[K3] Hardware keyboard localization

Now it's possible to localize physical K3 keyboard. Currently my hack supports Russian layout, but it's easy to map your own characters to hardware keys.

*Installing*. This hack installs as any other hacks. First of all you must install Jailbreak and then this hack.
During installation it places new Booklet to Kindle, creates new keyboard directory at userstore and places keyboard.txt file inti it.
Keyboard.txt has key bindings. It must be in UTF-8 format only!

*How to use* Simply switch layout by pressing Shift+Space

*Simple European mode*
Now it's not needed to switch layout to enter European character like Ě,Š,Č,Ř,Ž etc...
After install, place keyboard_european.txt into keyboard folder and restart Kindle.
Now you can enter Ě by typing Shift+E+E (ie 'EE') to enter ě enter e, Shift+E (ie 'eE'). To enter EE or eE as is, simply do not hold Shift when typing letter.
Currently European key mappings are:
Code:
EE=Ě
SS=Š
CC=Č
RR=Ř
ZZ=Ž
YY=Ý
AA=Á
II=Í
UU=Ú
TT=Ť
DD=Ď
NN=Ň
LL=Ĺ
oO=ó
eE=ě
sS=š
cC=č
rR=ř
zZ=ž
yY=ý
aA=á
iI=í
uU=ú
tT=ť
dD=ď
nN=ň
lL=ĺ
