VitaKeyboard is a plugin and application for PS Vita that lets you use it as a USB Keyboard. The host will think your vita is an actual keyboard.

Installation

Copy hidkeyboard.skprx to ur0:tai/.

Add the following lines to taiHEN's config (ur0:tai/config.txt)

*KERNEL
ur0:tai/hidkeyboard.skprx

Install vitakeyboard.vpk.

Reboot the vita to load the kernel plugin.

Before typing, make sure the host computer is using the same keyboard layout as the one selected in VitaKeyboard.

Layout savedata is stored in ux0:data/vitakeyboard_savefile.bin.

Changelog

v1.1

Added support for other keyboard layouts.
- Added pt (BR) layout.
- Added es (ES) layout.
- Added de (DE) layout.
Added LiveArea design.
Added better way to close the application (START while IME is closed).

v0.1-alpha

First Release.

Credits

hnaves for making hidmouse and xerpi for porting it to vita, of which this was initially a fork from.
xerpi for making vitastick, from which a lot of this code is based on (looking back, it would probably be easier to fork from it lol).
SonicMastr for help with libime and loading modules.
LiveArea design is based on the one made for vitastick by @nkrapivin.
