FN+SYM key for special Characters-Need Help

[LeonMx]

Hi all.
In my other devices with hardware Keyboard i.e. Xperia, HTC Tilt I, and Eten M700, I used the keys FN+SYM to enter special characters (with the aim of the sym.0409.txt file). For example: I pressed the "a" key then pressed FN+SYM key, then de "a" has been changed to "á" and so on. In the TP2 displays the symbols software keyboard.
Any body knows the reg. key for use the FN+SYM key like described above???


Thanks in advance.

I assume you have done this.

How to use Provision:

1)Settings > Connections > Mr.X CDMA Provisiong.

2) Click the button beside you carrier.

3) Click commit in the bottom right.

4) Reboot when asked.


I was looking to see if that rom requires you to use a .cab for Sprint keyboard. Maybe you already know if it does or not.

You could try the Sprint fix here. Although it may not apply to that rom. Not sure. Since it seems Sprint and Telus should be the same and the rom you are using was created by a Telus user.


Keyboard Symbols Don't Work / Home Key opens Start Menu!! / Button Mappings!

• Verizon - Install THIS CAB and Restart the phone! (Thanks Fronc for the ROM dump info)
• Sprint/Telus - Install THIS CAB, and Restart your phone! (Thanks to banzaiwolfe for the ROM dump info)

Perhaps I'm not up on what the keyboard fixes people are mentioning are supposed to do, but I don't think the OP has an actual problem with his keyboard. The Fn+SYM key combination sounds like it's doing what it's intended to do i.e. pop up the SYM window. It looks like he's try to get it to do more than it was supposed to e.g. press a, followed by Fn+SYM, and have it automatically change the "a" to "á" instead.

Sorry OP, I've not come across that feature before. With so many different variations of the a, e, i, o, etc keys with accents, caret, hats, etc. how would the system decide which one to default to anyway when you pressed Fn+SYM after entering that specifc key?

Yes...exactly.....
I had these function in my Xperia, at&t Tilt I.......
The Fn+SYM key combination works in conjunction with the file stored in the \windows\sym.0409.txt

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

//
// This file contains the virtual keys mapping table for the
// Raphael device World-Wide English QWERTY layout.

// The mapping table is defined as follows
//
// VK_TPOUND = 0x78
// VK_TSTAR = 0x77
// VK_TAB = 0x09
//
// We do not support escape value yet. So the key/char values should be
// entered explicitly or by encoding start with 0x
//
// Format:
// {VK VK1 VK2 CH1 CH2}
// VK -> value from keyboard driver
// VK1 -> key mapped, interpret by IME
// VK2 -> key to interpret when for press and hold
// CH1 -> symbols produced by Fn + key
// CH2 -> symbols in 123 mode
// CH4 -> Key Index


// Top Row

// {1 1 1 ! ! 0xff} // original layout

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