I’ve read over my post about the gamepad keyboard (“the program i want”) and I realized a couple clarifications I wanted to make. (This is more for the person who took up the challenge of making this for me, but I may as well let everyone else know, too.)

The basic premise has already been stated: A software keyboard which is controlled by the arrow keys. However, the manner of getting to this keyboard was something I left untouched, despite being a distinct facet of my thought process. I’d like to have a text field selected and press a key combination (which I can perform with a single button press thanks to the other program I use) to bring up the keyboard. Then I type by arrowing to each letter and pressing some kind of confirm key to press it. The text can appear directly in the text field I have selected, or, failing that, may appear on the keyboard’s window itself and then copied to the clipboard when I finish. Then I press a key combination to hide the window and move on.

I should probably make a graphic mockup of this at some point. However, that implies I have either the skills or the software to accomplish this. Hmm.
