no special characters are issued from laptop keyboard about androidscreencast HOT 7 OPEN

Is not well documented
I figured out by mistake how to deal with this

for example you want to write ? sign
instead of press shift + </,?> key
you must press shift , release shift and then press </,?> key

hope this will help somebody 

I found the press/ release shift key combination (expected really as that's 
what you do 
on the phone keypad).

However I'm still not able to access the @ symbol which as you can expect is a 
bit of a  
PITA.

Otherwise it works brilliantly!

for English keyboard is easy
the shift key work somehow like French caps-look or like sticky shift

for @ sign 
1. press <shift> key
2. in the next moment release <shift> key
3. press <2> key 

you'll have @

Not for me. Tried that (although was thinking of american keyboards!) but I get 
"

pay attention on the active settings on phone
if on phone for example you have german key settings and on computer US

and you will provide from computer
1. press <shift> key
2. in the next moment release <shift> key
3. press <2> key 

you'll receive "
instead of @

Mine are both set to UK. The @ symbol does not work.
Pressing the shift key, I can see the cursor change, there is nothing when I 
press the 
'/@ key.

All other symbols work fine. I've tested:
!"$%^&*()

Oddly enough £ produces # and # produces nothing (same as @)

Although pressing and releasing shift key is a workaround for special chars, it 
does not let me to type accents like áéíâçÁÉÇ, etc.
