I've made something very close, which create a mapping following the window name (windows/xlib)

https://git.chimrod.com/smartcropad.git/about/

I've made it for circuit python, and it works with a serial connexion / JSON messages. (It could be updated with raw USB )

Not yet finished, but already used daily.

I'm using passwordstore + self hosted git server.

Passwordstore uses gpg for the encryption layer which combine fine with ssh (used to connect to the private repo).

I'm using qtpass as gui and there is also a client for Android named password store

Thanks ! I understand what I did wrong. I do not have the motivation to remove the header from the controller and put them in a proper way. I will keep it as is — as the result from my first attempt to solder my keyboard!

Now I have to find a way to stack three layer for the screen!

I've soldered the female headers on the board:

It’s a matter of taste, I use the encoder when I need to go quickly into a given position, without any requirement for the precision.

So it’s ok for me to use it to scroll a webpage, zoom-in zoom-out inside a picture, or set the volume, but I prefer using a real key if I need to switch between tabs or applications.

 

Hello,

I’m building my first keyboard (a dumbpad), and I have a basic question which should be easy to solve when you know how to do it.

I’ve choosen to socket the microcontroller (in case of error, bad choice…) but I have now a question for putting the screen above: what kind of header should I use ? Is there high profile header or should I stack multiples headers ?

What would you use for this ?
