Before I begin, I just want to point out that I've read the suggestions at these 2 topics here:

Ok, so basically I'm running MiniCM7-2.1.9 and I want to get the Symbol key to work. Right now, pressing the Symbol key doesn't bring up the Symbols menu, it just emulates the blue number key instead.
After following the suggestions at the 2 topics I posted above, I did manage to get Symbol key to work, but I don't like the layout of the "Default" input keyboard. I want the "Android keyboard" layout, while still able to use the Symbol key.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
You can't... Sym key only works on SE Default Input keyboard.

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'm just wondering what does symbol lock do? Found under the locale & text menu in settings.
I've tried turning it on or off and then typing but not noticed any difference, so what does it do?
when it is turned off, if you are typing and press the "12#" button to select a symbol, it automatically jumps back to the standard letters keyboard after the symbol is pressed. When symbol lock is on (default) it stays on teh symbols keyboard till you press "ABC"
Is there a keyboard out with an Alt key or something like that to make symbols like on pc keyboard?.. for example, holding alt+0187 gives you ยป symbol. thanks.
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.
