FOSK4PSP
...the Fast On-Screen Keyboard-based text editor 4 your PSP

How does it work?
The on-screen QWERTY keyboard is divided into 7 blocks, each one with
a square shape, containing 3x3=9 on-screen buttons (therefore icon.png .)
The first keystroke selects such a block (the example below shows pressing
the 'up' arrow),

while the second one takes one of the nine chars from the block.
- To move up/down/left/right inside the block .. the arrow keys are used
- To move (up-left) .. square, (down-left) .. cross, (down-right)..circele,
(up-right) .. triangle keys used.
- To choose the mid char from the block .. the 'Select' keys is used.

The keyboard has 3 MODES (1~Normal, 2~CapsLock, 3~CursorMode),
each one with its own special functions.
To switch between the 3 modes press "Select", to Exit F.O.S.K. anytime
press "Start".

Mode 1: NORMAL MODE

- to type text at the cursor position proceed as described above
(Section 'How does it work?')

Installation:
Copy this '0.2x-F.O.S.K' dir into your 'psp/game/luaplayer/Applications/' directory.
If you still do not have luaplayer installed, go to 'luaplayer.org' and grab it.

Known bugs:
ttf really slow :(

Future plans:
- to slow down the processor if not really used
- to add nice fonts (see the editor in PSPWin, or Luaplayer0.15)
- Insert
- Copy/Cut/Paste, Del in Blocks (Del requires 2 buttonpresses per char!! now.)
- memorize last dir we used, ie. ini file .)
- memorize the file name, ask for changes at save
- Ask at starting to make a new file or to read one.
- check file overwriting if SaveAs
- check for "save changes" before Exit (Maybe move Exit as part of FOSK..)

What can you do?
- implement this concept into any app you want (do not forget the credits then .)
- send feature requests for the text editor for PSP
- send related links (ready-made Lua functions) which could help the project
- organize typing competitions ...
- start a dictionary, calendar, messaging, spreadsheet project..
