Toki Pona D-Pad Keyboard v1

Vowels and j-/w- are typed with (o), consonants and CV(n)-syllables are typed with (x) and (o)+(x)

The PAUSE menu has some extra features:

• a toggle between manual and automatic copying of the text to the clipboard
• a toggle between a night mode and an (eye-piercing) day mode, some people like light modes afterall...

When you stop typing, a little Machi will appear in the bottom left, depending on the time of day she'll have different animations.

copying to clipboard might not work on mobile devices because of a ctrl+c check implemented within PICO-8, taking a screenshot might work at least, meanwhile I'll try to find a workaround for mobile

• L: e
• U: i
• R: o
• D: u

By holding (o) and tapping up or down and then tapping the DPAD again you can type the syllables j- and w-.

• U: i/j

• L: je
• U: ja
• R: jo
• D: ju

...and W

• D: u/w

• L: we
• U: wi
• R: wo
• D: wa

Tapping (x) adds a syllable-final n.

(o)Down,Down gives you wa and (o)Up,Up gives you ja, as opposed to wu and ji.
If you tap up or down but keep the DPAD pressed before releasing the (o) button, it will type a singular w/j, this also works with the other consonants, select the consonant but release the button(s) before the DPAD for a singular consonant without the -a syllable attached.

holding (x) and tapping the DPAD:

• L: pa
• U: ta
• R: ka
• D: sa

keep holding (x) to change the vowel:

• L: -e
• U: -i
• R: -o
• D: -u

Tapping (o) (whilst keeping (x) pressed) adds a syllable final -n.

This button macro gives access to the leftover consonants as well as another way to write a final -n.
hold the 2 buttons and tap the DPAD:

• L: ma
• U: na
• R: la
• D: n (ignores any further inputs, will always input a singular n)

keep holding (x) and (o) to change the vowel:

• L: -e
• U: -i
• R: -o
• D: -u

(Re)tapping (o) (whilst keeping (x) pressed) adds a syllable final -n.

• L: delete character/syllable
• U: ^
• R: .
• D: ,

combos:

"^c" -> C (works for any letter)
".." -> :
":." -> …
",." -> ;
"^," -> '
"'," -> "
",," -> -
".-" -> !
"!," -> ?
"- " -> __
"-." -> +
"^^" -> [
"[." -> ]
",^" -> 0

Numbers are a special case: when typing, a previous digit can
be increased by +1 by typing ^ and by +4 by typing : right after it.
