I like to emulate the stylus select and hold with the device keyboard. How can I do it?
I don't know about the keyboard, but you can assign a hardware key to show the context menu, or use VJKeyPress I think.

how about "Fn + Space" ??
Is there Fn key on Wizard?
buzz
there isn't an "FN" key but there is a key with a dot on it that works as an "FN" key would. And i just tried it and space, along with enter and ok and no luck.
I'm the only one that like to open the context menu with the device keyborad? :lol:
I hold the central button of the d-pad to do that.
Not so far the keyboard...

I lost it. My keyboard - on the JAM does not show me the "caps" key anymore.
Do you still have Keyboard?
if yes go to settings select input and select,
small keys ,now your keyboard should have a caps lock key
have a nice day
Cool ! Got it.
What did you mean by "do I still have keyboard ?"
Should I replace it with something ?
Caps-lock is double tap on the shift key, right?
Use Resco keyboard
Hey guys,
is there a way to reassign the hardkeys home and back?
I also have an item "Buttons" in the settings but there is only one key defined: "Key 1 (Hold), Voicedial settings".
However, I can't find this button, where is it?
It's the first button i.e phone pickup, hold it and it will give you the voice dial
Key 1 is the dial key (far left).
You can reassign the back key with AE Button Plus. I'm not sure that you can remap home.
use AE Button Plus to reassign the keys, words great on my touch hd. I read somewhere that Home button is not supported due to different driver implemented by HTC
Thanks for your replies.
I'm aware of AE Button Plus but the interesting thing is the reassignment of the home key.
I wanna keep the back key as it is and assign an ok/close task to the home key because the end call button actually does the same thing as the home button namely go back to the today screen when you have a running application in foreground.
In AEB+ I have the following:
Button 1 (hold)
Windows Key
Enter/Action
Volume Up
Volume Down
Green Phone Button
Red Phone Button
Left Softkey
Right Softkey
Up Arrow
Down Arrow
Left Arrow
Right Arrow
I can access the volume up and down keys but which key is the back key?
I assume the green and red phone button is pickup and hangup key respectively?
Is there a way to access the power key at the top?

The back key is "Enter/Action".
It seems that the home key as well as the power key cannot be reassigned.
Back and home key can be reassigned on a window by window basis in the registry. Not particularly useful, but better than nothing.

What exactly needs to be done in the registry to reassign the home key?
Even if I have to enter a new registry key for any program window I might use it is worth the effort (at least for me).

I just want to update:
the back key is not the "Enter/Action" key. i have tried to edit this button and it didn't remap to the Back key.
If you go to File -> Add Button, and tap the Back key, it will recognize the key as button #405C. I have remapped it to "Close Active Application" and it worked.
i don't think u can reassign the Home key as AE Button Plus cannot access the Home key.
I was also unable to change the Home key in AEBplus.
Concerning the back key assignment with AEBplus, I was trying to assign something to the long press but unable to get it working. No problem for single press and double press.
Anyone has better luck?

Power Key
Here's the modified power key from Diamond but it can be used on HD.
When Power key on long-pressed, it will display the menu for choice. Tested.
Regards,
KCJ
just tested on Aeplus 2.6.6.1, the Back key = the Ok key, it can be remapped.
I have it set to:
Single press="Ok/Close"
Double press = S2U2
Long press=close active app
EDIT: Long press doesn't work... might try another method.
don't know if this works, but it is worth a try:
if you copy a shortcut to \Windows and name it "Short_Power.lnk" you can intercept the short power key press. at least that worked for me on my diamond.
you could try s.th. like "Short_Home.lnk" but that would intercept the "other home key" (which manages the cursor's position like end, up down, left, right, etc).
the magic would be to find the correct name of the key.
longpress back key (405C)
I know this is an old thread, but I haven't found yet a solution.
I'd like to be able to add longpress back key (405C) to the key menu on the windows config.
I've found the registry key that HTC uses to provide longpress send key, but I copied with no luck.
Anyone knows how to do it? vijay555 has said it's possible but never indicated how...
any ideas for configuring home key and backspace key ?
i've tried with AE Button, but it doesn't work claerly.
or maybe there are somewhere regkeys ?
i don't think, that this is hardcoded somewhere .... or ?
some ideas ?

As I know, the 'Home' key is not configurable in HD, not sure about the 'Back' key.

The "back" key is mapped as "OK button" in AEButtons, and can be configured. The home one seems to be almost impossible to do as said by AEB devver

the back key is not fully able to configure.
if you try to set : "left button" and then try the button always go to home screen and then "left button".
if you try it ex: under "programms" go to lnext left icon -> then it jumps back to "home" screen + left

well - i'm trying to find out how to map the keys on HTC Blackstone....
here is also a interesting link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3144390#post3144390
for now i know:
TOP:
Power Button can fully handled (short click + long click) via lnk file.
LEFT: (there are 2 buttons)
Can fully remapped via AEB Plus (1-,2-,3-short click, + long click).
BOTTON:
there are 4 buttons:
"Green Key",
-> mapping possible via AEB Plus,
but for long key you have to use: AEBPlus + Button: "Button1(Hold)" - don't ask me why, bnut it works on this way..)
"Home Key"
-> nothing possible !!!
"Back Key"
-> not really mapable (mapping possible, but always send to wanted mapping ~backspace and jump back to Homescreen and then the mapped button will execute - little bit strange ..)
Longpress also doesn't work
"Red Key",
-> mapping possible, but without Long Press
tried with aebutton also (last version)
some additional ideas ?

Am I blind or is there no ctrl key in the HD2 keyboards?
Also, how do I get the numpad kb? it shows by itself sometimes, when you can't 'select' it on purpose.?

You're right - there is no Ctrl key. You'll need a 3rd party keyboard if you want one.
To get the phone keypad, hold down the little arrow next to the keyboard deployment icon in the bottom bar. It's one of the options in there.
i have the EN(asian) rom, which doesn't have keypad option.
i tried re-enabling the builtin kb but it doesn't do anything, HTC has truly destroyed it.
where can i find "\" ? backslash
If you're using the on screen keyboard, press the SYM button, then the shift button, and it'll be where the / was before. if youre using the slide out keyboard, you have to press the SYM button and pick it from the list that pops up.

I do not see a backslash in the popup list. Do you?
on the hardware keyboard, press FN and long press the L key until the \ pops up.

And for all the others on the physical keyboard the fn button plus a long press of most symbols will bring up that menu like if you want [ ] you will hold the fn button and then hold the J or ( Key.
