Peter Thorstenson(known for tejpWriter and thumbboardDA) has provided us with yet another open-source tool. As usual, it is centered around text entry…and replaces Palm’s classic keyboard dialog with a significantly improved one offering a bigger clipboard, capitalization support and even macro support:
Peter himself describes the application as following:
