Subject: Emulator hardware keyboard mapping table?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Hi all,

Now that the emulator seemingly supports using the computer's physical 
keyboard in a more generic way, I have experimented a bit to try to get 
it to fully work. Specifically, I'd like to enter the ������ characters 
without having to longpress A or O to get the popup menu and some 
fiddling seems to indicate that this should be possible: Under "Physical 
keyboard" int he emulator I can select "Swedish - Android keybard" which 
for some reason has the title "qwerty2" - it indicates that pressing 
Ctrl-Space should toggle between those that I've enabled, that doesn't 
work, but is no big deal really.

However, it seems that the mapping table is broken since when I press 
"<" I get ";" and shifted "," gives me "�" while "'" gives me "�". 
Interestingly, if I switch my keyboard mapping of my laptop to be 
standard English US, the emulator will indeed generate the correct 
Swedish keys! (Well, not quite 100%, but all the important ones anyway)

This is OK as a workaround, but I'd say it is on the inconvenient side. 
Is there any way I can create a correct mapping table? The emulator 
-keyset help file was the closest thing I could come up with, but it 
seems to work on a different level. I'm happy to experiment and provide 
whatever I find out back to the sources as long as I can get a pointer 
to where I should start...

BTW: I'm on Linux (Ubuntu) in case that makes any difference.

		Many thanks in advance / Jonas
