noob alert

Also there is a problem with this line:
Code:
        CharacterKey { caption: "τ"; captionShifted: "Τ"; symView: "5"; symView2: "₹" }
I get little square in notepad++ in place of character between quotes for
Code:
symView2: "₹"
. Will this show as character or little square in Jolla? In notepad++ I used Encoding in UTF-8 Without BOM to create the el.qml. Which encoding should be used?

Apologies, I've just seen this now!

1) I 've scp-ied the el.qml file over from my main system to the phone, i.e.

Code:

scp el.qml nemo@192.168.xx.x:/home/nemo

2) Connected via ssh to the phone, became root and copied the file over to the directory of interest:

Code:

devel-su
cp /home/nemo/el.qml /usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/jolla/layouts

This means that Developer mode is already active and a password has been set. Otherwise, I think it won't work out.

3) I edited the file layouts.conf (using nano

Code:

nano layouts.conf

) and added the following (before EN):

Code:

[el.qml]
name=Hellenic
languageCode=EL

Of course, use Ctrl + X to save the edit.

4) Finally, I've followed the example in the first post and ran (as nemo, not as root)

Code:

exit
systemctl --user restart maliit-server.service

As for the strange character, I need more time to investigate as I am not an expert on the subject.
