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 and Setup

• Add hidkeyboard.skprx 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.

Other considerations

• if there is a keyboard layout that you'd like to be added, submit an issue or follow the instructions at layout_generation/README.md and build the project yourself (pull requests are welcome).
• layout savedata is stored in ux0:data/vitakeyboard_savefile.bin

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
