Hi, We
launched a project recently and want to develop an open source Linux smart
phones based on Gtk+. It seems that there are some things need to do to tune
Gtk+ to suit for phone devices and one of them is how to navigate and
manipulate Gtk+ widgets using the limited buttons in phone keypad. As you
know, usually there exist the following key buttons in phone keypad: Two
function keys used to manipulate menu; Up/down/left/right arrow keys; Ok key;
Call/hangup keys; Among
the keys listed above, only arrow keys and Ok key will be used for widgets
navigation and manipulation and keybinding is not acceptable. Therefore, my
questions would be: 1. Do
you guys think it is necessary to modify the source code of widgets in order to
tune the widgets' behavior suitable for navigation in phone devices? 2.
Which way of modification is easier to be accepted upstream by Gtk+, say,
adding a new configuration option to Gtk+ and adding #ifdef to the source code
of widgets? Regards Yu Yijun |
