I a desktop PC you can go CTL C and CTL V to copy and paste, or CTL X to cut via the Windows clipboard.
Has this functionality been lost In WM5.
IF so is there a third party tool that can do this.
I so tired I typing the same text over and over again.

I had been there, but wasnt sure that this does the basic COPY and PASTE via a clipboard.
I see it does create CTL and ALT keys, but does it the clipboard function ?
You can use the keyboard shortcuts using the pop-up keyboard. Try it out in notes.

Yup. it enables copy, cut, paste, select all and it even has a historical clipboard so you can copy multiple text items and then paste them later. It does so much more though, it's an excellent task manager, program launcher, app closer, etc. I think it's one of the most useful apps, it really sets the user free of the stylus.
i just use the pop up keyboard for cut copy and paste.

There's no ctrl key on the Universal. Use PQz instead.
VJKeypress can do copy and paste, although PHM Key Tools is better.

You should give PQZII a try which Vijay reffered to. Not only can you ctrl C&V but you can assign almost anything to a key press (or two). It's free and quite possibly the best software I've got. Google to find it or search on this site.

Ditto, it's the one app I can not live without.
It does much more than just enable Ctrl C/V. It also enables other keyboard short cuts (ctrl + arrow for page up/down), app and or document launcher, task manger (Alt+tab style like from windows!), task closer, paste in custom text or text previously copied (clipboard), more speed dial options, etc...
thanks for the replies
i did a search for pqz and came up with this link
http://www.nicque.com/PQz/
is it this file
PQzII_20060411_0006_WM2005.zip?
To use Copy /Paste function, I'm use virutal small keyboard.

yeah that's the file. Just unzip it into program files and run pqzII. Then click on the blank icon on the task bar and configure
In HTC home plug, I can set one of the soft buttons on the launcher to "launch programs folder". Is there a way to map this function to a hardkey? I don't want to download a third party launcher--I just want to be able to press a button and open the programs folder (and not in the file explorer view).
Any help would be wonderful.
Another folder in which I could put shortcuts in would also work. I just want the icons large and finger friendly like the programs folder.
Is it possible to use folderview.exe to do this?
Check here for the solution...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1644004&postcount=7
I used this to create a shortcut in each and every sub folder under Programs so once in a sub folder, I can easily go back to the Programs folder without having to close the window and open the Programs again from the HTC Home App.
I called the shortcut '!Back to Programs.lnk' so it appeard at the beginning of every folder and the shortcut is setup as follows...
Code:
53#\Windows\folderview.exe #?\Windows\shellres.dll,-8208
Copy the above into simple binary text editor and save to have your shortcut.
I guess you wouldn't need the '53#' and '?\Windows\shellres.dll,-8208' bits to link to hardkey. This is more to give the shortcut a nicer icon in the folder view.
Been looking for this. google search "launch programs folder" found this thread. Ought just be a 'icon view' option in file explorer dontcha think? Thanks!
Hmmm... it's not doing quite what I'm after...
As the FolderView is an application, when you click the X in the top right corner, it closes the window. If you were in the 'Start' => 'Programs' folder and were in a sub folder, pressing the OK button would simply return you to the previous folder.
I counter acted this by adding a shortcut to the FolderView app in every folder as mentioned above but for some reason this no longer works correctly. I think it has something to do with the HTC Task Manager I have upgraded to (v 2.0.30995). Works better than previous version but for this one thing, I think it's stopping multiple instances of the FolderView app.
So, this brings me to... How can you load the Programs Folder so you can go back from a sub folder?
Can anyone hack the FolderView app? A simple 'Up' button could be added to the lower left of the window, similar to the view of File Explorer. This way, the X can still be used to close the FolderView App and the 'Up' button takes you back up the Programs list.
In case your wondering, I have various apps loaded on my Pocket PC and have categorised them and placed into sub folders. I've then created an icon association to each folder so it looks a little more pleasent when viewing. However, I want to freely browse the folder. See attached Tumbnail...
the link works on sprint touch. I call it "_Up" so it always appears at first position.
I note that folderview when you close it doesn't appear in task menu like file explorer and most other app.
folderview with some options would be great because it's a fast finger friendly interface ... must faster and easier to configure than various cubes.
ps
I came across this in another thread. I haven't tried it yet but I'm gonna take a look when I get a chance.
Possibly it could be used to add some features to folderview:

