Setting a network with KSM is only of limited use. The cause of this is that I used only those means that were already available in KSM. One shortcoming is that one can only type a very restricted set of characters (0-9, a-z, A-Z) into the password input mask.

I can think of several ways to improve this situation and mention two:

One could write a new input mask (and everybody is invited to do this).
One could define some substitution codes for additional characters, so that one would type, e.g., "CCC" and afterwards replace "CCC" by a comma. See the spoiler:
Spoiler:
In /adds/kbmenu/scripts_intern/wifi/wifi_ap_scan.sh insert after the line
Code:
```
pw1=$($bouncer)
```
something like
Code:
```
pw1=${pw1//CCC/,}
pw1=${pw1//DDD/.}
pw1=${pw1//EEE/!}
pw1=${pw1//QQQ/?}
pw1=${pw1//SSS/;}
```
For instance, if your password is "my;password", you would type "mySSSpassword" instead.
