TypeR 1.2 is now in beta!

TypeR 1.1 brought several new awesome features to TypeR, including the toolbar with clear, copy, paste, undo, and redo. If that was nice, this is nicer. TypeR 1.2 adds pause keyboard, settings, and insert. The toolbar also got a complete restyle using jQueryUI, making it rounder, bluer, and iconier.

The settings dialog lets you choose how to view your text - maybe you like it bigger, or centered. It also makes it easier to type LTR, important for TypeR 2.0. It also lets you choose whether or not to show that overlarge version of the key upon hovering. Default is off for touchscreens.
Another new thing is fancy quotes. Plain quotes look like this: "He said, 'hi.'" See how straight they are? Fancy quotes look like this: “He said, ‘hi.’”. Most word processors, such as OpenOffice Writer (and MS Word) have this feature.

The insert menu is really nice. I had to add another 2 libraries just for this! You can add the date, parts of the date, the time, parts of the time, AM/PM, the timezone (made possible by jsTimezoneDetect), your country (made possible by geoPlugin), and a line of credit to TypeINT: Typed using TypeR 1.2, made by TypeINT.com.

I found that pressing ctrl+alt led to problems, being a reserved key combination in many cases. Once i pressed ctrl+alt+l to get chirik-yud, and i ended up locking my computer. As a result, i changed it to alt. Cursor movement was also updated: you can now click somewhere in the output box, and it will move the cursor there.

Remember TypeR mini, that's now featured on the TypeINT homepage? It'll be more integrated with TypeR now. More specifically, you'll be able to expand from using mini to using the full version.

There are also a couple bugfixes. You can read the entire release notes here.

Remember, please try it out and give feedback. Your feedback is important!

Hopefully that's all of the bugs

I think i fixed all of the bugs in TypeR 1.1. There are a couple things that i don't think i need to bother with right now. One is a minor error in the console, the other is more of a feature (though missing features can be bugs).

Next week i'll put it into release-candidate. Woohoo!

Remember, please report bugs still found!!

That was stupid

I said in I'll call it an RC that the "3" and "4" keys weren't working. I figured out why.
Because, stupidly enough, i labeled the "3" key as "4", so it didn't know what to make of it.
I fixed it now.

For the people who want it (and to make this post a bit longer :P), here's the new and old code:
new:

<div class="key" id="key-3" onclick="addKey('v','3')">
    <div class="key-1 key-5" id="key-31">3</div>
    <div class="key-2" id="key-32">#</div>
    <div class="key-3" id="key-33">3</div>
    <div class="key-4" id="key-34">3</div>
</div>
<div class="key" id="key-4" onclick="addKey('v','4')">
    <div class="key-1 key-5" id="key-41">4</div>
    <div class="key-2" id="key-42">$</div>
    <div class="key-3" id="key-43">4</div>
    <div class="key-4" id="key-44">4</div>
</div>

old:

<div class="key" id="key-4" onclick="addKey('v','3')">
 <div class="key-1 key-5" id="key-31">3</div>
 <div class="key-2" id="key-32">#</div>
 <div class="key-3" id="key-33">3</div>
 <div class="key-4" id="key-34">3</div>
</div>
<div class="key" id="key-4" onclick="addKey('v','4')">
 <div class="key-1 key-5" id="key-41">4</div>
 <div class="key-2" id="key-42">$</div>
 <div class="key-3" id="key-43">4</div>
 <div class="key-4" id="key-44">4</div>
</div> 

I'll call it an RC

TypeR 1.0 is being updated from "beta" to "RC". What does this mean? It means you can now sit back and do your typing via remote control. Just kidding, but wouldn't that be cool?
RC is release candidate. It means that if no serious bugs are found, it will be the released version.
Now, in truth, i do have a short list of bugs, but i plan to patch them before releasing.
The upgrade from beta to RC is small; some keyboard keys are better supported than before. Right now, all except the arrow keys (and others that move the cursor), and the 3 and 4 (for reasons i have yet to discover) work on both a standard en-US and he-IL keyboard.

The RC is at http://www.typeint.com/typer/rc.php

Please report any bugs to webmaster@typeint.com. Thanks!

TypeR is still buggy, but usable

While working on the next version of TypeR, I fixed some bugs that were in the old version. One was so easy to fix, but such a stopper. That was that text couldn't be copied by using Ctrl+C, the shortcut. (I never got any testing on Macs, so I don't know if Cmd+C worked or not.) Instead, it would add the character shown, usually ב. I just added my 1-line (67 character, which is really very little) bug fix.
Click "TypeR" from any page on the site to use it.
Now, happy typing!