I'm glad I stumbled across this thread because I think it's exactly what I want to do...I just need a little help as I'm not as savvy as some of you guys might be.
What I'm wanting to do is create sub directories in my programs folder like viglante_xix does (grouping Office, GPS Programs, Media Programs, etc.) and point to it as a shortcut in rlToday. I think I might have been able to figure this out on my own after tinkering, but I don't have the folderview.exe in my windows dir. Can someone send me a copy or know of an alternative?
Also, I'm not completely ignorant to programming; I know a little VB, Java, and C++. I understand how the code above works, but what program do I use to make this shortcut...preferably something free.
Thanks in advance.
everyone knows how to select more than one file on a Windows PC (either hold shift or Ctrl whilst clicking your mouse). How in the heck do I do this in Total Commander on a Diamond???
Also, is there a way for the stylus to do a click&drag to select multiple files?
ugh, my apologies, this is probably a misplaced thread... Didn't realize I was in the "apps" subfolder.
hold your stylus over the first file then drag down to select all the files, tap and hold and the copy button will pop up
wow, that works but there is a TON of lag on my phone before the "selection box" actually shows up on the screen and highlights the files. Is that normal?
How do you select multiple files that are not grouped together? (or unselect individual files in a group selection)?

Pretty instantaneous on mine but I think mine has a few enhancements.
If you use Total Commander there is a Ctrl function on the toolbar.
or if you use the normal HTC full keyboard you can use the 'Ctrl' button just like Windows desktop

Yes, even CTRL-V (paste) works. Within some programs the paste functionality doesn't work, so this is very convenient.

wow, I'm a total bonehead. I use Total Commander and have never noticed that Ctrl button at the bottom! That's awesome, thanks.
PS. After posting, I noticed that the lag only occurs in \Windows directory on my phone... probably 'cause there are so many files there. The lasso is speedy in other directories.
Hi
Can anyone please tell me how to select more than one file in file explorer?
If there is no scroll down on the screen, it is so easy just to touch and slide finger over files...
But when there are more files in the folder and it's not possible to show all of them on screen, sliding only scrolls down and doesnt select files...
I could fix that probles with editing files with computer, but that means I need to connect the device and pc everytime I would like to move photos from dcim folder to photos folder, for example...or I can just move one by one what is annoying and takes time...
Thanks
The default file explorer sucks, i think most people either use Resco Explorer 2010, or Total Commander which both allow a selection of multiple files.
I agree the best solution is to use a different file manager , just thought id mention if you use the swype keyboard in standard file manager you can tap sym three times to get to the arrows screen , click select text which should remain pressed and then the arrows will let you select multiple files.

I was thinking the same thing after a few days of purchase. As you mentioned, with a few files its easy but once its more than a screen can view, it loves to scroll and nothing else. In addition you cant copy / move files from the Windows folder as well, there are many reasons to not bother with the standard File explorer, i just use Resco File Exp as a few others have mentioned.
Atleast now i can select edit/invert selection etc to highlight certain files.
The only way to do this with File Explorer is to use a SIP with proper selection tools. The original WinMo keyboard had a Ctrl key but thats gone now.
I use TouchPal which has a 'Select' button in the toolbox, after which the direction arrows perform the multiple selections.
hi,
am having trouble copy pasting text between programs (an rss reader and email for example) and was wondering if anyone had an idea why. the rss reader will let me copy the text but when i get to the email there is no option to paste.
thanks for your help
Touch the screen where you want to paste and hold until a menu pops-up with paste as an option.
it's a third party app but very good
download fingerkeyboard 2.1 from here on xda
it's a very nice keyboard in which you can assign things to.
if you press shift you have the option to undo/cut/copy/paste etc and it works everywhere youre allowed to bring up the keyboard
hope this helps
