That is intentional.

151

I know its in the post but its not in the app

152

Yes this is a nice extra that will not effect the user experience since when you reach the bottom you would need to leave go off the down key then push it again

153

Great I love it

154

I will likely move instructions out of the app and point the user to GitHub. There’s too many instructions to try to show in the app.

155

Yes, maybe I can add a setting to control behavior at the border: either wrap around the screen, or scroll slowly in that direction.

156

If you move it to github most users that are getting apps on these phones will not be able to access it because they do not have a browser on their phone and they do not either want an in app browser on their phone

157

I’ll keep both then, but will have more detailed instructions in GitHub intended for viewing on a different device.

Whats wrong with giving it an iab that can only access the GitHub page with instructions?

159

Because from github you could press on links and also install apps that you download from there

160

Ok he never said he’s going to put in a in app browser why you making that assumption?

161

Can you make that if i hold it would scroll more pages until i let go and then it will stop scrolling and an option to choose how fast you want it to scroll

162

yes he did

163

Who said it will be an in app browser?!?! It can just be a link

164

I never said in app browser. A user will have to visit GitHub anyway to get the official release.

@sams-club suggested scrolling when the cursor hits the bottom of the page if that’s what you are talking about.

166

What does that mean?

app-debug.apk (10.0 MB)
Made some changes:

  • Should be allowed to map any key, unless it is used by the other mode. However, right now if you try to use a button that is reserved, you will be overriding the reserved functionality. There will be a warning to tell you what is being overridden. @sams-club please tell me what keycode the owl key shows up as.
  • Made cursor smaller (more customizations will come later) and hopefully fixed out of control scrolling in webview.

If that change is added, when you move the cursor to the edge of the screen, start scrolling in that direction and keep scrolling until the cursor is moved away from the edge.

Can you add the feature that when you hold the scroll button it would repetitively scroll this way you wont have to press button alot of times if you want to scroll to the bottom of a long page?
