keyboard messed up, registry hacks??

Hi Forum,
I installed the japanese IME as it was discribed at another forum (http://www.firstloox.org/forums/showthread.php?s=c973622a044a5a4a87c1f6099f097d74&t=4510), and it seems to work almost perfect on my qtek 9100, new German ROM installed. Only problem: the program changes the keyboard settings, means that I can't use the symbol- key (function+space) any more, so ä, ü, ö, ', ... are gone. I already tried AEKMap, when downloading the German keyboard file, it doesn't show up within the program. I inserted a new string called "Locale" to the registry-settings at HKCU/ControlPanel/Keybd etc., as it was posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44489
-nothing helped. Do I miss something?? I will go to Japan next Saturday and desperately neeeeeed a Japanese IME- but also my German keyboard layout!
Greetings from Berlin,
Andreas

Hi again, some more information: It seems that the keyboard is working, the only thing which doesn't work is the "symbol"-key (the "blue dot + space"-combination). Does anybody know if there's something hidden in the registry how I can re-map it and get it back to work??
Thanks,
Andreas

There's a text file you'd need. You can easily create this yourself, though it might help to just find it somewhere.

Hi ZeBoxx,
doesn't work for me, unfortunately. As I said, the layout of the keyboard is ok, only thing is the missing function of the "symbol"-key. I played around with different keyboard settings, they all work ok BUT this symbol think doesn't. Any other ideas??
Andreas

Did you specifically read this last part?
Symbols List - Changing the symbols when using the Sym hardware key along with a regular key (select devices)
Change the Symbols List
To change the Symbols List simply find the file "\Windows\sym.txt", and edit + save this file. The structure of the file is pretty straight-forward:
On each line, type the regular letter or number for the key as it is when normally pressed. Follow that letter up with the alternative characters ('Symbols') in the order you wish for them to appear. For example, from a WWE ROM:
eèéêë
This will replace the letter 'e' when using the Sym key with 'è', then when striking the Sym key again with 'é', then 'ê', and so on.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Sure, but as I said, it's not the problem that this text file is wrong or anything- it seems that the symbol key doesn't work at all. No matter how many times I use this combination (blue dot + space), nothing changes, no effect on any letter/symbol/etc.
In the meanwhile I did a hard reset, installed all the apps again, same issue. I uninstalled the japanese IME, back to normal. I'm pretty sure that this prog changes some registry setting I need for the use of the symbol-key- I searched the whole registry, but since I'm not familiar at all with this I didn't find anything helpful...

got exactly the same problem. Searching Internet and all but I dont find any solution: there must be a registry entry enabeling it but where...

Yep, got the same problem. Finding it hard to search for relevant problems to do with this. Any help would be apprieciated.

copy and pasting key shortcut?

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.

Copy/Cut/Paste with HW Keyboard ??

Anyone knows how can I preform copy/cut/paste when using the hardware keyboard without going to the soft button in application that support that or using the stylus ?
I found that using the "Shift" with the right/left arrows will select the text but can't continue from here.
Thanks

Anyone ??? , It's annoying to get the stylus just for that when typing text....

Yah it would be nice to find a way to do this. Maybe someone can map copy/cut/paste to a keypress combinatiom?

I think VJKeyPress can emulate copy and paste, but the better solution is to use PHM's tools to emulate copy/paste. However, due to the fact that you're emulating a keypress (ctrl+c) while pressing another hardware key, from memory it used to confuse the system a little. But give it a go.

Remap T-Zones key on MDA Touch Plus to act like [Enter] key

I have searched the forum for one hour now - without success..
I would like to change the function of the T-Zones or Web'n'walk key on my MDA Touch Plus. I'd like to make it work like an [Enter] button. (like on XDA Star).
According to the informations here in the forum the key seem to activate a shortcut file - so one can just change the funktion to another application but not the [Enter] key..
I'm thankful for any idea?

*push*
Isn't there any trick modifying the registry or something like that?

Remapping CTRL to HW keyboard using AEKmap or any other good solution?

I want to remap the ctrl button to the HW keyboard. I did some searcing on it and found PQzII, but thats not the best solution in my opinion.
Is it possible to map it using AEKmap? I dont know if Im missing something on how it works or what, but I could not get it work with it...
Smarter ones please help...

have not yet managed to do that with AEKmap. Event talked to the programmer. Seems to be a problem with some eT9 files. you can try one of the T9 remover CABs he posts in the AEK FAQ. no luck yet here...something seems to already catch the keyboard input.

We need a real solution for this, its a huge handicap that there is no ctrl button. I have the TP too and I really want this to be fixed on the X1...

We need a fixxxxx.... This is beyond me that TP is the only device with CTRL... Insane...

well i dont think its that important. just use the touchscreen for copy and paste.

Cause I hate to have no CTRL key too, I've just made a remapping for Italian layout (I think it is usable with any layout cause it uses character code, layout independent) who makes you do CTRL+ANY_ALPHABETIC_CHARACTER by typing WIN+ANY_ALPHABETIC_CHARACTER (i.e. CTRL+C by typing WIN+C)
You can do any CTRL+ shortcut, from CTRL+A to CTRL+Z, cause some programs use more shortcuts than others, so I remapped all for any use you like or you need
You need the activated version (commercial one)
You need to type WIN and any key at the same time or type and keep typing WIN before the other key, I say that cause sometimes it seems that the program ignore your typing, train yourself and you'll find the right way to use it

thanks, but it doesnt work on mine
tried it with multikeyhook, still the same.
it just pauses the X1 for a second when i press any WIN+ combo

Just wondering why you think using PQII isn't a good way to map CTRL?
I'm currently using it and having no issues. Its memory footprint is quite small too.
