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.

WM5 Universal Jas Jar and Windows Clipboard copy and paste

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.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33343

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.

Remap Softkeys

I´m using pocket informant for PIM management and HD Tweaks to remap the softkeys, however, I can´t assign to any of the softkey the pocket informant contacts or calendar, only the WM.
Any ideas on how to solve this?

You need to modifye keys in the registry. Here is how I've done it on my HD (it's in french, so you may have to translate the path for your version)
Using a registry editor,
- I have assigned the label "Agenda" to the left soft key :
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeLSKText="Agenda"
- I've assigned the week view to the key :
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeLSKPath="Windows\menu démarrer\programmes\informant utils\piweek.lnk"
Note that the "Informant Utils" folder contains a shortcut for each view, you can choose whichever you want, their name are self explanatory.
I've configured the x button to close all applications but PI (to have it always active and then have a faster access) :
- start PI
- go to settings>Task manager> tab "current" (or whatever the first tab name is in your language)
- tap and hold on the PI task, then select "add to exclusive"
That way, when I click on the left soft key (now labeled "Agenda") I switch to PI in week view. I can then switch from PI by using the Home button or the x button, PI will stay active and the next switch will be very fast.

Nor working for me...

I should work. You must have made a mistake somwhere. Did you do a soft reset? Did you doublecheck the path to be sure you wrote it correctly?
You can also try the program HD Tweak wich allow you to set that in section 14.4 & 14.5.

My answer to HTCZar was irrelevant, because Claude already anwered.

As I said in the first post, I tried to use HD Tweaks, however the optios presented don´t include the PI calendar\agenda, how do I put them there?

Could you possibly check the link properties for this and month view? Just for anyone that might have got rid of all those extra links cluttering up his 'All programs list'...
What I'd like to have set up, the left soft key goes to Pocket Informant (maybe the screen where you choose what view you want) and when I tap an appointment in TF3D it loads the agenda view, using SSMaPa. (Can you get me a link for this?)

Here is the link as read in the properties of the shortcut :
For PIWeek.lnk :
"\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PITab.exe" 4?\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PITab.exe,-113
For PIMonth :
"\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PITab.exe" 4?\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PITab.exe,-114
To get rid af tho extras link in 'All program list', it would have been better to move the shortcut in another folder, so you could still use them if needed...
I haven't used SSMaPa yet (but I planned to) therefore I can't help you on this matter. Sorry.

Yeah, I should have just moved them... silly me. Thanks for your help. Could you possibly give the link to the agenda view too? Thanks.
Is there a link to 'view' view?

I´ll Try that Again then.
Is it possoble to change the hardware keys function?

Works fine! Thank you very much! @claude

Where do you put the path and exactly how are you writing it ?

1. You need to install registry editor. I use Resco Registry Editor, but there are some other.
2. Open the registry and follow the tree up to the parameter HomeLSKPath. Taping on the parameter should provide a field where to keyin the path string.
3. Quit the registry editor
4. Restart TF3D or do a Soft Reset.

I´ve done that, and i´m also using Resco editor.
The path strings begins with Windows\....PIWeek.lnk right? it takes no " "?

HTC Snap (Sprint) Re-mapping Internet & My Circle shortcut keys

Hi.
I was curious if anyone knows a way to re-map the internet browser shortcut key that is on the bottom right of the Sprint HTC Snap. I would like to have it open Skyfire instead of IE. Skyfire is set as my default browser but the button still opens IE. Also, do the same thing with the Mycircle key but change it to open Task Manager.
Thanks.

The file is in \Windows and it's called short_circle.lnk. Just make a new .lnk and call it short_circle.lnk and copy it to \Windows overwriting the old one.

Hi I got the Inner Circle key remapped using both short_circle.lnk and long_circle.lnk.
I am still having trouble getting the internet key to remap to Skyfire. I have tried making PIE.lnk, short_IE.lnk, long_IE.lnk, short_PIE.lnk, long_PIE.lnk. None of these seems to do the trick. Any ideas?

That key may be hardware coded into the keyboard driver. Not sure.

Hello,
i have an German Model of the Snap.
And i don´t Use Inner Circle. So the TaskManager will be the best Applikation on this Button.
But it don´t work.
I Edit the Files
- InnerCircle.lnk
- Short_Circle.lnk
and Change ist to the TaskMgr.exe.
I Restart my Phone, but the Button always Call the InnerCircle Funktion.
What is my mistake?

Christian, instead of editing the Short_circle.lnk file directly, try as follows:
1. Copy the TaskManager.lnk file from your Windows/Start Menu to another folder (i.e /Storage Card)
2. go in /Storage Card and rename TaskManager.lnk as Short_Circle.lnk
3. Copy this file into /Windows
This should work..at least it did for myself.
Regards

Hello,
thanks for your reply, but it doesn´t works.
The InnerCircle Key always start the Inner Circle Applikation.
Greetings
Christian

1) use total commander or the likes,
2) change the read-only attribute on the short_circle.lnk.
3) then replace the shortcut with whatever application you'd like to run and save it as short_circle.lnk.

