Im working on a very simple GNOME extension with a click event that disables the keyboard (if you need to clean it or clean your desk).
Is there a way to disable all the keyboard output in JavaScript? I've tried to do
_onClicked(actor, event) {
if ((event.type() !== Clutter.EventType.TOUCH_BEGIN && event.type() !== Clutter.EventType.BUTTON_PRESS)) {
// Some other non-clicky event happened; bail
return Clutter.EVENT_PROPAGATE;
}
if (this._icon.icon_name === TOGGLE_ON_ICON) {
this._icon.icon_name = TOGGLE_OFF_ICON;
Main.notify('Keyboard has been turned off!');
Main.onkeydown = function (e)
{
return false;
}
} else {
this._icon.icon_name = TOGGLE_ON_ICON;
Main.notify('Keyboard has been turned on!');
Main.onkeydown = function (e)
{
return false;
}
}
I also thought doing it through shell on JavaScript, but for that I would need the ID for xinput to work.
Any tips would be helpful.
PS: I'm a JS beginner so any tips you can give me are appreciated :D.
