Default HW keyboard - how can I write local characters?

Hallo,
I can use keys Sym+Space on Kaiser for national characters like ěščřžýáí, which I edit in file sym.0409.txt.

This file is in /windows directory on Raphael too, but how can I use it? I cannot write nationals chars on hardware keyboard...

Advice me, please.

Hi. Use MyMobiler to type using your computer and modify that file.

No answer, but more questions. Would it be possible to change the layout? Would one be able to do that with a simple hex editor applied to a dll file?

I have same question as nethopper. It will be great, if we can type our national chars on the hardware keyboard (via FN key), beause previous sollutions, which works fine on Universal or TyTN II don´t work on Touch Pro :(

I've often wondered if we could do like on a PC and hold down the Alt key and type the ASCII code

German Umlauts like ä ö ü can also not be used with the hardware keyboard.
If someone knows a way... Let me know :)

I wonder why they dont use the -regular character - point - space - thing anymore...

Right now I use T9 to get the Umlauts when writing sms/emails but in normal programms like the contacs you cannot use T9 so I have to use a softwarekeyboard (Touchpal)....

German layout is easy to set up.

\\HKLM\HARDWARE\DEFVICEMAP\KYEBD\CurLang

Value 1033 - English - It is default.

Value 1031 - German - I tried it. It is realy german keyboard layout. I use this settings on my Kaiser, because I neet to use QWERTZ.

Value 1029 - Czech - In device si missing kyeboard map definition. Grrr...

For example, other values are here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/229690
But you need to try it.
