[maemo-users] pipe character on n810

[From: Thomas Armagost]

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) ....

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

Tallyho,
