Vijay555 - how to set a right SHIFT key?

Hi Vijay, I try your keypress utility on my Universal. However, have problems setting a "shift" key on the videocall hard botton. I changed the value to 16 according to the keylist. Any advice on this? Thanks.

stanip: this should be moved to the VJKeyPress thread...
VJKeypress can be used to simulate a key press, but for shift, it's like on your pc, just pressing shift and releasing. It won't do anything. I imagine what you want to do is simulate pressing and holding shift, to make CAPITALS. It doesn't do that.
I did make a set of programs to do this, pressing and holding shift, ctrl and alt, but I didn't release them because Tom Hiro's PQz came along and is an amazingly useful program. Try Tom's PQz, and if you get really stuck I'll see about releasing my app. Mine works usefully on non Universals as well, eg Magician (my main phone), but there are issues with the way the Operating System responds to having these keys held down, so it wasn't worth finishing off at the time.

Vijay, PQz is a great tool but I failed to find any feature to set a "shift" key for capital letters... Have been looking for this as I use Word quite often. The right shift key will save me the thumb stretch reaching out to the other side. Thanks.

stanip: it might be worth asking Tom to add any features you want, he's actively updating it seems!
I will look into the Shift key issue again, but I'm a bit busy on a few other projects. It might happen soon if I can get it out.

Vijay, already suggested to Tom... believe he is prioritizing it. Initially thought the keypress could solve this one faster.
It would be great if yours could help with this request.

Remapping D-Pad while on Phone screens

I've been searching for a while for a re-mapper/utility that will remap the d-pad to move around the numbers while on the Phone screen. Currently the D-pad does nothing while you're in the Phone dialing or call screen. It would make the Wiz into a great one-handed device if I can get the D-pad to move around the on-screen numbers pad. The center button can emulate pressing of the on-screen numbers. This way I can use one hand to enter the phone number and not having to use use my hands or the stylus while on-the-go.
I know I can slide out the keyboard but are you able to slide the KB out with 1 hand and use the number keys? I tried and it's VERY awkward and you'll have to remember to press the dot twice to enable the numbers. I'd rather not do that in a time of emergency.
Any one has tried to make this happen? Is there an app out there which will do this? This plus smartkeys/smallmenu will make the Wiz the ultimate one-handed device.

Anyone? am I the only one with a Wiz wishing for this function? I guess people like touching the screen with their hands more than I thought...

I would really be interested in something that could achieve this. I have my K-JAM in a PDAir case and being able to simply dial numbers with the keypad would be great. Rather than scroll through the contact list or opening the cover to access the keypad.

On Himalaya the D-pad had function in the dialer to get to call history and speed dial. That would help too.

I want that too!! Like was in my Magician...

hi all,
A cool Japanese Freeware called FakeCursor does this. It doesn't tab between fields, but emulates a Dpad controlled 'mouse'.
There is a program called AEKmap that allows you to remap the keyboard.
I have attached several layouts I made for the Phone and Calculator for use with AEKmap. (2 of the layouts work in AEKmap free mode, the other 6 require $20 activation to avoid NAG screen.)
Joeman
btw on my qtek9100 the keyboard is automatically in number mode while in the phone application. I don't need to push the blue dot twice.

I'd just as soon se a remapper that brought back the WM 2003SE phone functionality (right - Call Histtoey, left - Speed dial, etc.)
It's a shame M$ took that out in WM5

*One WM5 developer*
"I got an idea. Let's make our new phones LESS functional. That'll give us a leg up on the competition."
*Everyone else there*
"BRILLIANT!!!"
:roll:

Did anyone create an aek file for mapping the alfa keys of the hardware k/b to the phonepad values.
ie: pressing a, b or c generates the code that is recognized by smartdialer (and interpreted as a, b or c respectively)
This way we can use the h/w keyboard letter-keys in the smartdialer!
This is especially handy when youre using the Wizard in your car in the landscape brodit holder (on-screen 'keys' are simply too small to be used safely)

it would be very cool.
wonder if Water can extend SmartyKeys for that - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41060

Using hardware keyboard for T9 contacts lookup

If the hardware keyboard is open, from the Today screen my Vario II opens the phone application and does T9 lookup ONLY for the letters that are assigned to a number key, i.e. press dot+(1-0) and it gives you the choice of using the inputted number or inputted letter but press any other letter or dot+letter and the phone application doesn't open. Actually, scratch that if I press either W or X (no dot) it also opens the phone application and T9's contacts with those letters. But no other letters do this.
Anyone get this behaviour, or know how I can get it to automatically open the phone app and T9 contacts for any letter on the hardware keyboard?

