The attached nTxt fully works on 3.1 and 3.6.

It's a bit easier to understand (but still not very clear) in the documentation at http://hackspire.unsads.com/wiki/index.php/Libndls#Keyboard than in os.h. _SYSCALL4(...) is a macro to define a syscall with four arguments. To make a program that opens when you press ctrl+return you have to use a hook like nClock does, yes.

Oh OK...I was also thinking you could use it for reading text files like an eBook reader. The file would be in plain text. But since this has trouble with special characters it would not work. The Lua based eBook reader that someone made has the same issue. If I have a pretty big file I would have to go through it and get rid of the special characters which would be very time consuming.
It wouldn't display the special characters correctly, but it's not necessary to remove them to be able to open the file. If you have a text file that contains UTF-8 try opening the file up using Notepad++. Notepad++ gives the option to convert to ANSI. See if that works.
That's the best option for now. Forgive me for asking this but what do you guys use a text editor for on the calculator? I am just curious.
When I started coding nTxt I wanted to be able to write programs on my calculator even when I don't have a computer with me, but without an on-calc assembler or compiler it's not very useful. And for Lua you can use the Notes app just as well... So I end up not using it often

lkj: the integration of the syscalls is on the todo list, sorry for the delay.
No problem, the release of Ndless3.6 was much more important.

Yeah, that's an encoding problem. nTxt uses ASCII, but the clipboard uses UTF-8, so most special characters won't work. Making nTxt use UTF-8 is very much work, as it would mean rewriting most of the code. I'm not sure if or when I'll work on that, as I personally don't really need it and I also want to concentrate more on other projects after about 220 hours of work on nTxt.
What are you using nTxt for when this is a problem?
On an unrelated note, nTxt should work with Ndless3.6 (untested), but it will certainly crash when you cut/copy/paste.

Sorry for the late reply, I couldn't test it on my own calc sooner. For me it works. What calculator model do you have? And have you checked if you really have the newest version of nTxt on your calc? And unlike in the OS you have to press Ctrl and C or V at the same time.

Again an update, this time with the most requested feature in the poll: undo and redo. I was quite surprised that it took only about the same amount of development time as some "small" updates  Ctrl+Z = undo Ctrl+Y = redo I hope (and believe) that the new features are stable. As always, if you find a bug, please report it here. Also if you have ideas how to improve it, tell me.

It works because the keypad mapping in memory is different on touchpad and clickpad, and your boot2 uses the clickpad mapping even though you have a touchpad, so most keys are wrong.

Try pressing T instead of 2.

Christmas update! Very hard (I think): synchonize the clipboard with the OS one's.
I looked for the functions in the OS and added this feature to nTxt Apart from that, I only made a small improvement to typing. The last change I had made to the input system had an annoying side-effect for selecting text which should be removed now.

And if you want "the" Note 3, well you still have the SnapDragon/Exynos choice. You have two versions of the Note 3, one having a 4-core and 4G, the second one having a 8-core and no 4G. But the 8-core has a lowered frequence and the processor is quite new, so you don't gain much. I have the 4G version (and GTA San Andreas still runs ! ).
I'll probably also take the 4G version. Other than that, it depends on what you want to do with your phone. If you want to play games (like GTA San Andreas ), take the latest one but if you mostly want a phone for "phone usage" (but with a big touchscreen), take the Note 1 and save money
Playing games isn't that important for me, but the browser should run fast. And I will use it as a substitute for a computer for the next 3 months. Now about rooting. It is true that there is a new "protection" (KNOX), but you have a rooting method (Root De la Vega) that doesn't increase the KNOX counter, so you don't have to worry about that. Also, the only thing that counter does is saying "you messed up with software", but if it's the hardware that fails, the warranty still has value (at least in France). Check on the internet which versions that rooting method supports before buying 
And I never used any warranty on anything so I just didn't care and rooted my phone as soon as I got it, incrementing that flag once and for all
The other thing that rooting without caring kills are the OTA updates. Since I did that, they are no longer proposed to me (but I don't care, I can find them on the internet). I don't know if the Root De la Vega solves that, you should see on the internet too Ok, sounds good. If you're lucky enough, you can find a Note for $0 with a 2- or 3-year contract at your favorite provider. Otherwise, yes it can be pretty expensive.
Unfortunately there aren't any "cheap" (<$80/month...) $0-contracts anymore over here. At least it's only a bit more than half as expensive as my old phone. Just keep in mind that on such large phone, if you decide to run complex games or something, they can eat a lot of batteries and you might also want to keep syncing turned off when not using it, same for wi-fi, 3G, etc. Juju's mom sometimes played games on her phone and the battery was depleted in less than an hour or so.
I hope the battery of the Note 3 is a bit better than one hour.

Can someone please clarify?
I shortcut all pins many times when trying out things and nothing bad happened.

The region lock sounds kinda weird, but after a little search I see they want to restrict people who buys their phones in remote locations like China, which is kinda understandable. You shouldn't care about it if you buy your Note if you buy it in stores, in the same country you are. And anyway, pretty sure someone will find a way to desactivate the lock with a little rooting.
It seems the lock was accidentally also a problem for some people who travelled, but yeah, I don't really care about it. Do you want physical keys?
No, I don't think small physical keys would be better for me than a touchscreen keyboard.

My old phone (iphone 3gs) has many problems so I'm looking for a new phone. It mustn't be from Apple and should have a big screen so that it's comfortable to code on it. The battery life should also be not too bad. I was thinking about the Note 2 because of its big screen and good reviews, and now about its successor. The mainstream public seems to like the Note 3 very much, but I also heard two bad things about it. First, the region lock. I don't care about it myself, but it's a bit of a unfriendly move like Apple would do. And second, I read that you could break it by rooting because of some hardware protection, which would be a reason for me not to buy it.
So yeah, would you recommend buying it?

Thanks. I hope it's quick, too No, computers aren't allowed and last week I wouldn't have had any time anyway. Maybe the rules get less strict after some weeks, we'll see.
