[Break Your UT] Bigger and better Lomiri and Keyboard???

@Keneda It's probably simple to do but I just don't think it'll add much personally. Especially since it's advisable to do it via SSH so that it's much simpler to revert back in case it breaks something

For people like me, it would add possibility to use your tools.
I really fear more to break something with command line and scripting, than use an unconfined app

kugiigi

@Keneda Well in this case it won't make much difference. The app would just use the same commands and they're simple enough.

jerk install <package>
jerk reset lomiri
jerk reset all

Those are the common commands I use.

But I do understand what you mean. In some ways, I'm intentionally avoiding to target those people considering the nature of this tool. It's generally a safe tool and so far I haven't really broke any of my device but you never know

@kugiigi I watched your Lomiri Plus preview and I very liked all the stuff. Especially the push to rotate feature. I looked at the repo and see, that the rotate thingy is not for xenial, just for focal. Is is not possible due to some limitations? Or some other reason, why not on xenial? Thx.

kugiigi

@jezek Which one do you mean? The button that appears when you rotate the device and let's you rotate the shell to that orientation? That's in both xenial and focal. There are only a few that's focal-only.

Yes, I mean that. How is it called? How do you install it? Thanks.

Btw. this one would be a nice addition to the OS, I think.

@jezek I don't know. Manual rotation button?
But yeah, it's something that could possibly be implemented officially and be accepted.

Yeah, that's the name. I mean, how do I install it? What is the package name for the jerk installer?

jerk install <package>

kugiigi

@jezek It's included in the LomiriPlus package. You'll have to create the package yourself. There's instructions in the repo. It's actually pretty simple.

I was thinking a custom keyboard with macros could build on Malakiboard. I've cloned jerk-click, jerk-installer and jerk-packages in the hope of PRing some day.

For now, thank you for making it easy for everyone to install these 'hacks' which I believe should and could become a part of UT!
