PSP Homebrew developer Deerwings has posted his first app down at our forums: the PSP Browser JavaScript Keyboard. The app was written with Danzeff's Keyboard in mind, only Deerwing's app was designed specifically to be able to input text in a web browser.

Currently you can't access the keyboard while browsing through a page because the author wasn't able to replace the original OSK with the app yet. Deerwings describes his app this way:

This is a Javascript PSP keyboard that works for your web browser. [...] This javascript keyboard is basically an html page that you load with your browser, and then set as your homepage or load as a favorite as you like, in order to open up webpages more quickly and less frustratingly.

Here's the developer's notes:

• Built-In Google Search button - Allows you to enter plain text into the field and automatically submit to Google. Get your results even faster!
• Built-In Google Proxy - Allows you to use Google's Small Device proxy. Breaks up pages to fit on cellphones and other small devices. Getting out of memory errors? This may help!
• Full QWERTY Keyboard - Includes commonly used symbols as well as letters and numbers, and a keypad for direct IP address entry.
• To install this, all you have to do is unzip it to your root MSO:/ , (Or wherever you like) and then open your browser and navigate to file:/kb.html (Or wherever you put it).

Users are encouraged to read the help file included in the bundle. If you have any questions or wish to discuss the app, follow the link to our forums below.
