Hi Steve and everyone, I am not a computer expert, nor a programmer, nor a computer repair technician. Charles Bulter and I have asked a question (a keyboard) before. If the SW symbol font is ready, will we be able to use a keyboard for SW sign languages (not for spoken languages)? Val, I know that you will answer this: “Should we learn a SW-Box Dos if we can use a keyboard for SW sign languages?” I am sorry to say that I am not really interested in learning SW-Box Dos. However, I intend to learn how to use a keyboard in SignPuddle in the future. Otherwise, I will lose motivation if I can only use a mouse for SW sign language (SignPuddle). For many years now, Steve has been a hard worker improving for us many computer features and functions, which is great and praiseworthy. Thanks a lot, Steve!
