sym.txt file (for symbol key)

[jorossian]

Where is it located? Every search I've found says it's in \windows directory, but it isn't there. Has it been changed with the latest T-mobile software?

I'm running WM6 (latest from T-mobile)

I wanted to move the Spanish ñ to the top of the list so it requires fewer keypresses to enter.

Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

perhaps, I'm asking the wrong question...

Is there a way to change/add/reorder the "special symbols" available in the symbols menu (when you press the sym/camera key in text mode)?

As of now I've been unable to locate the file that contains those characters. Several google's on the subject have directed me to look for a file named "sym.txt" in the windows directory however it appears to not exist in the T-mobile wm6 ROM. I assume the file (perhaps renamed or in a different file format or embedded in another font file) must exist somewhere on the device however, I've searched all over every directory and dragged everything that looked remotely like it could be it to the desktop to view with notepad.

No dice. It's driving me nuts. I'm hoping someone in here knows just what file the symbol key draws it's data from.

Please help :o

Well, I gave up :rolleyes:

But as necessity is the mother of invention I figured out a much better and easier solution (for me anyway).

I just edited the "eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt" file so that instead of an "&" when I hold down the "n" key (or alt-n) I get an "ñ".

{N N ñ ñ 0x18} instead of {N N & & 0x18}

The cool thing is it gives a capital "Ñ" in cap-lock mode too if I access the alt text :D

I like it. Now that I know how easy it is to personalize the keys I might just make another adjustment or 2 :p

By the way

Could that tiny modification cause problems I'm unaware of? Hope not.
