Free keyboard kid software for linux

vkeyd is a Linux daemon, forked from ikeyd, used to change volumes from keyboard hotkeys outside of X, or if the keyboard has been captured, as happens with SDL applications.

Optimus OLED Keyboard Linux Driver project is intended to provide a generic linux driver for OLED-based hardware made by Art. Lebedev Studio.
The current goal is to support the Optimus Mini Three keyboard.
Main features:
- Uses libusb to communicate with device (no specific kernel driver needed)
- As the kernel-provided module for pl2303 didnt work in our case, we recoded the driver with libusb
- Uses libpng to read PNG images, and display them
- Detects when a button is pressed
- Implements OLED_PROTOCOL_SET_IMAGE, OLED_PROTOCOL_POWER_ON, OLED_PROTOCOL_POWER_OFF, OLED_PROTOCOL_SHOW_OLED, OLED_PROTOCOL_GET_IDCODE, OLED_PROTOCOL_SET_IDCODE, OLED_PROTOCOL_SET_BRIGHTNESS.
- Support for more than one OLED Mini Three connected to the same computer
- All USB code is in a static library
Enhancements:
- One of the most annoying bugs (auto-switch-off of the key display after five seconds) has been fixed.
- Functions similar to the ones provided by the original Win32 library for image color settings are also available, allowing you to set color temperature and gamma.
- Theres better support for input, using threads as libusb only provides a blocking way to read data (or some bytes are missed).

XKeyCaps project is a graphical front-end to xmodmap.

It displays a keyboard and lets you remap keys using dialog boxes, rather than having to learn the arcane syntax used by the xmodmap command.

It opens a window that looks like a keyboard; moving the mouse over a key shows what KeySyms and Modifier bits that key generates.

Clicking on a key simulates KeyPress/KeyRelease events on the window of your choice. It is possible to change the KeySyms and Modifiers generated by a key through a mouse-based interface.

This program can also write an input file for xmodmap to recreate your changes in future sessions.

Installing:

# xmkmf ; make ; make install ; make install.man

KeyTouch is a program which allows you to easily configure the extra function keys of your keyboard. This means that you can define, for every individual function key, what to do if it is pressed.

When you buy a new keyboard a CD-ROM will probably included. This CD-ROM contains software to configure the extra function keys (the image above shows an example of extra function keys) of your keyboard with. The problem however is that most of the times the software is not available for Linux.

KeyTouch is the solution to this problem. It allows you to easily configure the extra funtion keys of your keyboard.

keyTouch makes it possible to easily configure the extra function keys of a keyboard (like multimedia keys). keyTouch it allows the user to define which program will be executed when a key is pressed.

Little Wizard is a development environment for children. Little Wizard can be programmed without using keyboard, just by using drag and drop.
Even children in primary school can understand how it works. Little Wizard project uses GTK+ and libXML.
Enhancements:

JRainWords project is a utility which aids in teaching children how to use a computer keyboard.

JRainWords is a small educational tool I have developed for my nephews.

It works with Linux, Windows and with every other platform supported by the SUN Java 2 Virtual Machine 1.4.0. The words in the default list are English, but can be easily replaced (a file with Italian words is included).

Gorf project is a friendly front-end interface for XMAME.

Gorf is a friendly front-end interface for XMAME that supports joystick (and keyboard) control.

Users can adjust colors, transparency, truetype fonts, and keyboard settings from a pop-up menu.

The original classics like Pacman and Frogger will run great on this hardware. So dust off that shabby old mobo and build yourself an arcade!
