NAME

morse-x - morse "practicing" tool for X

SYNTAX

morse-x [options]

DESCRIPTION

morse-x offers you a window to put dits and daws into - by pressing any key (except q = quit). On the console it prints each character you morsed in. (So start it in an x-terminal-emulator.) On the first execution you have to calibrate the length of dits and daws, so just follow the instructions on the console.

OPTIONS

-c: Calibrate again, e.g. if the calibration of the first execution wasn't optimal.
-d display: set display (overrides DISPLAY)
-g XGeometryString: set geometry of morse window (-g without option prints a help)
-h: prints usage information
-r Name Class: set WM_CLASS
-s: verbose, show dits and daws (if calibration is bad and you don't know why)

BUGS

Morse-x saves the autorepeat state of the keyboard at startup, then autorepeat is turned off because morse-x only works with autorepeat disabled. On exit the saved state will be activated again. This doesn't happen when crashed or killed, etc. To enable autorepeat manually, do:
xset r on.
