|||
==Special Keys== |
|||
The XO keyboard has a number of special keys and keycap symbols. The functions of these are discussed in more detail in the [[OLPC_Human_Interface_Guidelines/The_Sugar_Interface/Input_Systems|Human Interface Guidelines]]. |
|||
* the '''Search''' key has a magnifying glass ([[Image:Key search.jpg|30px]]) and activates global search; |
|||
* the '''Bulletin Board''' key has two rectangles in a circle ([[Image:Key_bboard.jpg|30px]]) and toggles display of the shared visual clipboard; |
|||
* the '''Frame''' key has an open rectangle on it ([[Image:Key_frame.jpg|30px]]) and toggles the menu frame; |
|||
* the '''Language''' key found on some keyboards has two types of letters ([[Image:Key_arabic.jpg|25px]] [[Image:Key_thai.jpg|25px]]) and switches between different alphabets; |
|||
* the '''Grab''' keys have hands on them ([[Image:Key_grableft.png|30px]] [[Image:Key_grabright.png|30px]]) and turn the trackpad into a scrolling device; |
|||
* the '''[[OLPC Human Interface Guidelines/The Laptop Experience/View Source|View Source]]''' key has a gear on it ([[Image:Key_viewsource.png|40px]]), is accessed as Fn-Space, and displays application source. |
|||
If you are trying to locate a key that seems to be "missing" the following list may help you: |
|||
* the '''Esc''' key has a white × inside a black circle ([[Image:Esc.png]]); |
|||
* the '''F1''' key is the same as the [http://www.laptop.org/laptop/start/neighborhoodview.shtml Neighborhood View] key ([[Image:Mesh key f1 small.png]]); |
|||
* the '''F2''' key is the same as the [http://www.laptop.org/laptop/start/groupview.shtml Group View] key ([[Image:Friends key f2 small.png]]); |
|||
* the '''F3''' key is the same as the Home View key ([[Image:Home key f3 small.png]]); |
|||
* the '''F4''' key is the same as the [http://www.laptop.org/laptop/start/activityview.shtml Activity View] key ([[Image:Activity key f4 small.png]]); |
|||
* the '''Backspace''' key is the same as Erase. |
|||
* the '''Delete''' key is the same as Fn-Erase. |
|||
==Caps Lock== |
|||
There is no Caps Lock key. However, in a future software release, there will be a way to create Caps Lock behavior in the [[Write]] activity. |
|||
==Other controls== |
|||
There are other controls on the XO that are not on the keyboard: the direction pad, game controls, screen rotation, and power button. |
|||
They are described in [http://www.laptop.org/8.2.0/manual/XO_Ports.html the manual]. |
|||
== Languages other than English == |
|||
{{Keyboard layouts}} |
|||
To see what languages are ''currently'' supported, go to [[Manufacturing Data#Keyboards]]. |
|||
You can also click on the link to each language to find out how to configure the keyboard layout. For activity localization, see [[Sugar_Control_Panel#Languages|Sugar Control Panel]]. '''However, please be advised that some configurations may cause the machine to behave abnormally ([http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5559 #5559]).''' |
|||
If the characters do not display correctly, you might need to install language-specific font(s). Drop the ttf file into /usr/share/fonts and rerun fc-cache. |
|||
===Typing Non-English characters=== |
|||
Many common characters can be typed directly as well by using the AltGr key in combination with other keys. For example, on the US keyboard: |
|||
:AltGr+c to type cedilla (ç); |
|||
:AltGr+n to type n with a tilde (ñ); |
|||
:a followed by AltGr+4 to type a with an accent acute (á); |
|||
:e followed by AltGr+3 to type e with an accent grave (è). |
|||
Many (but not all) activities also let you enter Unicode directly: Hold down the Ctrl+Shift keys while you type u followed by the 4-digit [http://www.unicode.org/charts/ code point] for the character you want, e.g., Ctrl+Shift+u03A9 to type the Greek capital letter Omega (Ω). (You need to hold the Ctrl and Shift keys while you type all five characters.) |
