I'm publishing my wishes here, to find also other useres who might support my proposals:
1. Lua API to have read access to the timer values
i.e. system.getTimer(number)
Parameter: number= 1..10 to address the timer
Return value: timer value in seconds or nil if timer doesn't exist
2. Enable Trim Keys as YX input keys in a Lua form
i.e. to have a simpel direct input option to do something in a XY direction in a Lua app form.
The trim key function should be switchable between normal mode and Lua form:
- in normal operation mode the trim keys should have the standard functionality, as it is today
- if the Lua form is opened and the trim key assignment is requested, the trim keys should be available in the keyForm(key) as additional keys and the normal trim function is disabled as long as the Lua form is open.
I believe this enables much more simple user interfaces if any XY input is required.
i.e: this could be if you have a gps map and you would like to adjust it to your environment.
or you have a diagram and want to move a cursor or select something
or you want to to specify a xy coordinate (to specify a gps point on a map and get a hint when you passed that point)
How to steer the curor or something else is up to the Lua app and not part of the API.
The API just provide additional key definitions like: KEY_XLeft, KEY_XRight, KEY_YUp, KEY_YDown
and to prevent the normal behaviour i.e the form.preventDefault () or a new form.assignTrimkey() is needed.
Please leave a note, if you like my proposals to get a higher motivation on jeti to implement the proposals.
Kind regards
Andre
