write

This is version 0 of write. write is a little program to input characters based on quikwriting. It's not the same thing, they have it so you don't have to lift the pen in between characters, but mine is based on clicking and dragging.

This is for two reasons.

  1. Mine was much easier to write
  2. I didn't want to completely take their idea

To start, build it and from the write directory, run src/write. You need to click in the center of the box to choose a window to receive the keystrokes.

There are some non-optimal things here. One is that the program uses about 6 megs of ram when running. I need to figure out which libs can be chopped and how do it. Please send any advice.

Currently only lower-case characters, backspace, return, and space are supported. The implementation of the lookup method probably wasn't too bright, so I need to rethink that at some point.
