For what purpose?


RE: Newbe question: keyboard layout - kas_27_es - 28th Jan, 2013 09:12 PM

I'm trying to write some movies titles in XBMC.

Some special characters (like á, ó...) are not available, so I can't search in Spanish Sad

Owk, i'm not sure if that's related to the unix locales or something inside XBMC.


RE: Newbe question: keyboard layout - kas_27_es - 28th Jan, 2013 09:27 PM

The main problem is that it does not match the distribution of physical keyboard keys with what I write on the screen:

For example: in the Spanish keyboard, the character "(" is in the key of "8" (shit +8 = "(")...

It's very difficult to write something Sad

Try searching google on how to set locales.

Thanks a lot.

I'll try that solution...


RE: Newbe question: keyboard layout - kas_27_es - 29th Jan, 2013 06:27 PM

I've found this: http://forum.xbian.org/thread-117.html?highlight=console

I'll try replacing "de" with "es"...

That solution requires additional packages that probably aren't needed when you just try to change the locale.

Oh, yes I've read that post probably I didn't wrote the correct subjet.

I think that's what I need.
