    I have a bilingual keyboard on my 6920 and its really pissing me off. Whenever I'm trying to hit the left-shift key to type capitals I always end up hitting the |,\ keys. I remember reading somewhere about a fix to this (I think there was a program to reprogram keys, so I could make the |,\ be shift as well), but my search skills suck.


    Also, about the keyboard: I'm a fast typer and I notice I am dropping a lot of keys... I really have to concentrate on my typing for this not to happen. From what I know this is common with the 6920's?

    it seems the 6920's keyboard takes some getting used to,,, i have a 5315 and after 8 months i'm still dropping a few letters here and there... but i love it now.... just give it some time and concentrate,, before long it'll be second nature... (or i hope it will).

    as for the bi-lingual keyboard, i've no experience,,, maybe HOGGIE can shed some light... he is a wealth of knowledge... and our resident researcher...
