/ M- f A) ?/ _8 bAt the simplest level then, creating an on-screen keyboard requires editing the alternate characters table json, to add the "regular" charcters to it, and then when you want a keyboard, press SYM and poof, a keyboard./ a7 z0 j9 t9 H! T4 I# B2 e

Update: 8/04/09 I have been editing widget_charselector.js, and no changes have occurred, can be deleted, and still no changes occur, it does not control sym in the least bit -Joesmith |