Thanks! This worked for me.

Hi there,
Do you have more info on that ? I have a S521 (Frenchy ass, fruity ass), and the so-called internet key is for Live Mess-enger. I would be really interested in mapping a different function to that key.

Hi,
is it possible to re-mapping also key dedicated for Live Messenger? I try it in the same way, like for Inner Circle (which work correctly), but without effect.

I know this reply is late, but for anyone still playing around with HTC SNAPs:

Yep I managed this one:
do the same for \Windows\Start Menu\Messaging.lnk
I Used Total Commander, edited Short_Circle.lnk to be non read only
Found the shortcut i wanted to use, edited the file and copied the shortcut link (do a select all), then edit Short_Circle.lnk, remove the old shortcut path and select all and then paste. Enjoy your Custom single Button shortcut key
I have Telstra Branded Snaps, and i had to remove the security off the phones before i could untick the read only attribute on the Short_Circle.lnk shortcut.
To remove the security:
Install "Clear Security.cab"
Install and Launch Microsoft’s Security Configuration Manager on your PC
Select Security Off from the drop down menu and click the Provision button, the program will install a file called Tool.cab on the mobile device.
MS Security Configuration Manager available here:

VJ KeyPress - Send a '1' to the phone.

Okay, so I'm using Google Voice with call presentation on, and I want to setup a shortcut to send a '1' to the phone to accept an incoming call. I just got a bluetooth watch and I want to be able to have the watch send the key so I don't need to dig out my phone when I'm in the car.
So, to test this a little bit I installed KeyPress and I setup that if I double press my start button in AE Buttons, it runs KeyPress with the parameter of 97. This works perfectly. No issues at all.
But when I try to create a short cut, everything fails. If I just press tap VJKeyPress, I get the little "help" screen. If I create a shortcut, and tap it, I also get the help screen. But when I try to modify the shortcut to pass the '97', then it fails.
I'm guessing that I'm missing something in the syntax, but I can't figure it out.
I have the path, in quotes:
"\P F\vijay555\VJKeyPress\VJKeyPress.exe"
Then I've put 97 at the end just plain, in quotes, in <>, I've put in right behind the .exe inside the quotes... Nothing seems to work at all. I'm at a total loss.
Anyone have a suggestion?

Hi,
Could you send me a screenshot of the configuration screen in AE Buttons.
I can't think why it wouldn't work, but what you could do is create a normal shortcut that launches VJKeypress with the required parameters, and then use AE Button to launch that .lnk shortcut itself, rather than VJKeyPress.exe
Should you get really stuck, VJBrisk might be able to help you, but I think the above should be adequate.
Drop me a PM (and post in the thread) again if you get stuck.
V

Oops... I didn't think I explained myself properly.
The AE Buttons is WORKING. It's the normal shortcut link that I can't get to work... and that's the thing I really need to get working.

Sorry, my bad, didn't read it properly.
I normally put example shortcuts in my cabs, but curiously I've got none in the cab on my phone. Can't believe the app is nearly 5 years old! Wow.
Anyway, I just tried making a shortcut.
If you paste the following:
Code:
55#"\Program Files\Vijay555\VJKeyPress\VJKeyPress.exe" 133
into a text document, and rename it Test.lnk, and copy that over to your phone, it should create a shortcut that locks your phone.
If that works, just change the parameter to do what you want.
What app are you using to create shortcuts?
And what's the significance of the \p\f in your first post?
V

A bit more information...
I tried to write a simple MortScript to run this as well. According to the MortScript manual, to run an app, you use this command:
Run ( "\path\AppName" [,"Parameter"] )
In other words, the path and the command first, and then put in the optional parameter. When I put in just the app name:
Run( "\Program Files\vijay555\VJKeyPress\VJKeyPress.exe" )
And run the script, I get the little help popup as I would expect. When I put in the parameter:
Run( "\Program Files\vijay555\VJKeyPress\VJKeyPress.exe" , "97" )
Nothing happens.

Didn't feel like typing out \Program Files\.

Okay, so using the '133' definitely worked, but when I change it to 97 (the code to send NumPad1), it doesn't work.
But it DOES work when I tell AE Buttons to run VJKeyPress with the parameter of 97. Ugh... very odd.
Just for the fun of it, I also tried setting up a button in AE Buttons to run the shortcut that has '97' in it. That didn't work. I'm at a complete loss to figure out what's going on.

It may be that the keypress is occurring, but it's being fed into AE Buttons rather than the Phone Dialler, ie if when you press the required button, AE Button becomes active, which launches VJKeyPress, which presses 1 <b>within</b> AE Button, not the phone dialler.
You could test this by trying other keys and seeing what happens.
Also try activating Word or something else on your phone and launch the shortcut - see if the desired key gets pressed.
Also, you said NumPad1 - this is the number pad on a pc keyboard.
Try 49, which is just key 1.
