Setting national characters. How to?

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.

change keys on keyboard?

Does anybody knows if it posible to change the assinment of the keys on the keyboard?
I would like to change the Windows Startbutton into CTRL, So i can easy use CTRL C and CTRL V.
Do i have to change the keybddr.dll for it?

Not to be a "me 2"er, but I am looking to swap the comma and period. They're on the same key, but I have to use the "Option" button (round dot) to get a comma. Well, when I'm option-locked and typing numbers, I use the period a lot more than when I'm typing letters. I'd like to see a way to simply swap those two functions on that key.

Is it possible to do a ~ on the Titan?

Is it possible to do a ~ on the Titan? I don't see it anywhere on the keyboards. Is it possible to get an expanded keyboard program anywhere to send that key?

Yes it possible but not easy. Hit function then tab an onscreen menu will pop up scroll down three clicks and there it is. Im posting from my mogul so ill throw one up to ~ , you get all sorts of symbols ™ € № {} § those are a few

Thanks. Anyway to map that to a key?

Diamond Keyboard
Use the diamond keyboard app. and just hold "H" and you'll get it. Much easier.

I have had problems using the tilde (~) that you get from function-symbols for our WEP key, so I usually text it to myself from a PC (verizonwireless.com). Not sure why it is different, but this method always works for me.

on a pc one can get any ascii key by holding down the alt key and typing in the ascii value
maybe it works on pda's too

also, you could hit the function key then Q for the @ symbol, immediately followed by Function then Space.

Does anyone of you knows a solution for this?
Is there a possibility like in Windows with ALT+keycode or anything else?
Thanks a lot in advance

Have you tried going into the system settings, and change everything to German concerning keyboard input?
Android doesn't really recognize Windows keyboard shortcuts.

I use External Keyboard Helper Pro from Google Play to change layout for my external keyboard.

Hello to all
I have found the solution for my keyboard problem.
Alt s = ß
Alt u makes the dots for öäüÄÖÜ
First you type alt u for the dots and then the letter!
Alt u U = Ü and so on
Thanks to all

[PRO] Remapping hardware buttons / hardware keyboard

Hi folks,
I'm trying to remap the hardware buttons of my rooted Xperia Pro with stock ICS 4.0.4, but there are some quirks that trouble me.
Basically, I want to
1.) remap the language button on the QWERTZ hardware keyboard.
2.) Prevent the camera button from unlocking the phone - just press power to show the lock screen, then hold camera button, the press home key and you'll see how easy it is for the phone to unlock in your pocket.
So far, I parsed through the keyboard layout files in /system/usr
I remapped key 368 in pm8058-keypad.kl to CTRL_LEFT, which did not seem to make any difference! Language button still invokes language dialog
I also modified quertz.xml and qwerty-en.xml by replacing META_LANGUAGE with META_CTRL_LEFT - did not make any difference.
Of course, I rebooted the phone inbetween...
Regarding 2), I have no clue. Butting WAKE_DROPPED behind CAMERA and FOCUS in pm8058-keypad.kl does not help.

I could use some help with key remapping as well. If I find some info i'll send it your way.

No progress for me so far... anyone?

I want to re-map the 0 (Zero) key and the OK button orientation on the PIN Lock feature. Any info what files I need to change?

I GOT IT!!! partially at least....
Reading through http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-character-map-files.html and http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-layout-files.html once again, I finally found something that pointed me into the right direction!
I order to make my change to the Language button work (remapping key 368 to CTRL_LEFT), there are two possible ways:
1.) Set hardware keyboard to FULL keyboard type by replacing "type ALPHA" with "type FULL" in /system/usr/keychars/pm8058-keypad.kcm
This will make the hardware keyboard work without any additional GUI, so pressing shift will allow you to select text and copy&paste via ctrl+a,c,v,x now works (This still depends on the app you are using. Some do ignore this, some will still work with menu+a,c,v,x instead)
But beware:, in order to enter numbers or upper case letters, you now have to keep the modifier key pressed.
Printable characters can be edited via /system/usr/keychars/pm8058-keypad.kcm, non-printables like modifier keys can be edited via /system/usr/keylayout/pm8058-keypad.kl
Android keycode names can be found here: http://source.android.com/tech/input/keyboard-devices.html
Until now, I was unable to create a solution for entering special characters like ä,ö,ü
I tried to via sym or meta keyword in .kcm file while mapping the Sym key to SYMBOL or META_LEFT via the .kl file, but it didn't work...
2.) The .xml files in /system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts are used only with the keyboard configured as "type ALPHA". In order to identify the correct .xml file, you have to parse through the files in /system/usr/keyboard-config/languages and look for the script keyword, which in conjunction with the declarations in /system/usr/keyboard-config/keyprint.xml will tell you to the layout xml file for your device localisation.
Now, in order to remap printable characters, you have to edit the correct layout xml file and for non-printable characters, you have to edit the scancodes.xml file in /system/usr/keyboard-config.
Unfortunately, shift-selecting text will not work with "type ALPHA" mode and it seems that editing scancodes.xml is not sufficient to remap language button to CTRL_LEFT, but the .kl file has to be changed, too.
