The trick is the sym.txt file in your device's windows folder. It defines the order how characters are changed when sym-button is pressed.

File is located in ROM, so you can not edit it directly. But you can first copy it to your PC, and edit there. You can change order, or add any new characters. I added for example euro symbol behind e letter. Use notepad for editing.

Then copy edited file back to device windows folder. Copy of the sym.txt file will actually be created to RAM memory, and after soft-reboot it picks up the edited one.

Cheers from Finland! :)

Wow...great tip. I blog by e-mail and it has always bothered me that < and > required so many keypresses! Much better now.

Thanks.

Tattis,

I have nordic keyboard (and driver for our chars), but would like to update ROM so, this might be very handy.
