Craig 1,435 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I used keymapper to make it into a slash key. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elvissteinjr 359 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 It sends KEYCODE_SYM. "Symbol modifier key. Used to enter alternate symbols." iirc this was meant to bring up the emoji selection too, but Alt already does that (they moved the label then). It's a modifier that can be used for bindings, but no default mapping seems to use it. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Check the keymap(s) for QWERTZ to see if he put it somewhere else. If not you can email him and ask him about implementing it. This is why we had either a signature or could do what Eske was able to do with having profile info sow up under the username-- It would be nice to see what configuration someone who asks or answers a question has. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lameboyadvance 98 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) FinQWERTY certainly looks like a util I'll be installing as soon as I get my Pro1. ...Is it possible to use custom KCM files? Being able to custom define our own layouts would be the only thing that could make it even better. Edited January 26, 2020 by lameboyadvance A word 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Currently there isn't an option for that and I don't know about other solutions to do it without rooting. However, I have not tried it, but I think if you download FinQwerty's apk, and modify the appropriate .kcm file in this archive and install it directly instead of the original application, it should work. ...or if you make your own build like I did. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have been in dialogue with @Anssi Hannula on this, and As I understood it, the kcm-files must be part of the APK, he is not allowed to generate or load them dynamically. I did not get the details, but I guess it could be it is a requirement from the Android Market, and thus a political and not a technical obstacle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waxberry 638 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Thanks to the creator of FinQWERTY that adds its function. There were work carried out regarding the SYM key, that user can define 12 symbols and will bring up the selection box in text input when SYM is pressed. (Like attached) But then team is busy fixing all the bugs, and the development was postponed until the nasty bugs are squashed, which we are still working on. I will do best to continue the development of this feature! 4 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benni 183 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) @Waxberry a bar at the bottom of the landscape screen would probably be easier to reach. Are there any plans to change the default keyboard layout to type alpha to allow predictions and sticky keys. See discussion here: https://github.com/anssih/finqwerty/issues/6#issuecomment-578507816 Edit: Can we get a public bugtracker to know that all bugs are properly reported and organized? The known bugs post is getting out of hand. Edited January 27, 2020 by kontakt 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Like attached) If the 12 is not something locked by android but within your control, it would be SUPER elegant, if you rather than twelve had one for each of the letter&symbol-keys so we pressing the Sym had a staggered keyboard map pop up, and then pressing say the M got what ever symbol we put there. (Optimally with the HW-printed letter&symbols in faint small print, and the symbols in clear print in this helper display) If Sym was used as a modifier with the M, we could have the symbol directly without the helper screen popping up. And this system could be expanded to allow Sym+modifier keys. Allowing us to have BUNCH of symbols right at our fingertips, with helper display.... That would be just AWESOME! 6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gelraen.ua 33 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I can't figure it out 🙂 It's not used in the character map, as far as I can tell. If I try using it as a modifier, it seems to swallow some of the keys, and that's about it. Does it do anything else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That seems like a very nice idea for people who need many symbols. If only Steve Jobs would have taken that approach rather than going for the virtual keyboard. :-/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SYM as modifier key is definitely possible. That's a great suggestion! Making the staggered pop-up will require we make a custom Input Method, something I'd love to but will pose a huge cost... So maybe when we get bigger. But making Sym key as a edible modifier sounds great and achievable. 2 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is Sym+U would match the top left symbol etc. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
