Dvorak/vi keyboard layout

Hello,

I made a dvorak/vi keyboard layout a while ago. I don't have time to perfect it at the moment, but the base is there and it functions just fine.
What is the "vi" part about?
I like using vi direction keys, it's what I'm used to, so I implemented the 'hjkl' arrows as well.

I tried to upload the file but the forum won't let me. I dropped it here and it will be there for 30 days: https://upload.disroot.org/r/HAVQk3e...z4AX/1fWoGbBQ=

I also changed something in a key layout selection menu lua file somewhere, but I don't remember by heart which.

I would go the whole git pull request etc route, but I've never needed to do something like that and I don't have the time to figure out these things at the moment.
Still, for those who have similar taste in typing, here it is. Feel free to improve upon the idea and/or officially putting it into KOReader.

Upon popular request, I can also put it on a permanent filebin somewhere.

Happy notetaking,
notStanislaw

Back button should go back where you exactly were

If you go into a menu from a second page, and you push the "up" button, you will and up on first page, not the second where you were. Very uncomfortable.

Example: Go to Status bar/Settings. For me, the Prefix is on the second page. I tap it. When I finish setting it, I tap "Up", to go back one level. And I will end up on the first page of the Status bar/Settings. Would be much better and more natural to arrive exactly to the same place where Prefix is.

Major regression speed since koreader-kobo-v2020.08.1

Hello,
I have a major speed issue with koreader. My device is Kobo libra.
Here is the description :
If changing pages with full test, speed is ok, less than a second.
But if the next page include an image, not even a big photo, juste a small web image, the speed slow down. About 5-6 seconds.

I remembered that koreader was not so slow in the past. As I don't read comics, I didn't really notice it directly. But now there it became really unbearable to me, even for the few images that appear. So I decided to find out since when it appeared:

v2020.01 : OK
v2020.06 : OK
v2020.08 : OK
v2020.08.1 : not OK
v2021.01.1 : not OK
v2020.09 : not OK
And all latest releases : not OK (I download the latest nightly release about every month)

The bug seems to be appeared since v2020.08.1.

There have been a lot of new features since this release. Do you think it will be difficult to find the specific feature that caused this issue and fix it, (or disable it) ?
I hope we will not be forced to choose beetween speed and features.
For now, i decided to downgrade to v2020.08.
I am ready for testing on my device.
Thanks for your help and thanks for reading.

Kobo Libra: Screenshot only works in book?

I wanted to take a screenshot of the Calendar View of the Reading Stats, but no matter how many times I swiped diagonally, nothing happened. I tried in a book, and straight away, I got screenshots, so went back to Calendar View and tried again. Once again, no screenshot. Is there a way to take screenshots of screens other than the book being read?

Contionous reading - fine adjust line moving

Hello

Just found this great reader (Thank @JSWolf) and have noob-questions:

is there a setting to fine adjust the movement of lines in continous reading (View mode)?
At the moment a little swipe moves many too much lines, I want to move line wise. That possible?

Bonus question: can I set up that the Android BACK button exits KOReader without question?

Thank, frank

Dictionary postformating - help needed

Using KoReader on a Pocketbook, I tried to force it to show some formatting.
Allready done:

set sametypesequence=h in wiki.ifo file

with:

Code:
/mnt/ext1/applications/koreader # ./sdcv -02 data/dict Zwickel
i get:

Code:
g_mkdir failed: No such file or directory
Found 1 item, similar to Zwickel.
-->De-De (Wiktionary)
-->Zwickel

<i>Substantiv, m</i><i>, Zwi·ckel, Pl. Zwi·ckel</i><br><b>Bedeutungen:</b><br>1. Architektur: eine dreiseitig begrenzte, ebene oder sphärische Fläche<br>2. Schneiderei: ein keilförmiger Einsatz an Kleidungsstücken<br>3. regional: ein sonderbarer oder seltsamer Mensch<br>4. regional: spezieller Zapfhahn zur Verprobung des Jungbieres<br><b>Synonyme:</b><br>2. Gehre<br>3. Sonderling<br>
Since this is shown only as Plaintext I thought, following the discussion on GIHUB:
https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/3573
I could force KoReader to change some of the Dictrionary html code on the fly by putting a wiki.lua file in the same folder where the dictionary is located and the wiki.ifo file can be found with the following code:

Code:
return function(html)
    html = html:gsub('<b>', '<span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.1em">')
    html = html:gsub('</b>', '</span>')   
    html = html:gsub('<i>', '<span style="font-style: italic; font-size: 0.9em ">') 
    html = html:gsub('</i>', '</span>')
    html = html:gsub('<br/>', '&nbsp;<div></div>')
    return html
end
but that didn't help either.
What went wrong, where is my error? Please help.

