- Amiga keyboards are great. But have you ever taken your Amiga somewhere, and
- forgotten your keyboard? Fret no more, OSK is here!
-
- OSK gives you a software keyboard. A pictorial representation of the Amiga
- 3000's keyboard (alright, alright.. its the same as the 500's and 2000's...)
- is shown on the screen, and each of the keys is a gadget. OSK grabs the window
- that was active before it was run, and sends all key presses to that window.
- To press a key, click on its gadget. The modifiers, CONTROL, CAPS LOCK,
- SHIFT, ALT and AMIGA are available - click once to turn on, and again to turn
- off.
-
- To send key strokes to a different window, click on the "Window" gadget in
- the top right corner. OSK then waits for you to click the left mouse button
- again. Simply click on the window you wish to send key strokes to.
- It is probably not a good idea to try to send key strokes to a window that
- has been closed.
-
- You can iconify OSK by clicking on the ICON gadget in the titlebar. To
- de-iconify OSK, double click on the icon.
- OSK can be started in iconified mode with the -i flag, from the CLI.
-
- ie. OSK -i
-
- OSK can also be kicked into being a 1000's keyboard by the gadget next to
- the ICON gadget. Clicking this again will turn it back into a 3000's keyboard.
- You can specify the keyboard type on startup with the -1000 or -3000 flag.
-
- ie. OSK [-i] [-500|-2000|-3000]
-
- To trigger a reset from OSK, click on the CT, A and A keys, then on ESC.
