2 Switch Computer Control - Open Source Licensed GPL V2.0
Zip file: uploaded 1/03/2013 (script and required files)
Description: Designed for users with a physical disability having very limited mobility (Able to use 2 buttons/switches plugged into a modified mouse - e.g. with 1 switch next to each knee) but with mainstream level intelligence. Using this app a user can browse the internet at their leisure independently. There are other options out there but none that I thought were useful for my particular situation - plus I wanted to make it 
example single switch
Features:
Cycling mouse direction selected by switch
On screen predictive text keyboard
Instructions:
To exit the app at any time press the AlwaysOnTop exit button OR press Alt & Q.
Mouse Control
Press the RButton when you desire the mouse to move in the shown direction.
- If the arrows have disappeared (after 10s) tap the RButton to bring them back
Onscreen Predictive Keyboard
After EVERY LButton click the On-Screen keyboard button will be displayed. If the user clicks again
before it has disappeared (1.5s later) then the On-Screen keyboard will appear.
Use the RButton to modify highlighted selection and LButton to choose.
After every key 3 predicted common words will be displayed to quicken text entry.
Choosing 'OK' will send the input text and then enter.
Red arrows cycling through directions and keyboard button (orange border displayed)
On-Screen Predictive Keyboard
Future Changes:
Toggle button to activate app on/off
Update common word list to include user's commonly entered words
Include a floating menu bar that changes 'on the fly' to assist window scrolling/youtube controls etc
Change keyboard activation method to allow double clicking
Bugs:
Rare issue stopping keyboard from appearing
Please give it a go if only to appreciate the things we take for granted.
Any feedback/requests or comments on actual usage are greatly appreciated.
