Fast Analog Circular Text Entry Method

Durante has been working on a text input method for lua. Using the analog joystick to select your character for input.

You select a pair of characters by pointing the joystick in its general direction, then write the left char with cross and the one on the right with circle. Square = backspace and triangle ends input. L and R switch left or right to another circle (repeating).

So, at most you’ll need 2 keypresses, but in the usual case (lower case letters) you’ll need only one. I plan to have a moveable caret soon. (left/right = 1 char left/right, up/down = beginning/end)
