International English Keyboard On A C3000
« on: March 29, 2005, 06:06:48 pm »
On my 5600 I had opie-multikeys working with the associated libraries.  I've tried getting it to work on my C3000 without success.

Anybody know of anything similar that would work?  I don't like the Unicode pickboard... it's WAY too convoluted for what I need.  Ideally I'd like to just have a single, international keyboard with alternate keys using a combo of FN, Ctrl and letter.

Thanks.

Have a look at keyhelper - Site in Japanese

I wrote an intro to it available here. It should do everything you want to do (and more )

There are a lot of useful hints on setting up keyhelper to do specific things on these forums. So search for "keyhelper" if you have any problems - or give me a yell and I'll try to help you.

I'm using the KeyHelper applet at the moment, with a custom-made keyhelper.conf file to remap some of the keys on my C3000. For instance, pressing Fn+5 will give me the Euro char, or Fn+S the "ccedilla" (ç), Fn+Ctrl+a will give "acirc" (â), etc... so that I can type the (French) accented characters.

If you are interested I can detail the content of my .conf file...

I've tried other solutions (using CyrInput with KeyHelper features, or Custom Keyboard), but this didn't work reliably enough (or at all in some cases).
