Raspberry Pi OS • Re: HOW-TO: Bookworm On-screen Keyboard

Thanks for this! The latest raspberry pi bookworm installs the old version 0.12 of wvkbd so I manually installed the latest which is currently 0.15. See the github for changes: https://github.com/jjsullivan5196/wvkbd/releases

To install the latest I did:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/jjsullivan5196/wvkbdcd wvkbdsudo apt install cairo-dock-dev pango1.0-tools waylandpp-dev libpango1.0-0 libpango1.0-dev libpangocairo-1.0-0makesudo make installsudo mv /usr/local/bin/wvkbd-mobintl /usr/bin
The latest version works great with the tips mentioned in this thread.

Note: The list of apt install packages above worked for me but all may not be needed.

P.S. I'm a big tmux user. Anyone figure out how to do key combos like <ctrl><a><2> etc.? Since there is no number row on the screen with letters I haven't been able to figure it out.

EDIT: Figured it out. The <ctl> modifier stays active so I was actually hitting <ctl><a><ctl><2>. If I manually turn off the <ctl> modifier after I send the <ctl><a> prefix, it works.

Really enjoying this onscreen keyboard. Only thing I'm missing from the X11 onboard keyboard is the macros and fancy themes. Here's what mine currently looks like:

I'm using the "feature/desktop-layout" branch of this fork of wvkbd until the changes get merged in: https://github.com/FearlessSpiff/wvkbd

I also modified the super key and added a print screen key.
