Tab didn't work for me (even with xmodmap). Shift left/right arrow (joypad) might be good for backtab and tab.

The rest of the characters worked with xmodmap normally.

Hi all,
any success with modifying rx-44? Any pitfalls? I will try and report but just wanted to make sure I don't mess things up.
Thanks.

The only pitfall I've seen is that "Tab" needs to be capitalized, "tab" will not work as a keyword. Otherwise it's just a matter of editing a text file properly, way easier than modifying a Windows keyboard layout ! Make a backup of the original first and you're set...

The only drag is having to reboot to test your modifications. This being Linux, I'm pretty sure there must be a command that can be run in xterm to update the layout, rebooting is just a lazy cheat :-)

All,
I googled /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-44. and found a few descriptions that were useful.

fpp, thanks. Yes I did backup and luckily so. Edited rx-44 using vim but each time I must be making some mistake since I don't get what I want after rebooting! And yes, having to reboot each time is a pain.

Thanks.

make your keyboard do anything you want
This hint is completely useless without a description of the file format. Maybe you shoul just paste your file here?

As far as I know, there's nothing unusual about the keyboard layout files in Maemo, so you should be able to use any of the many guides or bits of reference documentation available in many places on the web. For instance, there's a fairly friendly introduction to the file format about midway down "Creating custom keyboard layouts for X11 using XKB".
