FN+SYM key for special Characters-Need Help

[santod]

Yeah, I get that. I was trying to be clear that what was wanted and that his keyboard was functioning as it should, before trying to change things about.

There was a way to change the intended symbols for certain key presses on the TP1, but I don't know the method required to map it that way on the TP2.

Here is an example of the mappings for the Touch Pro 1. There was an editor made to change these entries. I do not have the info needed for the TP2.


****EXAMPLE**** TP1 Key mapping

// entered explicitly or by encoding start with 0x
//
// Format:
// {VK VK1 VK2 CH1 CH2}
// VK -> value from keyboard driver

// VK2 -> key to interpret when for press and hold

You are just wanting to map the accent symbol? Or map all symbols?

Oh....Ok...it's a start....

Just throwing this out there as an alternate solution...but you could use the Rhodium Keyboard Controller. Although I don't think you can use its emulate key action, you could use the "send text to active window". Using the "a" key as an example...

From the Keyboard Controller app...
Menu softkey
Add Key
Do NOT check the "Combine with FN key" box
Then press the "a" key on the physical keyboard
Key mode: Single/double click, long press
Event: Click
Action: Default key action [you have to do this in order to get the "a" key to send "a" when pressed normally
Then click on the Event drop-down and select either Double Click or Long Press [your preference although I'd probably go with Long Press]
Action: Send text to active window
Text to send: Press Fn+SYM to pull up the SYM window and find the á key
Method: Key emulation

This way you could assign one specific special character to the a, e, i, and so on, so that when you press and hold that key for a second or two [if you chose the long press event], or if you double tapped it [if you chose the double click event instead] the special a, e, or i would appear instead.

I'd have recommended you use the Fn+a key, as an example, but you'll run into problems with that. If the default for your keyboard is to insert another symbol with the Fn combination for that key (Fn+o on my keyboard inserts a hyphen for example), you'd loose that default symbol if you remap it. Therefore I'd suggest you either use the key with a double click or long press instead of the regular single click option within the Rhodium Keyboard Controller.

I usually use only accent symbols...accent vocals and ñ (n with tilde) but it's very useful another symbols...
The file sym.0409.txt contains in simple text:

aáÃ*âäåąÃ£ăæ
AÃ�ÀÂÄÅĄÃƒĂÆ

so if you pres the FN+SYM keys, you will get the next "symbol" which follow the first symbol you had been entered. if you press again FN+SYM key combination gets the next symbol....and so on....in example.....
First: you enter "a" then you press FN+SYM so the character changes to "á" but if you press FN+SYM aGAIN you get "Ã*" and so on...
You can edit the sym.0409.txt file to re-order the sequence of the symbols appears first.

PS. Sorry for my "bad" English.

Ok, I understand.

So this is similar to what you are after.

You can add a new keyboard layout file to your device windows folder, and change a specific "KeyboardlayoutFiles" registry value to point to that new file.


This small software package adds support for Scandinavian Ä and Ö characters to your HTC Touch Pro 2 device .
Char Ä will appear by pressing FN + A, and char Ö will appear by pressing FN + O buttons after installation.
Dash character - will be moved to button P, replacing the rarely used underscore _.
Download the installation cab here
Copy the file first to your device, then search the downloaded file with your devices' "File Explorer" program, and click the cab file to start the installation process. After installation completed, you must also "soft-reset" your device before the changes take effect. (Hold down the power button couple of seconds to soft-reset your device)
Cab contents

This software package does following changes to your device:.

• Adds a new keyboard layout file "eT9.Rhodium.fi.kmap.txt" to your Windows Mobile windows-directory
• Changes the registry key "HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime\KeyboardLayouFile s" to point to the new file above

Yes, thanks.

