide the virtual keyboard (or remove key highlights) in order to be able to record commands which need a password

help wanted idea roadmap

There is now a theme named tron-notype that has no keyboard and also has a larger filesystem pane.

To select it, click on:

And then pick the tron-notype theme.

If you want it to be your default theme, edit the file userData/settings.json and change "theme":"tron" to "theme":"tron-notype".

Congrats on getting it working, just posting to make sure someone who googles for this can find it easily.

eDEX doesn't use any key bindings or shortcut yet, but this might be an interesting idea.

I'm open to ideas about how we should implement this. Perhaps do a global "safe-mode" that blurs stuff such has keyboard keys and IPv4 info?

Would be nice to have a config to just hide the keyboard and show something alternatively, for devices that won't ever have touch. Maybe just enlarge the file browser.

Yeah i'll make a theme for that soon. Should take 'bout a minute but i'm busy with more pressing issues.

Just want to say, this can be easily done with the injectCSS feature that is available, try opening your userData/themes folder and make a copy of tron-typeleft.json and change at the bottom the section#keyboard{...} section to section#keyboard{display:none;}.

I'm aware this is a bit of a hack since the keyboard is still there, just not rendered by electron.
I'll try making a pull request to add a tron-notype.json theme, @GitSquared let me know if this is an OK solution for now.

@rslay yeah that was what i was going to do anyway, using injectCSS.

Perhaps you could also expand the filesystem display to fill all the space. PRs welcome.

Closed because of #288

Can you explain how to do this a little bit more, I am not sure I understood the instructions.
EDIT: Found the theme. Thanks!
