[maemo-developers] Input method questions

[From: Marcin Juszkiewicz]

I have N810 with OS2007.50.2 installed.

During last week I tried to get Polish keymap for hardware keyboard. Used 
ukeyboard by Jiri Benc with my fast-hacked Polish keymaps. But it was not 
what I wanted to get.

I can live with English on-screen keyboard as it gives Polish national 
chars on accents subpages. But to have Polish hardware keyboard I need to 
have also Polish onscreen keyboard (according to that how I undestand 
documentation). So I created one, compiled with vkb compiler and put on 
device. 

For hardware keyboard I created one which use Compose (Chr) key to enter 
national chars. But on N810 Compose key is already intercepted for all 
national chars...

So questions time:

1. How to edit list of national chars so with my keymap (or my package so 
postinst script magic can be) Chr+o will be "ó" (and then rest of 
national keys if repeated)?

2. Will there be a way to use additional keymaps for hardware keyboard 
without replacing Control Panel -> Regional settings with ukeyboard one?

3. Will there be a way to select more then one layout for hardware 
keyboard? With onscreen something like that is possible.


Why, why N810 has two LShift keys instead of LShift and RShift...
