    2. I canīt have "right arrow" and "down" on the "right arrow" button because of the limitation above. I canīt get it to work, but you could change my current settings to have "left" and "right" on this button.
    3. Switching between icelandic and english keyboard is as simple as pushing ctrl and space at the same time
    Maybe you could try with "arrows_2btns" as a basis and overwrite it for the 4 buttons version? Not sure if it will work but may be worth a try...

    Actually this works fine. I tried starting from the 2-button template and that didnīt work at all.

    The right arrow now functions as right arrow in english keyboard and right/left in the russian/icelandic keyboard.

    The down arrow functions as down in english one and up/down in russian/icelandic

    Thatīs fine and sort of rational I think.

    Does anyone know how to remap those three keys:
    Ctrl -> Shift
    Shift -> Fn
    Fn -> Ctrl
    I'd like to have a PC style keyboard:)

    I've changed the following entries in rx-51...

    partial hidden alphanumeric_keys
    xkb_symbols "english_base" {
    ...
    key <SPCE> { [ space, Tab, at, at ] };
    ...
    };

    partial hidden alphanumeric_keys
    xkb_symbols "common_keys" {
    ...
    key <BKSP> { [ BackSpace, Delete, Delete ] };
    ...
    };

    ... with the objective to have Tab at Shift-Spacebar and Delete at Shift-Backspace and FN-Backspace.

    This all works as expected in e.g. the Notes app, but in the X Terminal:
    - the Tab doesn't perform the expected auto-completion function, as the Tab on touchscreen does;
    - Shift-Backspace doesn't work; instead it shows "2~";
    - however, FN-Backspace works!

    In 'vi' it gives similar problems.

    Anyone knows what's happening?

    [QUOTE=olighak;478423]DO NOT FOLLOW MY STEPS FOR NOW. YOUR PHONE WILL TURN INTO A BRICK AT NEXT REBOOT. I HAVE BRICKED 5 N900's SO FAR IN 5 ATTEMPTS, THAT'S A SUCCESSFUL BRICKING PERCENTAGE OF 100%. I'M INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM WHICH SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO CHANGES MADE IN FIRMWARE FROM WEEK 51.

    Hi Olighak
    Is it still unsafe to apply your fix for the Icelandic keyboard ?, I really want to get this working as you describe it

    Applying "broken" rx-51 file and then executing 'setxkbmap XX' command (XX = your language) doesn't throw any errors? My bet is that there is some typo in rx-51 file that prevents from successful processing, which I think should be picked on-the-spot by running command as above, instead of rebooting and bricking device.

    Since shift is pressed, the shell (or vi) actually sees shift+del and shift+tab. I can't think of a simpler solution than to use fn for those keys instead of shift.

    Has anyone successfully mapped "Return" to a key. I have a couple of console apps (rtorrent and cmus) that seem to require "Return" rather than KP_Enter, I tried modifying the xterm bar and put the following in rx-51

    key <RTRN> { [ KP_Enter, KP_Enter, Return, Return ] };

    Also tried remapping function BKSP, but with no joy.

    Anyone experience anything similar/ get it to work.

    Edit: Due to a fortuitous post on Debian Planet, I have discovered that it is probably a bug in xterm, see https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6009 and https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6045

    Ho-hum, ctrl-m it is.....

    Regarding bricking, it won't happen for key mapping problems if you install sshd on your N900. You will then be able to connect by remote (by wifi or usb) to the phone and access your file system, and change keyboard mappings, just if you were using the xterm application. I really can't understand why anyone would choose not to do this.
