Has any research been done into whether the keys listed in the Symbols on-screen keyboard can be changed? The first row of symbols can be activated using the number keys on the hard keyboard. I'd like to move semicolon up to the first row and replace one of the rather less useful smiley-faces, as there is no longer an Fn-key combo to quicky type a semi as there was on the xv6800.
Because there's a hard key to bring up the symbols pad, that'd get me back to two keystrokes for a semicolon, far better than one keystroke + hunting around in the symbols keyboard.

Hi,
Is it just me or is it my phone specifically or is it the Stock 6.1 Sprint ROM is defective. When I used the slide out keyboard and press the Sym key (5th from left on the bottom row of keys) nothing happens. If I press Fn and the Sym key, the web browser starts. but why don't I get a symbols pop-up?
Anyone? Help?
Please and thank you.
I recently purchased the poseidon A8. It has a hardware keyboard so i removed the software keyboard. I then noticed that the hardware keyboard doesn't have a comma key. Where the comma key should be they have a % symbol. Is there a way to remap the keys to replace the % symbol with a comma?
Thanks in advance.
This should be technically possible, but why not just use the software keyboard (get it back or get a new one)?
Hi,
I have Swype keybord with only period key on my SGS3, so when i want to write comma, I must long press period key, this is very annoying (picture 1). On my old SGS2 was Swype keyboard with two separate keys, one for comma and one for period (picture 2). Is here any way to enable two separate keys for comma and period on SGS3? Swype language is CZECH (QWERTZ). Thanx and sorry for my poor english.
You don't have the swype keyboard. You have the Samsung keyboard with some swype features built in.
I too miss the extra characters and the arrow keys stuff you have in swype, so have installed the beta. But it now does have an issue with being shorter in height than the standard keyboards, by about one third.
If you install the beta, once activated it may show on screen the first time really really small; just flip to landscape then back to portrait and it will be better.
So I'm not sure if this is a possibility but I was curious if there's a way to remove all the accented letters that appear when you long press on a letter?
I usually long press certain keys to get commas, question marks, etc, and on certain keyboards (depending on the rom) it seems they've more recently started including all the accented keys and I have swipe to the punctuation I want, instead of just long pressing. This may seem trivial (mostly because it is!) but it's just a personal preference and I'd like to see if it was possible.
I miss the 4.1.2 keyboard for the easy ability to long press on a key for the corresponding symbol. I dont like hitting the symbol key just to get the choice of symbols to pop up. Anyobe have the old keyboard apk I can install. or suggest a different keyboard. I haven't found a keyboard with the symbol under each key and a seperate line for numbers.
The new swiftkey beta has the long-press symbol under each key as well as dedicated number row that has to be enabled under the options.
