Swipe Keyboard

A library that provides the ability to input text by swiping PalmOS Graffiti-style characters onto the screen.

To get a legend of available characters, just tap the screen.

Usage

In your app's metadata, add:

  "dependencies": {"textinput":"type"},

From inside your app, call:

Bangle.loadWidgets();
Bangle.drawWidgets();
require("textinput").input({text:"Foo"}).then(result => {
  console.log("Text input", E.toJS(result));
});

The first argument to input is an object containing the following:

• text - initial text to edit

(in the future, the ability to restrict usage of newline/etc may be added)

Make your own

You can create your own keyboard input apps. Just ensure that they have "type":"textinput", in their metadata and provide a library called textinput that exports an input method.
