I'm finally beginning to appreciate the value of turning on and off ECO mode on my remote digis, as well as performing other remote functions. Really saves power.

This morning, while I was using my T-Deck Plus with GPS, I couldn't find an equal symbol to type the query

?EM=?

Is there a way on that keyboard to generate an "=" symbol? If not, is there a chance that one could be created?

Hey Ricardo - since there's no "=" sign on the T-Deck keyboard, could you change the "=" to a ":", or some other character that the T-Deck supports? At least the T-Deck has a ":" key.

I'm closing this as there's been no discussion or input from others. It's still an issue to me, but I can work around it by using my phone and BT.

It is still on my plans to add a shortcut or keyboard combination to allow the ":" to be used in T-Deck

let me finish a few more things to return to this
