Hi Ryan, What hardware keyboard layout are you using at the moment? You can check this by going to the Settings->Text Input.
You should be able to input extra characters by pressing Fn and then the Sym/Ctrl key. A dialog with extra characters pops up and all you need to do is tap on the desired one. Could this end your saga? :) -- Joaquim Rocha Igalia ยท Free Software Engineering Ryan Abel wrote: > Many people are likely to complain that the N900's 3-row keyboard does > not contain enough keys to be usable.

It would be great to bind these to some useful purpose. > _______________________________________________ > maemo-developers mailing list > maemo-developers@maemo.org > https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
