[N950][Help/Discuss]Change input language of HW keyboard
 

Anyone uses language other than English on N950?

As the HW slider is open, the input method will be automaticly switch to default English.

Is there any way to change the keyboard setting to make other latin-based input methods avaliable? Like the keyboard on Nokia N900. User can switch input method using HW keyboards.(ctrl+space)

Also I found a folk called foolegg has kindly made a plugin of Chinese Pinin for the N950 HW keyboard. Maybe this can be a reference applying other input methods?

https://github.com/foolegg/maliitChinesePlugin

Can someone tell me how to apply this? Where to put these files?

Please share your advice.:)

It's not that different from N900 (http://wiki.maemo.org/Remapping_keyboard).
You can change the hw kb layout using setxkbmap and/or editing /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rm-680 file -- here's mine, modified for Polish locale (and for ADOM, too ;) ). Polish characters are accessible with SYM+letter. Symbols menu pops up when SHIFT+SYM is pressed.

Thank you for your tips! It is helpful. :)

Actually I'm looking for more than remapping the keys. I want to use the same physical keyboard layout, but use it for typing Chinese.

Is it possible to keep the visual keyboard input method while the HW keys are slided out? I do have the visual input method but don't want to change to english when the keyboard is out...

Would you mind having a look for the github link? It seems designed for N950 but I don't know how to install. The developer no longer replies...

Thank you so much.

Edit: Is it about Maliit Keyboards? https://wiki.maliit.org/Development
