Never mind... I found the problem.
There are two files for the German keyboard: "german" and "deutsch". I edited the "german" but used the "deutsch".  

Now I edited both and it works like a charm.
Thanks for all your help!

Trying to see if keyhelper will work on my sl5500.  It installed okay from the command line, but the keyhelper GUI with all those boxes don't recognize anything I enter from the keyboard although tapping on the boxes with my stylus does move the cursor.

I tried using khctl to see if that would work and what I get is:

May30# khctl
bash: khctl: command not found
May30#  

May30# khctl reload
bash: khctl: command not found
May30#  

Is this a lost cause until someone ports it for the sl5xxx keyboards?  Has anybody already?

What I have is  (couldn't figure out how to download a more recent version if there is one):
    keyhelperconf_0.3.0-1_arm.ipk

Really could use this app.

Thanks,

Neat! I commented out the mappings in
/home/zaurus/Settings/keyhelper.xml

and removed the two lines in
/home/zaurus/Application/cyrillica/english
[keyboard]
','  ','  '/' <-- remove
'/'  ','  ',' <-- remove

and it works fine in Cacko already.

I use English primarily but read and input Chinese characters occasionally.

Somebody please help!

Downloaded the keyhelper auxiliary ipk from bam's
http://www.thegrinder.ws/main/downloadable...1.2.2-1_arm.ipk
 so the GUI's boxes now recognize me pressing keys, but I still don't have a clue how to use this thing.

Well, I've got a lot of clues from Introduction_to_KeyHelper, but it's still pretty confusing.

I've written an earlier post in this thread and in another with more specific questions about writing the xml file, explaining what I want keyhelper to do for me, and they still are up in the air.

At least there's some progress, but I'm stuck.

This worked for me also.  I have been struggling with this FOREVER.

A big THANK YOU to Stubear.

Okay, I've got keyhelperconf installed, and figured out the folllowing sequence enables me to load without a "Load Error".

khctl disable
khctl enable
khctl load keyhelperconf.xml

However, the following simple xml file I wrote, just to start with, has no effect on the mapping of the \ I'm going for.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<keyhelper>
<modifiers>
<define key="Control" type="Control" toggle="True"/>
<define key="Alt" type="Alt" toggle="True"/>
</modifiers>
<mappings>

<define key="/">
<modifier Control="On"/>
<map code="0092"/>
<map_unicode char="\"/>
<map_modifier Control="Off"/>
</define>
</mappings>
<repeater>
</repeater>
<extensions>
</extensions>
</keyhelper>

I tried instead with NumLock (which is [ctl] + [/] on sl5500) instead of / and no change either.  What's wrong here?

Should it perhaps be:

<define key="Slash">   <----- and not "/"
<modifier Control="On"/>
<map code="0092"/>
<map_unicode char="\"/>
<map_modifier Control="Off"/>
</define>

Snappy,

Nope, same as before, I get a NumLock. I mean, when I enter Ctrl+/ I end up with the Numlock icon character showing and I get numbers and symbols when I hit any key, as usual before keyhelper.

So, looked more carefully.  When I enter my Fn key into the GUI (the control for the sl5500) I get F22 in the K box and ffff in the U box.   Not sure what that means, but does that info help?

Maybe I need to remap F22 to be Control?  Wierd as my Z knows it's a control..  

So I tried using F22 instread of Control in the Modifiers section, and that totally made the GUI stop working even when I disabled khctl.  But I didn't use a line saying 'Release Key ' because I didn't know what to put there and I don't have any official function keys on this keybooard to my knowledge.

What does the <Release key=...> line do?

Thanks,
sdjf
