[GOK] Ang: problems

[Mats Lundälv <mats lundalv vgregion se>]

Hi Jim,

I hope you'll get some more expert help from the developers on this list soon.

Just want to tell you that when I test my GOK (v.2.28.1) sticky key function on my Ubuntu 9.10 installation (in VirtualBox) it works as it's supposed to do.
When I start GOK it turns the AT Sticky Key function on (which I always argue is weird - it should be the a feature within the OSK itself, as it doesn't make sense to mess with the hardware keyboard settings when you use an OSK _instead of_ the ordinary keyboard).
Then the Shift key on the GOK qwerty layout works just as the hardware Shift key with the sticky key function, that is:
- If you select Shift (or Ctrl or Alt) once - it holds the Shift for the one next following character that is selected, and then releases it (just as you report happens if you press Shift on the hardware keyboard - so that is as expected)
- If you select the Shift key twice it is locked for all following selected characters, until you select Shift a third time to release it.

If this doesn't work in GOK on your system it might be some problem with your version of GOK and your special Linux/Unix/Gnome version -  I don't know anything about CentOS or RedHat in relation to GOK I'm afraid.

I hope someone here can help you to sort it out very soon!

Mats

hello
  i'm trying to use gok. i am disabled with ALS. the problems i'm
experiencing are:
    sticky keys don't work on the osk. they do work on physical keyboard
and if i push a sticky key on the physical keys it works, for that press
only, on the osk.

    if i use word prediction after a couple of gok freezes and i have to
kill it.

i am using gok ver 2.24.0 and CentOS 5.2 which is equivalent to red hat
enterprise 5.2. my sysadmin has tried gok 2.29.91 on fedora 12 and
ubuntu, i don't know the ver, with no luck. i am using a trackball,
eventully i want to use opengazer.

if i start gok on comand line i get msgs:
