This seems like a rather minor question compared to the momentous improvements being defined for the Shift's WM6 side.
I have the GSM version with the European keyboard, so there is no @ key above the 2 as on the US keyboard. I notice there is a @ symbol on a key above what I think is an "egu" (the ' symbol used in some European languages), but I can't seem to get it to work -- neither shift nor Ctrl nor Fn work -- can anybody suggest how I can either use this key for the @ symbol or find it somewhere else on this keyboard.
Thanks!
You can create any keyboard layout using the microsoft keyboard editor for vista. It's a free downlaod and quite easy to use, specialy for changing just one key.

Has anybody worked out if the keyboard has a Ctrl key or a function that works like Ctrl , handy when quitting apps eg Ctrl Q.
Or editing.
I couldnt find it when I used the device.
Cheers
That's very strange because I have it on my MDA II's touchscreen keyboard. Are you talking about the touchscreen keyboard that you have to pop up by pressing the up arrow in the lower right-hand corner in the Messages app for instance?
I wonder whether this feature would also be ROM-dependent.
i meant the hard keyboard not sip. its on sip but when i used the universal i couldnt see it.
Yes I am interested in the Ctrl button on the universal as well, I owned a XDAIIs and found the keyboard on that didn't have the Ctrl key either so you can't do CUT/COPY or paste unless there is another way. I cut and paste heaps so the keyboard was useless to me on the XDAIIs.
Any one know if there is another way to do this on the Universal Keyboard.
what a wind up this is, cant believe they missed the ctrl button off the proper keyboard.
The keyboard has Cut/copy/paste function, so I am happy.
Jasjar is the most awesome PPC Phone yet.
there is a screen tap key (a bit like the right mouse click key on a full computer) this brings up the menu option, with copy and cut in it !! then you can just pres the relevant letter on the keyboard, thus having the same effect (ie press a function key then C or T or V).
PS its Fn [Space] key
cool... i wondered what that key did! that is useful!
[ctrl] is used for more things than copy+paste.
I use my Exec to communicate with *NIX servers using Pocket PuTTY. [ctrl] is kind of essential.
Agree, using putty is a nightmare without a ctrl key. Is there any way of mapping another key to do the same function
Hi
Is there any way to remap the keys on the slide-out keyboard? I want a £ symbol, not the $ symbol, and to enter it I have to get the stylus out and use either the pop-up keyboard or transcriber.
Also, is there any way of choosing which symbols appear on the transcriber pop-up symbol bar, and remapping the stroke used in transcriber for inserting a space? I'm used to the P900 where a stroke left to right would enter a space, just as in the 'letter recogniser' input method under windows. Getting used to the down then across stroke is annoying.
Cheers

There seems to be a method floating around here...
In the interim, assuming your not entering £ symbols constantly, the following keystrokes will get your desired output:
(DOT=bottom left key)
DOT <G> DOT <SPACE> DOT <SPACE>
Its very easy to get the £ on the Wizard. Just type a $ sign, then hold the dot and push the space bar twice. Viola!
there must be a way of making the £ sign the default!!!
Its weird how there are so many versions of HTC products that are all subtly different... on the O2 XDA Mini S you have both - the "$" is mapped to F, and "£" is the V key.
If that helps
(probably not)
na didnt help just gives me a + sign thanks any way.
Does anyone know of a software to remap the keyboard??

For those having trouble working the Sym key (dot-letter-dotHold-Sym to cycle through alternatives), please keep in mind that it only works in certain applications. For example, it works fine in Pocket Word - but it doesn't work in the Notes application; on my Qtek9100 anyway
My Keyboard layout has suddenly changed and the keys don't quite match up. Main one is the @ symbol, is no longeron it's own Key but above the 2. I installed office and I can see it's set the k db as English - Australian with a dropdown underneath that says us. I think this is where the issue is.
Can anyone tell we what the correct one should be?
keyboard layout in vista ... that's the only thing that is completely not working in Vista !
In 7 it seems better... but in Vista the keyboard layout is switching from FR to EN with a total non-sense... even if I have NEVER had the EN language for the keyboard layout :/
they have really ****ed up this feature in Vista.. and I really don't know how to solve this.
looking at a post on pocketables I can see that I have the european keyboard with the pound symbol above the 3 key. I might experimetn with some...
the best way to find the real location of your keyboard is to use a live-cd of Linux... and you get some utility to find the keyboard with a few keys ;-)
Fixed!
Fixed
Simple fix once I saw on pocketables that it was a European keyboard. I simply went into the regional settings and added an English UK keyboard and selected that one and now the keys all match up.
When i write a text and use the sym button it adds a e with two dots above it before the symbal that i have chosen.
is this a prob or am i doing something wrong to make this happen?
no one else had this?
Not seen that here ...and just tested of course -within an SMS, using the sym key and then selecting the character I want on-screen ...that character is added perfectly
Ive got a problem atm where when i try to use the blue key to get number and symbols it doesnt work so im having to use the on-screen keyboard which is a pain.
Installed the htc touch 2 keyboard and it wont let me uninstall
guess the only thing to do is another hard reset
no problem here - sym key pops up symbol sip
using jacks 2.9 rom with no extra sip's installed
Dear follow DZ owner:
Just bought my DZ today, and disappointed to find a hardware problem.
1. the "printing" of the symbol on the hardware keyboard doesn't match with the soft keyboard, this creates a lot of trouble for the user who get used to the standard HTC layout. e.g. # is on S key and $ is on D key while on soft keyboard @ is on S and # is on D
2. the strange thing is the symbol output from the hardware keyboard IS indeed still based on the soft keyboard layout, which means what you type on the hardware keyboard is NOT what you get from output on the screen.
e.g. printing of the # is on the S key, however output generates by long press S is @ and the worst is output by pressing FN + S gives #.
I didn't see anyone discussing this issue. Am I the only one that is bug by this problem/issue???
In your second picture, it shows that your on-screen keyboard is the English keyboard ("EN"). Press the soft key towards bottom left and you should be able to select different languages, is there one that matches better in that list ?

Sorry, what I was trying to point out is that, when a key combine with FN its output is not the same as long press on a key.
Will remapping keys help fix this problem?
I'm also using HK version, but I don't use the built-in IME since I type in PinYin普通话拼音, didn't notice that issue.
If you wanna have a look at the key-mapping, go

pull it to your computer and open it with text editor, notepad or UltraEdit etc.
The reason its like this is simple.
The hardware keyboard has its own design, made to make our use easier (according to the guys at HTC), however this keyboard still runs on the SAME software used to run the on screen touch keyboard this is why when you do things like long press you still get certain behaviours of the touch keyboard.
You will either need to remap, or just simply get used to the new layout, it will happen over time.
@OP: your key map doesn't match your physical keyboard.
@Lennyuk: No.

That's the whole point, the stupid HTC guy think the new key layout will help the user. The truth is they are re inventing the wheel.
