Abiword as a office mobile word processor for the Pinephone?
#5
Many interesting questions i have to check, Zebulon, thanks for the answer.

I try to make a sort of a Qtek 9000 out of my Pinephone with my Pinephone keyboard and Abiword, Gnumeric and eventually LibreOffice. I need to find an answer if I sould make a fresh install of postmarked OS on my Pinephone to use Abiword. 

Abiword has only 7 shortcuts:

I did not test it yet how good Abiword can be controlled with the keyboard. I have currently installed postmarket OS with Gnome destop on my Pinephone and I use the Pinephone keyboard.

I would like to use my device for Abiword, Gnumeric and eventually LibreOffice. I aleady tested the special keys below the number keys of the PP keyboard. They do not work and the function keys below the  number keys either.

Abiword is eventually a good starting point before customizing LibreOffice. And the Pinephone keyboard a good starting point before testing Rii i4 or i8 keyboards.

To get the maximum out of it for word processing a keyboard which has as many keys as possible which work would be highly desirable.

Postmarket OS SXMO which Pinehone developer Martin Braam uses in several of his YouTube demos supports all the keys of the Pinephone keyboard:

Before installing  postmarket OS SXMO on the external SD card and boot it from there I try to find an answer to Zebulon Waltons questions.

Thanks for you help Zebulon.
