Hi,
I'm using Audax L v31.0 with stock kernel on Note3.
On the Samsung Keyboard there are special characters on most of the letter buttons, which can be easily entered when doing a long press on the button. Then a popup box appears and you can select them.
For example on button "s" there is also the bang (!) and other s-variations.
On the shift-button there should be the colon ) available according to its inscription, but a long button press doesn't creates the character.
What I'm doing wrong? Is it a bug?
Regards

Has anyone been able to activate the symbols menu from the keypad that appears on the space bar key? It would be nice to enter a back slash without opening the onscreen keyboard.
Thanks in advance.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Explain, please.
Do you mean without opening the sliding hardware keyboard? You said "onscreen"; I think you mean with the onscreen keyboard.
on the hardware keyboard there is no backslash, so you have to use the software keyboard. I too didn't find a way to easily enter some "symbol" mode...
if you type the forward slash and still have the unit in symbol mode and hit space, it will change it to a back slash and then cycle through more symbols if you continue to hit space in symbol mode.
I thought of something like that... The only problem with that technique is, that you don't know which symbol is on which key (/\ is quite obvious of course ). Much nicher would be some table that pops up with symbols and you can chose there (communicator had that)
symbol mode
if you type the forward slash and still have the unit in symbol mode and hit space, it will change it to a back slash and then cycle through more symbols if you continue to hit space in symbol mode.
How do you get it into symbol mode once you slide open the keyboard? Typed forward slash then hit space and it moved forward. Just want to type a backslash without opening the onscreen keyboard.
Thanks in advance.
Hold the Button with the red dot while typing space bar. As with the whole keyboard, the red dot button accesses the red labels of the keys... so the "Sym" is written in red on the space bar, abviously this means it's accessed the same way.
Didn't work the first time. Got it now. Tyvm.
where is it????
either "?123" or "?123" then Alt. just to the right of the middle, in the second row down
on the standard keyboard?? you press the button on the bottom left of the keyboard with the globe and the number 12 next to it.... the "-" is in the middle of the bottom row.
Thanks a lot guys.
I don't how to switch Android keyboard and standard keyboard. In fact I don't know which one i am using.
But I found the - key. I need to press "123", then double click the face-icon next to 123. There are many symbles there, I got - in the list.
Long press on the text input box and it brings up an option to select "input method".. you can choose your kbd in there...
Dose anyone know how to change the input method with keyboard? Thanks a lot
If you want to use the alternate character for the key you can long press the individual key, press fn for a single use or long press fn for a locked position. The up arrow works the exact same way for capitalization. The ae key brings up the special characters for the entered letter and the smiley face is the emoticon button. The sym key brings up the onscreen keyboard symbols and don't forget to use the .com button while browsing.
Take a look at page 17 of the user manual and it explains things pretty well.
Also note that if you enter the people, messaging, email and search and a couple other things with the keyboard closed you can slide the keyboard open after entering and it will place you in the text field ready to type without an extra screen press. This is a very good keyboard if you get used to it.
I have installed JB 4.1.2 (new german rom) and i have found a bug in the keyboard: if you long press the comma key, you get now a single pop up (unlike when you long press the dot key, where you get an array of symbols) with a comma and a question mark, but there's no way to select it. This makes impossible to type a question mark, unless you switch to symbol mode.
I use Parboti Keyboard and/or MultiLing O Keyboard to type Bangla. As we have more letters than 26 we need to often press the shift key to type those letters. When I select Blackberry Keyboard (English) and slide open the physical keyboard, I don't have to press Shift and 'a' at the same time to get A. It is as if the Shift key is kept pressed once I press it. I want the same effect on my custome keyboard layout on Parboti or Multiling.
Please guide me someone. Thanks.
