Is this a bug or have I just not figured out how to do this the intended way? Tap the ~, press space and then join the ranks of people upset by the broken, unobvious, unintuitive and just plain crazy behaviour of the character palette. I can see the point when the special character is necessary as a modifier to a regular character for languages that need them. If there's a more straightforward way to accomodate people who need ñ, ô, ü, etc. then I can't think of it. I'd say vote for the bug, but can't find it (perhaps the easiest way of finding it would be to raise it again and let Andre mark it as a dupe ;-)) Here: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5314 Cheers, Andrew -- Andrew Flegg -- mailto:and...@bleb.org | http://www.bleb.org/ ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users -- import sig ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I'll say it confused me too, even though I need those modified characters and am used to deadkeys. Apart from making the character modifier palette buttons more distinct (maybe a different button color?) what might have unconfuzzled me would have been a system notification instructing me to type one more character, or a space; the thin yellow bar across the top. There's probably better ideas out there though. -- Andrew Flegg -- mailto:and...@bleb.org | http://www.bleb.org/ -- import sig ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: maemo.org Custom Google Search
Some observations: 1. Duplicated content from the maemo.org and brainstorm tabs 2. The wiki tab, searching for josef: finds http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Josefdk but doesn't find http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo.org_Sprints/November_09 for example 3. Not getting anything for on the t.m.o tab if one searches by Josef, but plenty if searching by JosefA. 4. the b.m.o search for josef finds my reported bug 5304 and another one I commented on 5672 but not others I reported like 5310, 5311 5. Doesn't find any of my posts on the mailing lists (search term again, narcissistically, josef) Not having any packages in my name, I'll forgive that it doesn't find anything there. :) On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 02:16:17PM -0500, Reggie Suplido wrote: I've integrated the maemo.org Custom Google Search over at Talk (TMO), that will allow you to search the whole and specific sections of maemo.org.
