# INTEGRATION NOTES: # Buffyboard integrates as a virtual device in /dev/input # which reads touch or pointer events from other input devices # and generates events based on where those map to the keys it renders to the framebuffer. # # Buffyboard generates these events whether or not its onscreen keyboard is actually visible. # Hence special care is needed if running anything which claims ownership of the display (such as a desktop environment), # to avoid unwanted input events being triggered during normal desktop operation. # # Desktop users are recommended to either: # 1. Stop buffyboard once your DE is started. # e.g. `services.buffyboard.unitConfig.Conflicts = [ "my-de.service" ];` # 2. Configure your DE to ignore input events from buffyboard (product-id=25209; vendor-id=26214; name=rd) # e.g. `echo 'input "26214:25209:rd" events disabled' > ~/.config/sway/config` { config, lib, pkgs, utils, ... }: let cfg = config.services.buffyboard; ini = pkgs.formats.ini { }; in { meta.maintainers = with lib.maintainers; [ colinsane ]; options = { services.buffyboard = with lib; { enable = mkEnableOption "buffyboard framebuffer keyboard (on-screen keyboard)"; package = mkPackageOption pkgs "buffybox" { }; extraFlags = mkOption { type = types.listOf types.str; default = [ ]; description = '' Extra CLI arguments to pass to buffyboard.
