[Quicktype-users] 2.1 b2 new features

[Rick R. <ric...@an...>]

Hi all,

I'm new to the list, so bear with me if this stuff has already been
discussed (no archives of this list at sourceforge).

Looking through the latest README, I see that there is now a horizontal
split code (<shortcut>-) which I assume works in an analogous way to the
vertical split that was in 2.0.  However, as I was just poking through the
code a bit I can see that there is also a new diagonal split.  Is anyone
trying out the new <shortcut>/ capability that seems to indicate that a key
can be split diagonally?  How does this work?  The key definition screen
still seems to present the 13x5 keyboard, so it isn't obvious to me if this
really provides a way to split a key.  (I'm assuming this capability is
being placed in there to allow definitions like the keys on FitalyStamp).

Also, has anyone set the key width and height to anything larger?  What
happens if I define a key definition that causes some of the keys to be
outside of the 160 pixel width or the 55 pixel height?  For instance, could
I set the height to 12 pixels and still get all 5 rows (essentially
expanding the keyboard to a total height of 60 pixels)?  Or would the top or
bottom row get cut off once the 55 pixel point is hit?  A similar question
could be asked about the width.

Thanks,
Rick Reynolds
