Copy/paste under hardware key?

I am using the smartkey program to hold the softkeys to enter startscreen.
Now I am looking for an option or a program to copy/paste and to put it under the message button.
Or does anybody knows a program that only gives the option to cut/copy/paste.
With this my phone would be perfectly tunned.

If the context menu of the program contains copy and paste, you can hold the center key of the 5-ways navigator to popup the context menu.

Hi Water,
Thanks, but not all programs have that option. That's why I like to have a program like that.
Right now i'm using Magicbutton but that doesn't have that function. GSMagic had it but I like Magicbutton better. So now I need the copy/past function.

You can try Xbar which is under the D-Pad. It opens up a screen in which you can select the running task but also shortcuts to programs of your liking and there are shortcuts ready for copy and paste and cut.

You can use PQz to map a hardware key (I use the Windows-key) to CTRL, so that you can use ctrl-c, ctrl-v etc.

I think... just speculating here.. that they are more looking for...
press button - it copies whatever is the active selection
press button again - it pastes whatever is on the clipboard
Not sure, though... ctrl+c / ctrl+v works with the SIP, with that tool it works with the hardware keyboard, and if you're working with the sip - and thus a stylus - you can often just tap-and-hold and choose copy from the context menu.

PHM Keys comes with cut copy paste.
Use a button mapper to do as ZeBoxx says, if it's what you need, and you'll have quick access to said functions.

Thanks,
I'm using PQZ now. With TAB as CTRL. WIN would not work together with smartkey, because hold button 1 is the same hex number as WIN.
But this program is realy good.

My Solution to this...
I have a slightly hacked up copy of PHM Keys (couldn't get it to install on my 8125, so I hacked it off of a WM2003 device) that I'm using to solve this problem.
In my Start Menu I have three icons - "Object Copy", "Object Cut", and "Object Paste" (PHM Keys) so whenever I have something highlighted I click my (smartskey modified) Start Menu soft button, scroll down a slot or three with the 5-way, and select the copy/cut/paste operation I need.
When the KB is open it's even quicker Start-o Start-b Start-j respectively. Another plus is this works in nearly EVERY situation where you can highlight something. Sometimes the other options (context menus, SIP kbds, etc.) don't work everywhere.
Now some may not want to waste three Start Menu slots, but I have Tray launch filled with my apps, still have 4 Start Menu slots available, and all my non-soft buttons are mapped to one app or another, so I'm cool with them.
Plus I have my SIP pop-up KB completely disabled (I hate it's "intrusiveness" and only use the HW KB in landscape mode) so in portrait mode I had *NO* way to copy/cut/paste and had to devise something.
Good Luck

I've updated VJKeyPress to add -cut, -copy, -paste.

How can i use a hardware key for Task Manager

I really would like to assign my "comm manager" button to the task manager for closing programs. How can i do this?
Thanks for any help you can give me

Start -> Settings -> Buttons ?

I tried that. unfortunately neither memory nor task manager is an option for buttons. its too bad because i really dont need a button for the comm manager

Go here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/ppc_tcuts2.asp?frame=true
read about making a shortcut to Memory/Running programs.
Make a .lnk file as directed, place in your start menu, and then you will have that option available in Start -> Settings -> Buttons
V

Using that information you can make a shortcut with this;
28#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2&ltCR>
Copy the above text into notepad and "save as", Running Progs.lnk
Copy the file to the PPC into the Windows\Start Menu folder and then link it to a hard key.
I used AE Button Plus to map task manager to the windows key which also works well.

thanks alot. I'm glad there was a solution that didn't include more software. I really loaded my 8125 up with tweaks and it made it really slow and unstable. I'm really happy wiht the 8525 as it seems to have native support for alot of the tweaks people have been doing on the 8525 and i would hate to slow it down with lots of programs.

WM5 Softkey menu

just want to know, if I want to add some shortcut to menu softkey, How do I do that. For instance, when I use the phone program, there are two softkey menus that are available. The left side is Contacts and the other one is Menu, I want to add my shortcut program inside that menu. Which registry I have to find? Thanks

I don't know which are the registry keys, but there are a couple of programs to do that. Try KeySwop for example.

soft key cpl.
or
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113]
@="anything_you_like'"
"Open"="\"\\Windows\\pocketcm.exe\""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112]
@="anything_you_like"
"Open"="\"\\Windows\\pocketcm.exe\""
if you need TWO instances of wm5newmenu for EACH softkey, you need to hexedit wm5newmenu.exe AND its cpl...then assign each instance(of wn5newmenu.exe) to appropiate softkey.

[ROM 1.48] Button assginment?!

Hi people,
I'm using the 1.48 ROM and was trying to assign the handsets buttons to
applications via the windows native settings application (i.e. Start -> Settings
-> Personal -> Buttons).
Unfortuanely, the list with buttons is empty, so I cannot assign any application
(would want to use the voicecmd app). Is there a workaround to make the
volume control buttons appear in the list or assign the volume down button to
any desired .exe on the device?
Thanks. mc7

You can try to use AEButtons or SPB Pocket Plus..... but I think that in 1.48 ROMs voicecmd isn't included.
OR if you update to 1.61 voicecmd is already assigned to SEND button!

[REQ] Can no longer program Hard Buttons

Hi,
I've checked these forums but can't find any obvious answer.
I previously had ROM version 1.48 where I was able to program a hard button long press of the answer call key.... SO I used a long press to bring up the task manager.
But with ROM 1.61 this seems to have disappeared.
i.e. If I go into Start -> Settings -> Menu -> All Settings -> Personal -> Buttons
A button was there for me to assign a task. But this seems to have disappeared.
Without having to install any other application (such as AE Buttons) is there any known way of creating a shortcut to a hard button ?
Perhaps a registry hack ?
Any advice would be much appreciated

Same problem here but i have Rom 1.44 Dutch Vodafone

I have same problem. I want to assign task manager to back hardkey with no third party application, but I could not find any solution
