adusk

Forked from NOTtheMessiah/scosk

Dependencies

• GNU / Linux
• Python 3
• PySDL2, SDL2_ttf, SDL2_gfx
• Standalone Steam Controller Driver

About

adusk aims to provide a standalone virtual keyboard for use with the Steam Controller; going above and beyond Valve's existing implementation of a virtual keyboard, while also unencumbered by the need to have Steam perpetually running in the background.

This program is still highly experimental, and does not have much practical use at the moment, as it is not integrated with sc-desktop.py or similar standalone mouse drivers for the Steam Controller.

Installation

python3 setup.py install

Usage

adusk

Configuration

By default, adusk will look for data/configuration files in the following locations (in order of descending priority):

Environment-specified paths:

• $ADUSK_DATA/

User paths:

• ~/.config/adusk/
• ~/.adusk/

System paths:

• sys.prefix/adusk (where sys.prefix is usually /usr/local/)

In the case of user paths, adusk will only search for configuration files within. Otherwise, adusk will look in the folder for both configuration (within the cfg/ subfolder), and for other data used by the program.

What it does

• It's a virtual keyboard!

What it doesn't (yet!) do

• Integration with sc-desktop.py
• Running as a daemon
• Conjuring via the Steam Controller itself
• Moving/scaling the keyboard with the controller
• Alternate symbols
• General user-friendliness
