Introduction

Main Features

• By default you can use this numpad in predictive mode: by now the dictionary language is italian.

• Setting up a word is easy and evident cause the usage it is not different from mobile phone's one. You can switch words with the same code by the corresponding button. Numpad will append letters to the current typed word until it finds an already known word (i.e. an existing numeric sequence in the dictionary)

• It is possible to write a word that is not in the dictionary simply toggling the button "Manual"(the button with the little pencil): predictive mode will be deactivated and the new word will be added to the dictionary after you sent it to the focused window.

• Note that words containing numbers, symbols or punctuation won't be saved

• Button "Space" send a blank space in the focused window if you didn't type any word, otherwise it sends the word you typed plus a blank space.
• Button "Return" send a carriage return in the focused window if you didn't type any word, otherwise it sends the word you typed withput blank space.

Extra Features

• xdotool buttons make system calls and their behaviour is not linked to Numpad functions
• xdotool button "Alt" remains enabled only for 5 seconds and then disabled
• Caps Lock button switches to Upper case the current typed word in predictive mode (lower case if it is already upper). If manual mode is enabled it switches to upper case the letter you are typing.
