Keyboard question: Fn Lock and (.) - maemo.org

janszoon | # 1 | 2010-01-13, 22:27 | Report

Hi.

n900:
When fn Lock is on (i.e for typing numbers on the keyboard) is there a way to type a dot (.) without disengaging the fn lock?

I'm a muppet if I missed this one

Control plus dot

EDIT: Only works in terminal

Ok. (while fn on)
If I hold CRTL, then dot. nothing happens.
If I double click ctrl it works, but disengages Fn lock and opens onscreen characters.

confused, is it just mine?

I just want to type ip addresses without having to disengage fn for the dot :-(

CHeers.

I realized Ctrl + (.) only works in the terminal.

Your best option is to edit /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51 file to suit your needs. (e.g. changing period to question and vice versa)

I find easier to shut the keyboard and used the on screen one, because that has both numbers and the dot one the same screen.

yeah, thats what I'm doing now...but just nice to use keyboard sometimes too.

Oh well - might try to 'edit' keymap someday.

Thanks for the tips all of you
