Has anybody worked out if the keyboard has a Ctrl key or a function that works like Ctrl , handy when quitting apps eg Ctrl Q.
Or editing.
I couldnt find it when I used the device.
Cheers
That's very strange because I have it on my MDA II's touchscreen keyboard. Are you talking about the touchscreen keyboard that you have to pop up by pressing the up arrow in the lower right-hand corner in the Messages app for instance?
I wonder whether this feature would also be ROM-dependent.
i meant the hard keyboard not sip. its on sip but when i used the universal i couldnt see it.
Yes I am interested in the Ctrl button on the universal as well, I owned a XDAIIs and found the keyboard on that didn't have the Ctrl key either so you can't do CUT/COPY or paste unless there is another way. I cut and paste heaps so the keyboard was useless to me on the XDAIIs.
Any one know if there is another way to do this on the Universal Keyboard.
what a wind up this is, cant believe they missed the ctrl button off the proper keyboard.
The keyboard has Cut/copy/paste function, so I am happy.
Jasjar is the most awesome PPC Phone yet.
there is a screen tap key (a bit like the right mouse click key on a full computer) this brings up the menu option, with copy and cut in it !! then you can just pres the relevant letter on the keyboard, thus having the same effect (ie press a function key then C or T or V).
PS its Fn [Space] key
cool... i wondered what that key did! that is useful!
[ctrl] is used for more things than copy+paste.
I use my Exec to communicate with *NIX servers using Pocket PuTTY. [ctrl] is kind of essential.
Agree, using putty is a nightmare without a ctrl key. Is there any way of mapping another key to do the same function
I am gutted the Universal dosn't have a Ctrl key. For linux admin it is essential, plus i love to copy/paste.
Is there a way in which I can map a key to carry out the Ctrl function.
I can live without the IE or text message key

some of my keyboard doesn;t correspond to what the been printed?
any chance to remap it?
That's some excellent question. I know I saw a prg for the PDA2K.. but not for the JJ. I would love to Remap the 'SYM' keyboard button to CTRL or ALT... I know there's a program that may simulate certain keys.. but you need a way to MAP the keyboard button to execute it (i think..mm)
The PQz program does this (and more) very nicely!

Sorry this is rattling my brain. Is there an easy way to copy and paste using a keyboard shortcut? Using the stylus doesn't always work and searching on most sites for 'copy paste' is a bad idea.
I know you can use ctrl + c, but we don't have the ctrl key. Can we remap this?
Use PQz, PHM Key tools or VJKeyPress.

thank you very much, it's exactly what i wanted to use.
Hello.
I cant found any "CTRL" key both in software and hardward keyboard.
Anyone who knows the shortcut key for COPY & PASTE action?
I think this is a basic function of h/w keyboard.
Thanks!
can you make screenshut from your keyboard?
Anyhow you can use phmkeys tool for copy and paste shortcuts.
i've given up on this issue, and use the TouchPal soft keyboard to do copy-and-paste.
