Hello!:
I have recently wanted to make a on screen keyboard, no reason why, just thought it would be cool, until I started to really think about the possibilities… In 2 hours I made a simple table, that will allow you to type, and backspace and more, with F1 to 5 keys that return so can be used for options. A Caps Lock function and others. I wanted to make it because it would be cool to use with monitors, it's ironic how this first update doesn't run on monitors and just on terminal… New ideas or things to add? Tell me!
PLEASE:
Please don't slate it, only shared it with you because it may be useful and I wanted a version out for you lovely people to help test for me! Any bugs PM me!
How To Use:
Simply add the API to your program, or load it as an external one, and just call the inputKeyboard() function with a variable in front to grab the text returned!
Download:
pastebin get 16JAjfUf keyboard
Example:
NOTE:
Under the keyboard.inputKeyboard() function you will need to redraw the screen, so personally I would use the window API to save the information, run this then redraw the window.
Anyway:
Features:
The images are attached at the bottom!
