Re: Is it possible to change language in the Slider Keyboard?
 

He istructed me in private. You need to install the hebrew pack. And then press Chr+a or any character it returns a hebrew character... and if you press Shift+Chr it locks on hebrew and you should be able to write in hebrew as any normal hebrew keyboard.

Re: Is it possible to change language in the Slider Keyboard?
 

I guess I have a bad install or have misunderstood you.
( Not that I need Hebrew, I thought this a good place to learn more about maemo's character system.)

Maybe you can give me a hint ?

I uninstalled Hebrew, reinstalled it, set 1st lang. to US-engl. and 2nd to Hebrew and rebooted.
Opened leafpad and stylus keyboard and could tap Hebrew.
I found no hardware keyboard Hebrew setting (?) and choose Engl.

Opened sliding keyboard, typed "Chr+a" and got an accented a.
Tried "Shift+Chr", no result.

So I must be missing something.
Any help would be welcome !

Re: Is it possible to change language in the Slider Keyboard?
 

Well that my problem too... But I thought it's only my problem and others don't have it. Sorry.

It should be writing in hebrew. So Matan instructed me to type the command in xterm:

setxkbmap -symbols nokia_vndr/rx-44-he he1

now try the Chr+A and etc (and Shift+Chr) and It'll work.

But the problem is that it should have been automatic through startup and it's don't...

And now I'm searching a way to put this command in startup that I wouldn't have to type it all the time...

Tell me if it's works for you too after typing the command.

@ Magnet

Thanks Magnet !!

That did it. On first try.
Same command --/rx-44 restored, almost; I had to reset to the scand. keyboard.
Funny detail, I first set 2nd lang. to Hebrew,
but after the first setxkbmap command the 2nd lang. was set to Swedish again.

So I shall have to read up on setxkbmap.

Apologies for my halfbaked hack suggestion, I had quite forgotten the right-to-left writing necessity !!


EDIT :

Played around a bit.
When mixing Swedish / Hebrew (no can read) I have to be careful about positioning the caret to make the text appear correctly on the screen.
Fn+key works, but toggles to/from fullscreen. Might be just my tablet, after my changing the rx-44 file a bit Fn+Backspace toggles so, as it shouldn't.

Re: language setting change above, I have to open the settings panel and click OK to make it apply.


Re: Command at start-up, no idea, but try "Personal menu" in the meantime.
You get an Icon to the left to click, which executes a (series of) command(s).
"setxkbmap -symbols nokia_vndr/rx-44-he he1 ; exit" worked.
Others on this forum recommend Personal Launcher.

Thanks for the tip... But it's very lame to always start it from Personal Launcher.... :(

I want to know how to get in right on startup...
