I prefer using the on-screen keyboard with the enlarged keys, and with the "space" key.
The problem is, that I can't find the "?". So everytime I have to ask a question, I have to change the input method - that is so irritating. I have to say, that my keyboard is scandinavian - so maybe they had to sacrifice the "?" for the local letters we have.
But, if the "?" is there on the keyboard - then do somebody know where it is hidden? And if not, is it posible in changing the layout/some letters - in a simple and easy way?
On an English keyboard the ? is accessed via the shift key.
Unfortunately that is not the case om the scandinavian keyboard. Maybe it is because there are not enough keys - since they have to include three letters more than the english (æ, ø and å).
But they have included signs like: "["
A sign most people rarely use, but a "?" people use all the time. :?
Do they ? ;-)
Sorry I have no idea, but couldn't resist.

does an english wizard have the same physical keyboard (letters in the same positions) than an italian or french or german wizard?
Are the keyboards all the same?
thanx
nope.. T-Mobile germany's keyboards are QWERTZ:

While here's a French AZERTY:

well...i need to know the italian and the english...do they match?
as far as letter and number keys go, yes - IT and EN are both:
QWERTYUIOP
ASDFGHJKL
ZXCVBNM
There may be some difference in the other keys, due to the italian language making use of extended letters a lot (thus putting them on the keyboard would be useful for users of it).
Haven't spotted a picture of an IT one yet
if the underlying question is: Can I use an english ROM with an italian device? The answer is : yes. You will find other posts that explain what registry changes will let you map correctly the keyboard. Like in France we use AZERTY keyboards, so making the correct registry changes, we can use our french keyboard and use the A key and get an A instead of a Q
yes but the problem is that in italian qwerty there are buttons for à,è,é,ò,ì,ù ...very used letter in my language...i just wonder if on english qwerty these letters/button ar present and primary.
Its' the same in French! If you have an italian device and if you update correctly the registry you should have all keys functionning as before. I've not tested it yet on my phone (still a french ROM) but I do it on my PC: french keyboard and english OS. I can use all the accented letters like if I were using a French keyboard with a French OS. I don't see why it should be otherwise on the PPC.
i can't explain...sorry!
what I mean is if the letter/button "è" (for instance) is NOT PHISICALLY present/written on the phisycal qwerty english tkeyboard BUT it is present ( and IT IS PRESENT because I use it everyday) on the italian qwerty...this answers to my question
Not quite sure what you are looking for exactly. Anyway, maybe this will help:
go to \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd
There should be a "Locale" string value. If it's not there create it! and give it the value "0410"
To get the accented letters like e
press e
then the blue dot (left bottom corner)
then the space bar
I hope I'm making sense.Good luck!
:x
He's asking whether the keys are physically there on the slide-out keyboard. I.e. is there a little label / sticker with "è" on it?
There isn't one the English version (you can still get that character by means of the Sym key in combination with the 'e' key).
just to add confusion to this problem.
i have a t mobile MDA and a frien has a O2 mini and the keyboard layout is different on both. the Mini gets the benefit of a '£' sign whilst i have to get the electronic keyboard out for this. i suppose i could do a reg edit, anyone know how???
Hi all!
I'm a french guy who use to work with an Herald with AZERTY keyboard; wich include accent on the hardward keyboard when a letter is combined with the "FN" button and space bar.
So my problem is: after upgrading my Herald with This Rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469522 ) i've lost this feature. In fact, I have a QWERTY virtual keyboard, wich is not a problem but the Hardware keyboard was QWERTY too, I've made it AZERTY without problem, but I don't have any accent when I use "FN" (wich should write an "é" when I press the letter "e" and then press space bar).
So my question is; How can I make accent come back on my AZERTY hardward keyboard?
(for the virtual keyboard I use Finger keyboard; so there's no problem.)
If anyone have an idea... Thks!
Sorry for this new thread but
I've got a problem :
I want to use AZERTY keyboard but my HD2 always stay with a phone like keyboard. Anything I change in the keyboard setings i don't manage to have the azerty keyboard when i need to type text
May someone help me please ?
I answer to myself.
Sorry to disturb
To change type of keyboard you have to press the small arow (hard to do with big finger like me) which is just next (to the right) of the image which is used to show or hide the keyboard.
Then you can choose the type of keyboard you want.
Sorry again for the disturbing.
How can i change my keyboard language from english to greek . I go to menu , settings , language and keyboard , touch input , settings and the default language is only english and nothing else .I want to put there the greek language so i could write with greek with my hardware keyboard . Thank you
Sorry if this is a silly question, but does your phone have an English hardware keyboard, or a Greek one ?
My phone have an English hardware keyboard but it has an option to choose in settings for other languages to the harware keyboard and the only option in english too choose If i have other option in the greek language i choose the other language like aekmap in windows mobile
I see there's an option to select Greek for the on-screen keyboard. But as you say it only shows English for the hardware keyboard.
So you want to re-map the keys ? I'm sure there must be others with a similar requirement.
Yes i want to remap the keys Maybe with a programme maybe with root because the same phone is celling to Greece too but the HTC here did not help me !!!
I've done a quick search on google for "G1 keyboard layout" and found that those guys could edit a .bin file in /system/usr/keychars/ with hex edit and it wasn't too difficult.
How different can it be?
Dont want to hijack the thread but i had a slightly different idea.
I dont much use the Right FN, Shift and custom keys and search.
What about a script to make these Cursor Keys like the one that works on the optical pad? I saw a script to make the Optical pad pressing Wakeup the screen. I think this could be done too. I miss cursor keys that can be pressed constantly to scroll, not just with the optical pad.
Here's a thread from the G2 forums about key mapping, it might help point you in the right direction ?

Hi there, it's my first post...
I've used to have on default android keyboard the International English Keyboard enabled, but after a factory reset on my A500 I can't type accents anymore...
I take a look on: Settings/configure input methods/Android keyboard
And the only "Active input methods" are: English (US) Keyboard, English Voice
I don't have a International English Keyboard...
Before the reset accents worked fine, I just needed to long press a vowel key and a menu shows on text editor. But now this ain't working anymore.
Besides that, another different behaviour: before the reset the keyboard was very much like a real one (a hardware one) when I hold shift key I could press another key and that other was typed on upcase. Now it don't work too.
I asked this also on android enthusiasts (stack xchange).. lets see maybe somebody know whats happening...
Somebody knows how back it the way it was before?
