The Tapboard is an alternate layout keyboard plugin for the Qtopia
environment.  It has a key layout optimized for input with a stylus.
It's based on the layout IBM developed for its ATOMIK software for the
PalmOS, but enhanced to meet the needs of Linux & the Zaurus.
Unlike the stock soft keyboard, control keys work correctly; for
example, Ctrl-C will copy text in the text editor and stop a process
in the terminal (this will let you kill a ping without taking the
Zaurus out of its cradle).

Installation:
1. Use the standard Add/Remove Software to install the .ipk file.

2. You should now find "Tapboard" added to your list of
   input methods (the triangle at the bottom left of the screen).

Known Limitations:
1. The tapboard will only install into RAM, not compact flash or SD
   card.  It requires approximately 48K of storage.
2. Sometimes you tap a key and nothing comes out until you tap the
   next key.  This only happens intermittently, and I would like to
   know if you see it.

Building:
1. You will need to have a Qtopia SDK installed & functional.
   You will need to have checked out the Qtopia source from cvs.
2. Extract the files from the tapboard-source.tar into the
   directory where your qpe directory from the cvs checkout is.
3. You should now have a "tapboard" directory at the same level
   as your pickboard directory, i.e.
   qpe/inputmethods/tapboard.
4. Run make, hope you don't get errors.
5. Copy the resulting file libqtapboard.so.1.0.0 to the same
   directory as the other input plugins, which is normally
   /opt/Qtopia/plugins/inputmethods/
6. The first time you build you will need to make three symbolic
   links, all in that directory, to libqtapboard.so.1.0.0.
   They must be named libqtapboard.so, libqtapboard.so.1,
   and libqtapboard.so.1.0
7. Restart Qtopia. You should now find "Tapboard" added to your list of
   input methods (the triangle at the bottom left of the screen).
