Helllo!
I've bought a Captivate Glide, and I'm very happy with the phone!
The only issue I have with the phone is the nordic letters (Æ, Ø, Å). I have to long press A or O, then navigate to the letter I want. Is there any way to hack the keypad to have the norwegian letters first in the selection? My phone is rooted.
Good question. I have too to edit the physical keymap because I can't use ~, < or > keys.

Hit the symbol button and you should find those keys. Also if you mess around with the keyboard, hitting alt + shift + n gives you the ~ symbol. I dont know any shortcuts for < or >

If I ask too, it is because I don't have these keys with the Sym button.
Thanks for the ~, alt + shift + k seems working too.

Yes, I have had that same question too as I am an avid ctrl-v, ctrl-x, ctrl-c person. How in the world can they give us an empty (albeit programmable) button but leave off the control button?

Many keyboards you can long press the key and its secondary character (number, punctuation etc) will br inserted instead.

The stock Samsung keyboard does this, actually.

does any one know how to change the key layout of the android sofy keys, i mean in a normal android or a nexus product, the soft keys goes in the order as ( First is the back button, then middle is home and last in the right is recent tasks button).
but in samsung s3 and note 2, when soft keys are enabled. The soft key layout is reversed. I mean the back button soft key which is supposed to be in the left is in the right , and the recent tasks button which is supposed to be in the right is in the left. Any one knows how to change the soft key layout?
anything to do with tht build.prop or the sys/usr/keylayout file?

I feel you mate.
Yes you are right go to sytem/usr/keylayout/generic.kl and swap 139 with 158 and reboot.
You need to use something like solid explorer that gives you root acces.
Have fun, W

I believe the 139 is for the menu button right? and 158 for back button ? but thr is no menu button on the soft keys right? its just a home button, back and recent tasks button. whats the number for the recent tasks button.
ill give it a try....thanks a ton man..

Hi all,
have been using this custom keypad layout for a while and now finally get around to post it...
Keyboard Allocation Modifications (touch keys unchanged):
MENU key mapped to TAB
HOME key mapped to CTRL_LEFT
SEARCH key mapped to CTRL_RIGHT
OK key (DPAD_CENTER) mapped to FORWARD_DEL (normal delete - instead of delicate (touch-)cursor-positioning, then backspace)
shift+alt+E: Euro sign (€)
shift+alt+K: < instead of (
shift+alt+L: > instead of )
shift+alt+,: ~ instead of =
shift+alt+.: ^ instead of \
shift+alt+?: | instead of / (pipe linux commands without switching to soft keyboard for that one stupid symbol!)
MIC key (+ shift/alt): mapped to [ {
www./.com key (+ shift/alt): mapped to ] }
DE layout: Z <=> Y
DE layout: [äöüß] mapped on shift+alt+[aous]
This allows proper usage of terminal, debian, tmux..
Little known fact: some useful common keyboard combinations become available when your device provides TAB & CTRL keys:
- ALT+TAB: application switcher
- CTRL + A [in text fields]: select all
- CTRL + C/X/V [in text fields]: copy/cut/paste
- CTRL + Z: unfortunately, no undo (what the fail?)
- TAB [in terminal]: shell tab completion!
- CTRL + C [in terminal]: interrupt running process
- CTRL + D [in terminal, empty command line]: exit shell
Improvement suggestions or questions, bring 'em on.
The files have to replace /system/usr/keychars/STMPE_keypad.kcm and /system/usr/keylayout/STMPE_keypad.kl respectively to be active.. Installable ZIP files in third post. :good:
nice, but you should make installable zip, like this , just change zip file.
recovery installable ZIP
ok here it comes
very great job! many thanks will test that soon
Hey Admin!!! ^^ Sorry My English Not Good
Can you Mod Volume Up = Wake Phone, Or Search = On/Off Phone?
I wana turn off Search key on the phone, too
ahem this is a great feature but I may have made an error in flashing because it'd be nice to compare the original setup! I was sold with ~ and <> etc but I kinda miss the search key believe it or not (for SMS etc it had become a habit)..
my suggestions after 20 mins.. if "Menu" key was L-Ctrl instead of tab, (flip them), you could slide your thumb from menu to A to "select all" in one motion (I even found it possible with home as L-Ctrl but not easy). Also, you could hit Alt-Tab w the same one thumbstroke!! Then, you really don't need R-Ctrl because XCV have enough space to hit with your right thumb while left thumb on Menu (now L-Ctrl). Then I can have my search key back and not lose any function
If you can share the original I can set it up this way! Oh, and also "OK" for delete is OK.. but could it be L-Ctrl + Bksp, or Shift+Bksp? OH WAIT that IS the default!! Shift+BKSP = delete!! Lucky guess
Thanks tho this is awesome!!

You are aware that there is one beneath the display on the right? & these capacitive buttons continue to work with expanded keyboard.

I might actually try swapping these.. although I already used this layout for months. But good point about CTRL+A (my tmux key) and ALT+TAB :good:
So just swap the numbers of both keys in the STMPE_keypad.kl:
Code:
key 102 CTRL_LEFT WAKE
key 139 TAB WAKE

well the Shift+BKSP trick doesn't work everywhere and definitely not within the terminal.
You can find the default files here:

did the swaps and modded the KB a bit and it's friggin fantastic!! Great tips Used the one-thumb ctrl+a today as well as the one-thumb alt-tab just by coincidence and they work great!! w 4.4.4 the phone is crazy fast(er) as well as less battery and with this mod it's friggin fantastic!! Glad I didn't commit to longer contract and went w ole cheapo glide again!! Thanks EMP!!
Hey guys, need some help to use special character "~" ... it's very used in brazilian language.
There letters should loks like "ã" "õ".
I find the simbol over "Esc" key but when i press just look like "Esc" and if i "press shift and press esc", only appear the character ' , but not "~". Did you guys know how to use this special character?
By the way, is there any way to use the special char "ç"?
Thank you guys
If i remember you need to press Ctrl + Shift + ~

Have you been able to figure out this problem? I'm having the same issue and the only mention of it online is this thread. Apparently, there is no easy way to change the language of the keyboard without changing the layout as well.
I have to press SHIFT + ESC to have ~, to have `just press ESC
To work ã, õ, ç, á, à, ê .....
- First, configure the layout to US International, then you'll be able to use ãáàâõóòôê....
- Second, ç (cedilla) has a detail. Continue with US INTERNATIONAL layout.
In Windows, '+c = ç, but in Android, '+c = ć.
' is apostrophe
So you have to press:
right alt + , = ç
shift + right alt + , = Ç
If even using US INTERNATIONAL Layout, you can't type what you want, it's an android issue. So install another US INTERNATIONAL layout.