I also have just noticed if I press the W or X key whilst on the Today Screen it automatically opens the phone application and uses smart search for a name begiinging with W or X.
No other key does this though.
Anyone else find that there Tytn Variant does this?

My HTC TyTN with latest Cingular ROM does.

OK, so that would seem to mean it is part of the WM5 ROM. So how can we get it to do this for all letters, or rather why do only w and x (and the numbers) work?

Question to PQZII users

Hi,
I'm using PQZII on my Universal since several monthes and I find it very useful for pda with keyboards...but it's not necessary to say...
I find taskbar icon useful to indicate ctl or alt pressed key. But I would change the background of that icone and turn it transparent. Then I'll see only ctl or alt when pressed and that square icon on my taskbar. I tried several habitualy used colors for icon's background (255 and so...) but none was the good one.
Any idea to help me?
Thanks for replies and ...thanks for PQZII for existing )

Wat's this PQZII

PQZII is the application that allows to emulate ctrl and alt keys on a keyboard pda phone... There are some treads on it on the forum...
Here is one...

Can I change the IE button on keyboard also .

Maybee, have a try on it, it's a freeware. On the website of the developper, there is a small app wich can give you the code of any pushed key on the keyboard. Knowing that code, you can assign any fonction or launch program or link to a key with its code. So, maybee, it's possible...

Solved Morph Gear button maping Problem.

Hi,
I had problems to map hardware keys ( slider keys ) with Morph Button.
Every time I mapped a button it show the key code 229.
I read the post Key Assign Problem (Morphgear+PocketGBA) ,
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425646&highlight=morphgear ) here at XDA Dev.
It seems the HTC Touch Pro have the same Problem.
After few hours I solved the problem.
All you need to do is:
1.
- Go to button setting in Morph Gear.
- before click the assign button press and hold the Strg key
- then you can enter the hardware key you want
now you can play by holding Strg and the mapped keys
2-
- go to global menu in Morph Gear
- in the submenu Input: click Polling Method
now it works
But in Genppc 1.09 I still can not configure keys.
Hope this helps somebody
Sorry for my english

Strg key?
Hi Bub3d
Sorry to be a dunce but can you clarify what you mean by the "Strg key"?
Thanks
andrew-in-woking

The left key in the last row.

Better known as Ctrl to us non german keyboard users.
However, this doesnt work on my dutch pro 2.

That is the great news for me, I have looked for it for a long time. Thank you very much!!!

I'm sure there is a way to play without holding down the Ctrl (Strg) key all the time. I did it before I just don't know how I did it. Can somebody help me out?

Just remove eT9.
Button Mapping will work with all emulator and games now, like on my old Hermes.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409]
"Layout Text"="COMP IME"
"Ime File"="compime.dll"
Hope it helps.

Worked perfect! thanks a million. Thank god cause without multi-touch, mario is near impossible to play with the touch-screen!!!

What does STRG stand for?

What were the original registry values for enabling eT9? Can someone check for me, please?

I have a sprint touch pro 2 and did the above and i still can't map keys in morph gear. Can someone post the eT9 string that i deleted so i can put it back??? Also what does deleting this do???

Not working on my Sprint Touch Pro 2 either.... any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I solved the Sprint TP2 morphgear button mapping issue. When you go to map the keys, click the little "..." to bring up the "request button to map" pop-up.
Now, click on the bottom center of the screen to bring up the keyboard. When the keyboard is up, next to that same icon is an upwards arrow. Click that and it will give you input methods. It might be on something like "Full QWERTY", but change this to "Keyboard". You should now see a virtual keyboard different from the usual one. This maps perfectly to the slide out keyboard. Use the virtual keys to do the mapping, use the slide out to play.

dont forget to set polling methot or else it wont work
srry for my english

For the record, this also works for Tilt 2 and is my preferred solution.
No need to edit registries. Also, you don't have to hold Ctrl to play nor disable eT9, which brings other problems like not being able to edit the eT9.*.txt keymapping text files.

How do you prevent the "Input Mapping" window from disappearing when you bring out the virtual keyboard? Everytime I click on the bottom center virtual keyboard button, the "Input Mapping" window disappears and then the keyboard shows up. It's like the chicken before the egg scenario!
