twiddled is a userspace driver for the Twiddler 1 chord keyboard. It uses the uinput interface.

Installation:

run:
make KSRC= all

install twiddled into somewhere sensible (/usr/sbin?).

install twiddler1.tmap as /etc/twiddled/default.tmap

Requirements:
uinput
perl 5.6 (or newer)
kernel headers

Usage:

./twiddled [-m < mapfile >] [-i < input device >] [-e < uinput device >] &

< mapfile > is the tmap file to load and use for interpretting keystrokes.

< input device > is the serial port to read events from.

< uinput device > is the uinput device to send events to.

Limitations:
No mouse support yet.
The keymap interface looks NOTHING like the original Handykey one.
No key repeat support.
Not properly tested yet either.
Does not currently daemonise.
