Did some tinkering with bro Antyong's gtt file a while ago, and after a few 'experiments' I've managed to pack some more keys onto the mfm keyboard. I actually managed to put 12 keys in a row, but then the individual keys get a wee bit too small.
If you want to add more keys, just add more characters to the character string
. But I still can't figure out how to 'align' the rows so that the rows have slight offset like a true QWERTY keyboard.

I think ..... it depends on total number of key.
Try 43, 42 and 41 keys layout see how it works.

I've tried adding / removing one character at a time at the beginning and/or end of character string, but they're all
one character wide. So, either you get an additional blank tile (like
scrabble) or you remove one. What I need is half a tile!
BTW, if you go to Settings >> System, you cannot toggle the Keyboard Layout anymore (QWERTY <-> ABCDE).

Hi,
Is there any way I can install to my nuvi 680? Don't seem to have any text folder. Thank you.
