I had suggested:
T> Quicker way to enter an apostrophe on a 520, 920, or W1: left parenthesis
T> from the remote, scan left (to move the cursor back over the parenthesis),
Guess I should have said "under the parenthesis."
T> search left or AMS left (to change the character), and finally scan right
T> (to position the cursor for the next character).
Clay responded,
V> You know what? That is considerably faster than the way I was doing it.
V> Thanks!
De nada.
V> How often does anyone out there use a question mark or exclamation point
V> in a title? Sony needs to rethink what punctuation marks they provide on
V> the remote, I think. Also a shift key would be nice, rather than having
V> to select uppercase to capitalize just one [letter] and then selecting
V> lowercase again.
I do use question marks but rarely exclamation points; the choices and the
shifting setup were surely made by people not really very familiar with
idiomatic English.
T> I have an RM-D20P titling keyboard.
V> What is this and where do I get one? I assume it has a more conventional
V> keyboard layout...?
It has a QWERTY layout for the alphabet, but a lot of the punctuation marks
are in non-traditional places. And it still has the capital mode and lower-
case mode mentality, but the switch between them is pretty fast. There are
separate keys for every digit and every available punctuation mark. (It also
does one of the Japanese syllabaries, please don't ask me which one.)
It's from Sony Japan and you have to get it through an importer; I bought
mine through MDN back in January.
