pipe character on n810

2008-02-12 Thread Noah Davids
Well in the x-term application you can add the pipe character to the toolbar
shortcuts at the bottom of the window. From the menu select tools and then
settings. Press the "Toolbar shortcut" button, then new. Title can be
anything you want, value should be "bar" without the quotes.  Be sure that
the initial "b" is lower case, upper case will not work.

In OS2008 you can configure what buttons are in the X terminal toolbar.
I have there buttons for both tab and pipe (the required symbolic name
for pipe is "bar").

You can remap the n810's built-in hardware keyboard and replace the
yen or euro symbol with the pipe | symbol.

Edit the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-44 file.

Change this...

key { [ m, M, euro, euro ] };

To this...

key { [ m, M, bar, bar ] };

Do a hard reset.  Pipe | is now Fn-m.

I found the above info by googling.  URL available on request.

Finding | on the n800's virtual keyboard is a little tricky, too.

First select Caps (second row down on your far lefthand side) and
then select &!e (third row down on your far righthand side)

Then select Symbols (top row, second closest to your far lefthand
side) and then select | (see URL below) 

http://sillyblog.net/images/screenshot_20080211.png

It's above the copyright symbol, next to pi.

Tallyho,

Yes, indeed. It is even possible to have the vertical bar promoted to
the first screen of the special characters field on the N810.

There is some wiki around that rearranged the key map for other
languages. I am so lazy that I have not bothered to look up that link.
But it would probably be the place to start.

Since the 800's keyboard (in both forms) is purely an on-screen display,
shouldn't it be possible to rearrange the layout with a patch?

(And, yes, I have to wonder what they were thinking to give = precedence
over -...)

Almost there. After pressing the chr, then you have to press the up
arrow on the screen. There you have what is likely one of the most
important unix special characters. Crazy. At least the '-' has been
promoted to a first class key on the N810.

Even worse, does anyone know how to get the pipe character on the IGO BT
keyboard (using N800/OS2007 with HW keyboard set to Generic 104/English-UK)? 
The specials are all over the place (tilde, gt, lt, not, etc all on the wrong
keys) and no key at all generating the vertical bar.

I don't know but if you press and release the left Chr key you will get a
popup with special characters.