I saw this before....but if I use that cab I will lost some FN+(some key) function like FN+I(=) or FN+O(-) or FN+U(+).....

since the Xperia was made from HTC too, Im sure that it's will be possible to assign the same function to FN+SYM keys.
May be we need to insert a Registry key. I don't have with me the Xperia X1, but i will have in 2 weeks (i'm not at home)
Do you know why or for what, TP2 have the same file in the "windows" folder (sym.0409.txt)??????

[santod]

The solution may be here, but the translation from Chinese to English is not so good.

Your English is just fine.

Hong Kong here on the 9th release Pro2, Fortunately, I have reservations on the 3rd.

10号一早就去取货，回来后发现原来Touch Pro的自定义文件有点不合用。

No. 10 went to pick up early in the morning, came back found that the Touch Pro a little bit of self-definition file not suitable.

一番刻苦研究之后，终于写出了Pro2比较完美的自定义文件了！

After some painstaking research, and finally wrote the perfect custom Pro2 more files!

由于我手头的是香港行货繁体中文版，所以，用其他版本的朋友可能需要做小小修改。

As I have are licensed in Hong Kong Traditional Chinese version, so other versions of the friends may need to make small changes.

介绍一下港行Pro2繁体键盘（在没有加载梅花的情况下）：

Tell us about the Hong Kong Bank Pro2 Traditional keyboard (in the case of the plum tree did not load):

keycode.ini适用于港行繁体键盘，即有专门的切换中英输入的“中/英â€�按钮，键盘的字母有仓颉输入法（类似五笔）的部首。

keycode.ini applicable to Hong Kong OK Traditional keyboard, that is a special switch in the British imported "Chinese / English" button, the keyboard letters are Chieh Chinese character input method (similar to the five-stroke) is radical.

E和R分别是欧元和英镑的符号。

E and R are the euro and the pound sign.

按FN + "中/英"可以打开信息中心，“SYMâ€�(即输入符号这个键)是在“,"（逗号）这个键的FN位置， “SMS"这个键是在“.â€�（句号，点）这个键的FN位置。

Press FN + "Chinese / English" can open the information center, "SYM" (that is, enter the symbol of this key) is "," (comma) key FN in this location, "SMS" the key is in the "." (Full stop, points) of the FN in this key position.

如果你的Pro2符合上述描述，那么恭喜，应该是港行。

If your Pro2 meet the above description, then congratulations, it should be the Hong Kong trip.

好了，介绍一下这个ini：

Well, tell us about this ini:

输入符号时（即绿色，平时需要按FN之后才出现），不需要按FN(我研究了很久，发现目前梅花不支持Pro 2的FN键)。

Enter symbol (ie, green, usually occurs only after the need to press FN), do not need to press FN (I studied for a long time and found that currently do not support the Pro2's Plum FN key).

解决方法是HOLD那个键大概半秒（比如要输入U上面的加号+，平时是按FN + U，这个ini就是按住U半秒就可以了）。

The solution is to HOLD that button is probably half a second (for example, to enter the U above the plus sign +, usually is based on FN + U, the ini is holding down the U can be a half a second).

除了数字键、字母键、“中/英â€�键，“,â€�逗号键，“.â€�句号键的FN的功能被替换（即在梅花的状态下FN被废掉 武功），其他的基本保持正常。

In addition to the number keys, letter keys, "Chinese / English" key, "," comma key, "." Period of the FN key functions to be replaced (that is, a state of FN in the plum blossom has been destroyed and martial arts), the other has remained normal .

比如要快速打开通讯管理员，请按FN + 右方向键

To quickly open the communications example, an administrator, please press FN + Right arrow keys

另外，跟Pro一样，大写锁定还是无法使用。

In addition, with the Pro, like caps lock is still not available.

除了上面的情况之外，其他几乎完美～～～～～～～～～！

In addition to the above conditions, the other is almost a perfect ~~~~~~~~~!

I just download the 1.4 ver. but puts my screen in landscape (with the keyboard hided) and the hardware buttons don't work...so I uninstalled....
let me try again....
