I'm an amatuer web designer, and so therefor I write HTML and other languages on my MDA. for anyone who has looked at HTML before, you will know that the language uses < and > a fair amount. guess which characters the MDA keyboard doesn't have...
what I'm looking for is an app that will program fn+g and fn+h (or any other keys, doesn't matter) to < and >. it might have been done before, might not be possible... but if anyone has a bit o' spare time and feels like having a go, I'd be very grateful
thanks in advance
Hi there,
The solution for your problem is quite easy: look for the file "sym", in windows folder, opened it with a text editor, and you'll see a list of characters. The first in each line is the key name, and the default character for that key.
After that one, you can enter any character. When you're typing, you can scroll for the characters of each line using "sym" key.
One detail: as you want to add symbols that don't exist in the keyboard, you need to copy the "sym" file to the PC, edit it there, and then copy it back to the PPC.
thanks! i'd forgotten all about the Sym key...
I edited sym.txt with Total Commander's text editor, and it didn't work... when I was copying back from sd card to Windows/ I noticed my file was 248bytes, and the original was 418bytes or something like that...
I did, however, use the PDA in question to do this... I think i'll now follow your advice and edit on my laptop

is there any tweak that would allow to configure Universal keyboard, to enter national characters from WWE ROM?
I mean pressing key sequences to enter special characters, like:
',' + 'c' to issue a 'ç'
'´' + 'a' to issue a ´á'
...
The regional settings, doesn't hep on these.
Maybe a registry keyboard layout setting for Portuguese!?
Hi,
using the SYM key, near the SPACES key, will solve your problem? By pressing this key when you are wrinting some national character, w'll find in this process a nice way to solve your problem.

It works. Thanks.
Took a few seconds to figure out how it works, after your hint.
Great!

You can change the order of the special characters in order to suit more to your needs. There is a file ‘sym.txt’ at the windows folder. You have to edit this one. The best way to do is to copy the file to your desktop computer, do the necessary changes and copy back to your XDA.
Hi Forum,
I installed the japanese IME as it was discribed at another forum (http://www.firstloox.org/forums/showthread.php?s=c973622a044a5a4a87c1f6099f097d74&t=4510), and it seems to work almost perfect on my qtek 9100, new German ROM installed. Only problem: the program changes the keyboard settings, means that I can't use the symbol- key (function+space) any more, so ä, ü, ö, ', ... are gone. I already tried AEKMap, when downloading the German keyboard file, it doesn't show up within the program. I inserted a new string called "Locale" to the registry-settings at HKCU/ControlPanel/Keybd etc., as it was posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44489
-nothing helped. Do I miss something?? I will go to Japan next Saturday and desperately neeeeeed a Japanese IME- but also my German keyboard layout!
Greetings from Berlin,
Andreas
Hi again, some more information: It seems that the keyboard is working, the only thing which doesn't work is the "symbol"-key (the "blue dot + space"-combination). Does anybody know if there's something hidden in the registry how I can re-map it and get it back to work??
Thanks,
Andreas
There's a text file you'd need. You can easily create this yourself, though it might help to just find it somewhere.

Hi ZeBoxx,
doesn't work for me, unfortunately. As I said, the layout of the keyboard is ok, only thing is the missing function of the "symbol"-key. I played around with different keyboard settings, they all work ok BUT this symbol think doesn't. Any other ideas??
Andreas
Did you specifically read this last part?
Symbols List - Changing the symbols when using the Sym hardware key along with a regular key (select devices)
Change the Symbols List
To change the Symbols List simply find the file "\Windows\sym.txt", and edit + save this file. The structure of the file is pretty straight-forward:
On each line, type the regular letter or number for the key as it is when normally pressed. Follow that letter up with the alternative characters ('Symbols') in the order you wish for them to appear. For example, from a WWE ROM:
eèéêë
This will replace the letter 'e' when using the Sym key with 'è', then when striking the Sym key again with 'é', then 'ê', and so on.

Sure, but as I said, it's not the problem that this text file is wrong or anything- it seems that the symbol key doesn't work at all. No matter how many times I use this combination (blue dot + space), nothing changes, no effect on any letter/symbol/etc.
In the meanwhile I did a hard reset, installed all the apps again, same issue. I uninstalled the japanese IME, back to normal. I'm pretty sure that this prog changes some registry setting I need for the use of the symbol-key- I searched the whole registry, but since I'm not familiar at all with this I didn't find anything helpful...
Andreas
got exactly the same problem. Searching Internet and all but I dont find any solution: there must be a registry entry enabeling it but where...
Yep, got the same problem. Finding it hard to search for relevant problems to do with this. Any help would be apprieciated.
My elfin auto suggest words when using keyboard on a black horzontal line above the keyboard. How can I switch to the original WM vertical list method? Is there a reg key to change?
Thanks!
I think thats build into your SIP.
Which means you cant change it, you can try googling it though.
I'd really like to get rid of that black bar as well.
Is there some way you can change the SIP?
A solution
Ok I found out how to do it and it just requires a couple of small registry changes.
Change the following entries under registry key: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts
Ime File: compime.dll (compime.dll was in my Windows directory so I didn't need to copy it)
Layout Text: COMP IME
Soft reset and the old autocomplete that we all know and love is back, e.g. a small box with all the suggestions.

May not be as the keyboard is the standard WM keyboard, not the HTC one. Additionally, for some time, I managed to make the black bar go away and revert to the drop down list. But recently, I did a deep registry celarning using memmaid and somehow something was changed and it caused the blacj bar to appear again...
Wondering where in the Registry should I look for this....

Which one should I change? Or do I creat a new entry? Thanks for your help!
--------------------
Found put that I should change e0010409 from eT9ime.dll to compime. Problem is that I can;t find this file on my elf.... continuing to look

Hi,
I'd like to get my TP2 T-mobile to work with portuguese (ç, ´, `, etc).
Thanks for the help
Install these two registry keys and then you've got xt9 portuguese fully functioning.
I'd like to know how to install the .reg, because it says that it has no "application associated".
Thanks
You can import them using a registry explorer like SK Tools or Mem Maid or any other...
Thanks for the help.
I use Total Commander, but I haven't figured out to work.
I copyed to clipboard and past in the plugin/registry directory, but it didn't work
Total Commander doesn't support importing registry files.
You can use SK Tools here:
http://www.s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_downloads.html#tools
In the registry explorer select "Import" then select the files you want!
I did what you said but it didn't work.
How can I type ç, á, é, à, í, ó ?
I had a sony X1 and it was nice to type but the TP2 it's hard.
I was thinking, the TX9 is the digital keyboard? Because it already had those characters, I want the slide keaboard to work with those characters.
Thanks a lot for the patience.
------------------------------------
Problem solved!
I didn't activate the XT9, now it's working beautifully
Thanks to HRQ.SLV !!
If you want to use accented characters with the "FN" key in the hardware keyboard, you'll need to copy the attached file (eT9.Rhodium.ptp.kmap.txt) to the windows folder and apply the attached reg key. If you want to create you own keyboard layout check here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Rhodium/ChangingKeyboardLayout).
If you cannot select the portuguese language in the XT9 (hidden in foreighn devices by default) you can use the cab file "input lang diamond2 kb.cab" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3456978)
If you want to assign the <TAB> character to an hardware key (I've assigned it to the "mail" key) you can use the Rhodium Keyboard Controller ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240). I use the <TAB> key when SSH to linux boxes to autocomplete in the command line.
I also use the Rhodium Keyboard Controller to toggle wifi on/off using a long press in the VolUp key.
