OneKey 36.11 by Carolyn Scheppner - CATS - Freely Redistributable
=================================================================
OneKey is a 1.3/2.0 compatible input handler for people who can only
press (or cause to be pressed) one keyboard key at a time.
OneKey gathers individually pressed qualifier keys ( SHIFT, ALT, CONTROL,
L-AMIGA, and R-AMIGA ), and applies them to the next non-qualifier key
that is pressed.
For example, when OneKey is running, SHIFT followed by "s" will produce
"S", L-AMIGA followed by "b" will cancel a requester, and CONTROL
followed by "c" will be CTRL-C.
I apologize that I still don't have deadkeys working with OneKey
(for example, ALT "f" "a" to get an "á"), but one workaround is
to setmap to the usa0 keymap (thanks to Andy Finkel for that hint).
With the usa0 keymap, all accented characters are available via simple
ALT + one key combinations. With OneKey running, these could be typed
as ALT followed by one key. Those with non-usa keyboards who require
accented characters could edit the usa0 keymap with a keymap editor
to swap the necessary keys to match their keycaps.
2.0 users should be able to place OneKey in their WbStartup drawer.
1.3 and 2.0 users can put "run >NIL: onekey" in their startup sequence.
Or you can double-click it.
OneKey toggles on and off. If it is already running, running or
clicking it again will turn it off.
I have included the source code to OneKey. Perhaps someone with
more time than me can get the deadkeys working :-)
I hope that OneKey will make it possible for more people to take
advantage of the the Amiga's unique capabilities.