I need a beginner's guide to setup Joplin in koreader

Hi everyone!

I have been using koreader for some years now and found it very useful for my academic work. I used to export all my highlights to evernote but since September 2020 this plugin is broken. I know there is a Joplin plugin right now but found the help section confusing and I could not configure it properly.

I have been using Joplin on android and windows and even I could setup a Joplin server in my raspberry pi and connected from my cell phone and laptop.

I would like to ask you for a beginner's guide to configure my kobo Libra H2O with koreader...

Thanks in advance!

I successfully performed jailbreak on my Kindle Oasis 3 today, however, KOReader does not launch. It shows "Starting KOReader..." but it does not start.

Here is the crash.log:

[edit: forgot to add... I am using this version KOReader: koreader-kindle-v2021.02.zip]

Because the jailbreak method is new, is KOReader not yet supported on the Kindle Oasis 3?

Thank you.

Dutch wikipedia

Not sure how to ask this, but here it goes....

I'm using KoReader on a remarkable 2, and want to use wikipedia to search. When I'm using an english interface everything is working ok (Searching Wikipedia EN), but in the ductch interface it is searching nl_NL, which doesn't work. It should search NL. Does this make sence?

I tried changing language.lua (changing nl_NL to nl), but then the interface stays in english.... searching in dutch does work tough.

Is there a way to do this? :help:

Is there any specific layout for a PC (this seems the same GUI made for portable devices)?

Swapping hardware buttons - Pocketbook TL3

Hi,
is there some possibility to swap function of hardware buttons in Koreader in Pocketbook TL3? I have problem with buttons forward and backward - when i push the button, the reader turns 2 or 3 pages forward (or backward), its really ennoying. I want the function Forward set for button Menu, which works correctly. TL3 does have this function, but it works only in his system. In menu of Koreader i found only swap between buttons forward and backward, but not the menu button. I know I should complain about the device, but I only want it as a temporary solution..

Canceling-out font size definitions in many epubs

April 1, 2021, 3:15 am
$

I noticed that there are many epubs which show a pattern similar to this:

1. They specify a font size in their <html> element:
Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style="font-size:1.136rem;">
2. but then go and exactly cancel it out by using an inverse value like "font-size: 88%" either in their body definition or in virtually every single css-class.

I mean... why?
And it's clear from the values that they are supposed to cancel out. But why do this, instead of leaving these things out and only specify sizes for classes that actually deviate from the default font size?

Also, when I say cancel out, they do so in Calibre. KOreader seems to not react to the font-size definition in the html element which leads to wildly varying main font sizes for different books which use this cancel-out strategy...

Change Linux appimage to store history data in the same way as the android app

Hi!
I've installed Koreader on my android tablet and on my linux pc with the appimage.
On both devices there is a copy of a Calibre library (about 80GBs).
I noted that the android app stores its configuration data into /sdcard/koreader/
while the linux one stores in ~/.config/koreader.
The two folders contains the same directories, but android stores history data (small .lua files for each book) in the /sdcard/koreader/history folder while linux one adds a subfolder named as the file and terminating with .sdr inside the Calibre library book subfolder.
Is it possible to config the linux app to store those files in the same way as the app does (inside ~/.config/koreader/history), instead?

[Question: Kobo Clara HD] How to access borrowed books (overdrive) via Koreader?

Hello,
I use overdrive to borrow books from my library directly to my Kobo. Is there a way to access this through Koreader?

As a corollary, is there any way to access my collections from within Koreader? I have spent a large amount of time arranging tags in calibre and now it seems like I might have to go back to good old folder based library (as opposed to tags/collections based).

Is there any trick to access these collections easily from within Koreader? And to be a little greedy, make this the primary mode of navigation in Koreader?

Sorry if my question comes off as stupid. Brand new user.
