Nanopad - Cursor movement and special characters
Nanopad uses the following rules for cursor movement:
Up, left, right and down are simple taps in segments 2, 4, 6 and 8 respectively. These form the traditional diamond shape for cursor movement.
Space is a simple tap in the center region ( region 5 ). Enter (or Return) is a backslash drawn from the center region to the lower left.
Shift and Shift Lock would be used to generate upper case letters. Letters are always drawn in their lower case shapes.
Control, Alt, and Function are the letters c, t and f drawn backwards from their normal direction, and would be used to modify the following characters entered.
The other characters are chosen to be logical and easy to remember.
The repeat function could be easily implemented by drawing the character, then holding the last postion for a predermined time to indicate repetition.
