Notice I added buttons to move the cursor to the left or right.
Does anyone know how I could create buttons to move cursor up or down one line?
It appears to be really difficult because of issues with focus, line position, line line lengths
and more. --gnuzoo
Wouldn't it be easier for the user to just scroll and click with the mouse where they want the cursor to go, than to click with the mouse on a button? --Petko
I think maybe for a lot of people yes, but some like to stay in the context and not keep switching from keyboard to mouse.
Anyways, I did figure out the javascript for this and have added the up/down arrow buttons. I updated the recipe too.
I am starting to think maybe I could create an on screen keyboard.

On Ubuntu, I use onboard. You can even create custom layouts, say with only arrow keys. I suspect many people who need assistive tech probably have something installed, that works for all apps and websites not just browser and PmWiki. --Petko
I like talk pages.
