Default [Patch request] Enable SYM key in enyo on webOS <3.x

SYM key does not work on enyo apps using webOS 2.x (perhaps 1.x).

@DataJog This is true. Sym key was handled by Mojo framework, not WebKit. Enyo would need patching to also handle it.
and:

Is there a way anyone could patch this?

It's most annoying for Pre2 (2.1) users in countries using special characters like germany where the often used umlauts can't be entered SYM+aous, this changed for Pre3 (or perhaps it's cause of 2.2) where the Umlauts are entered by OPT+auos

Shouldn't it be possible to press SYM in all apps and get the whole symbols menu to choose from?

Doesn't work in 2.2.4 either. I just tested.

@ahel76 @webosinternals The workaround is porting the Sym-handling code from Mojo to Enyo and providing a patch to the added-to-ROM version.
Sounds not that easy... HP fix this....

enyo is opensourced now, can anybody patch version 1.0 and enable SYM handling via patch?

There's a bit more to it. There's a topic on the webOS developer forums where it's discussed in some detail.
