This is a quick exploration into how the new Device:hasFewKeys() method could work to make things more usable on very limited devices.
In the reader, the right is repurposed to open the menu. Left in turn closes it.
The same principle is applied to ButtonDialog. This means you can select anything in principle, but once you go right you can't go back.

Simplify (and avoid edge cases) in other code by having
ReadHistory manage the "lastfile" setting on add, remove,
rename...
Fixed a few other cases of things not updated.
bidi.lua:
- Revert "Alias everything to Bidi.nowrap() when in LTR UI,
as using LTR isolates seems uneeded when already LTR" (part
of a628714f) which was a wrong assumption: we need proper
wrappers for all things paths. Enhance some of these wrappers.
- Fix GetText RTL wrapping which was losing empty lines and
trailing \n.
- Wrap all paths, directories, filenames in the code with
these wrappers.
- Wrap all book metadata (title, authors...) with BD.auto(),
as it helps fixing some edge cases (like open/close quotation
marks which are not considered as bracket types by FriBiDi).
(Needed some minor logic changes in CoverBrowser.)
- Tweak hyphenation menu text
- Update forgotten SortWidget for UI mirroring
- KoptConfig: update "justification" index for RTL re-ordering,
following the recent addition of the page_gap_height option.
Small tweaks all around to handle UI mirroring:
- swap existing symbols like arrows, or use alternative ones
- rotate some images, like chevrons and dogear icons
- flip some left and right swipe handling
- flip some geometry arithmetic like tap on left or right
side of page or dict window
- use new ProgressWidget:getPercentageFromPosition() instead
of geometry arithmetic
- BD.wrap() some concatenated string bits, like in reader
and menu footers
- flip inverse_reading_order when UI is mirrored
More specific tweaks:
- ReaderGesture: reset some specific gestures when UI direction
has changed (tap on top/bottom left/right corners, for
bookmarks and FileManager "Plus menu").
- ReaderRolling: show markers on the correct side of page,
in single or dual page mode.
- KoptOptions: swap left and right icons in Alignment toggle
- CheckMark: proper rendering in all 4 mirroring/rtl combinations.
- VirtualKeyboard: forbid any mirroring
- Move util.getMenuText into Menu.lua
With some particular document switching workflows, the
screensaver menu could lose its last item, and shrink
to having zero item, and eventually cause a crash.
It was missing some ordering hints to have it always
precede taps to change page.
(Somehow noticed only when we reached > 32 gestures
registered, which may have introduced some shuffling,
while previously the addition order was somehow
preserved...)
Require is kept in memory, including the modifications made to it by MenuSorter. This can cause trouble when switching between the FileManager and Reader.
Fixes#4703.
* Reader menu: adds "Open previous document"
Allows for quick switching between 2 documents, and keep
symmetry with FileManager menu "Open last document".
* Use "Last:" and "Previous:" when Show filename
Alternate rendering of list items as block elements (instead of
inline/final).
Check the built DOM is still coherent with styles on stylesheet
change, and propose to reload the document if not. Also
invalidate cache on close in that case so a new DOM is built
at next opening.
ReaderStyleTweak: fix tweak css duplication; when globally
enabled, when disabling and re-enabling locally, the css would
be added twice to the final CSS.
Also adds !important to "sub_sup_smaller" tweak, and increase
its priority so it can override "font_size_all_inherit".
Adds CreDocument:getCacheFilePath() for futur features.
* [device][kindle4] add fake event to kindle4
* modify focusmanager to allow for more complex layout
The focusmanager now naviguate the layout by avoiding nil value
instead of relying on table lenght. It should be completely backward
compatible
* add Dpad naviguation to the touchmenu
* fix crash because virtualkeyboard on non touch device
the kindle4NT has no keyboard nor touch, the fix open the virtual
keyboard so koreader dont crash but it's not useable
* Enable device with keys to use the touchmenu
* Don't get stuck in reader progress statistics plugin
* [underlinecontainer] Fix and remove unused function
References #1898.
When no manually added specific 'poweroff' or 'reboot' screensaver
settings, use the suspend/sleep settings set via menu with an added
overlay message in top right corner.
Generalized some settings: "White background behind message and images"
and "Stretch covers and images to fit screen", and move "Exclude this
book's cover from screensaver" up a level (and remove this menu item
added by ReaderMenu when closing document).
Don't use memory cache with rendered screensaver images.
ImageWidget: fix wrong behaviour (stretch) when 'file', 'width',
'height' and 'scale_factor' provided: now, keep aspect ratio.
ImageWidget: increase file image mem cache (mostly used for icons)
from 2 to 5MB to be ready for devices with very high DPI.
* Prevent open screensaver more than one in the same time
* Add option to enable/disable background in message screensaver
* fallback to random images if this book cover is excluded feature + fix Disabled (leave screen/page as it is)
* Autostretch disable by default, more fallback options, leave screen as it is
* fixes#2898 (prevents accidentally triggering reboot or poweroff)
Add ConfirmBox before reboot/power off
* increases clarity by preventing second page
* add "sleep" menu entry
* Add exit menu hold callback
* [fix] stop propagation of tap events
when triggering reader menu
And also get rid of unnecessary screen refreshes on Kindle Voyage.
The "progress" window for dict lookup is also eliminated as most of the time dict lookup is an instant process, and the "progress" window is preserved for wikipedia lookup as it may take longer time to show the result window.
* [up] add an option to disable dictionary fuzzy search
* [fix] tidy up require
* [fix] fix read settings
This affects #2335, at least for documents covered by `validDjvuFile()` (see 76cef07c07/frontend/document/djvudocument.lua (L15-L23)). However, that's only with regard to `touch invalid.djvu` and should not affect whatever happened in the OP.
as the tap gesture on the upper part (mostly) of the screen is
a conventional design to show menus in almost all ereaders as well as
some mobile phone apps. While users not farmilar with the Android world
have no experience with swipe down to show menus that's why we need a
quick start guide for this feature. And experienced Koreader users
probably will turn pages by mistake each time they want to popup the menus.
The solution here is adding back the tap gestures as they were and keep
the new swipe to show menu feature as a supplementary function when
link's tap area blocks menu's tap area.
* translation text fix
* quickstart(fix): go back to home dir after document close
* quickstart(fix): purge old quick start files
* spec: fix quickstart tests
* Swipe for menu and quickstart guide
Because swiping for the menu is a big change from what we're used to, this commit includes a new quickstart guide.
Fixes#2608.
* add some dev docs
* add FileConverter spec
* add QuickStart spec
* add Version module
* add Version spec
MenuSorter: forgot to add plugin style change
MenuSorter: worked out the final quirks
* Menu always compressed into tables without missing indexes for ipairs compatibility
* Orphans attached
* Separators no longer count as items
Also fix touch zone dependency graph generation code.
ReaderHighlight has now been migrated to use touch zone
Inputcontainer's touch event handling logic changed to only stop
propagation when handler returns `true`. Previously, it stops
propagation when a handler is found. This is needed to support
both readerhighlight_tap and tap_forward touch zones.
