Flashcards: keycodes in landscape mode

[haraldalbrecht]

Hello Mike,

PalmOS (un)fortunatly uses different keycodes for the keys in the 5way navigator, dependent on screen orientation.

Since I'm accustomed to using the "down" hardkey for correct (xia4) and "up" for incorrect I always have to setup the same screen orientation in flashcard mode that l once had active when l configured the keys.

Maybe this could be fixed in future versions in such a way that 5way keycodes are recognized properly in different screen orientations?

Thanks, Harald

Good idea - in 2.0 we're planning to replace the incomprehensible numerical codes with helpful English explanations of which key you've selected, and once we've gone to the trouble of figuring out which keys correspond up/down/etc on every Palm it would be pretty straightforward to rotate them when the orientation changes. Thanks for the suggestion.l
