change keys on keyboard?

Does anybody knows if it posible to change the assinment of the keys on the keyboard?
I would like to change the Windows Startbutton into CTRL, So i can easy use CTRL C and CTRL V.
Do i have to change the keybddr.dll for it?

Not to be a "me 2"er, but I am looking to swap the comma and period. They're on the same key, but I have to use the "Option" button (round dot) to get a comma. Well, when I'm option-locked and typing numbers, I use the period a lot more than when I'm typing letters. I'd like to see a way to simply swap those two functions on that key.

scandinavian letters (ä,ö) with MDA Vario?

I just bought a MDA Vario from the UK so I'm having a hard time typing scandinavian letters with the keyboard, could someone please tell me how I could remap the keys to get letters ä and ö or is there already a program that can give me these letters? To clarify, I can type them using the Sym key but I have to press the Sym so many times it slows my typing too much. Thanks!
-John

Help? How can I remap the ä and ö keys?

Moi,
there's file sym.txt that you can edit to get öä's faster, transfer it to your pc with ActiveSync, edit with notepad or similar and transfer back to your phone. That's it. My 1st line of that file for example looks like this:
aäàáâåąãăæ
I think you'll find the sym.txt from "Windows"-folder of your phone.
There's also Scandinavian softkeyboard CAB available but I don't know what that really does, you can find it from this forum.

What to edit?
What is it i shal edit to get this to work?
i want my danish keyboard to work as well.

QWERTZ keyboard layout

My O2 XDA Mini S has a QWERTZ keyboard layout, and the WM software uses QWERTY layout, thats why whwn I type using the keyboard, Ive always misused the Y with the Z, and vise versa. Also the symbols are all rumnbled into places. Is there a way I can use the QWETZ layout using the english WM, because I believe that the QWERTZ layout maybe compatible to WM German version. (I dont understant german, so I need the english version). Please help, because I dont think I can do anything with the physical layout of my keyboard so I just need a modification with the software.

you need to edit the keyboard language in the registry. the default is 0409 for english. im not sure what the german one is, but check the wiki, i'm sure you can find out some more info in there.
look at the next post, i figured it out
-Nstefanelli-

Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 0407
You have to edit the registry, you need to change it from 0409 to the above.
Good luck.

Hi. I'm not able to safe any keys in the registry.
Done and rebooted. Edit was gone.
Maybe issue with my Registry editor?

I use the german keyboard as well. The easiest solution to that is the Registry wizard
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Upload/cabs/RegistryWizard_PPC.ARMV4.cab
There you just change the keyboard to German and done with it.
As to the other, you should always wait a couple of minutes before reboot, looks like it actually take some time for the system to write it back into the registry.
In addition, it's moire than just the one key to change.
Bye

In here any simular cab like this, but for Czech qwertz keyboard?
Thanx in advance!

But this location is not working for me

I have the same problem again....
This fix worked for me with wm5 but I just upgraded to wm6 and kb went to qwerty mode (the hardware is a qwertz).
I tried adding the above-mentioned key to the recommended location, and it did not work (that key does not initially exist on wm6).
I also found two keys: \\\registry\hkcu\keyboard layout\preload\default, and \\\registry\hkcu\keyboard layout\preload\1\default, and both of them had e0010409 as the value. I changed them both to e0010407 and tried coldboot after each (one and then both) and it still doesnt thinks its a qwerty keyboard.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks -- AshayinFLA

Keyboard Not Mapped Correctly

Here's a weird one... I have a rogers TyTN (it did this on WM 5 as well as 6)
The Y, U, and I keys all have weird results. The arrow keys do the same as the Y, U and I keys.
The Y key does a < key and then the Y and the U and I keys do a down arrow then U or I depending.
How can I get the keyboard layout right again? This is driving me nuts! Ican't text or email right now because it's constantly doing these weird things.
Thanks for any help!

You can try the cabs that setup the keyboard but if this doesnt work it might be a hardware problem, here are the links!

Edit: im assuming you know how to install a cab but ill go ahead and say how to. Put file onto your hermes and then on the phone go to file explorer and click on the cab you put on your phone.

Or HTCustom and Schaps Adv Config have a options in them to change it.

Thanks for the advice. In the advanced config it was set to chinese. I switched it to english, but got the same results.
I've also tried both mappings provided as cab files and no joy :<
Must be the phone... considering it did this with the rogers firmware on it that's the only thing that makes sense... back to rogers!

maybe you have the htc touch keypad + keyboard installed. I had the same problem, deinstalled the touch keypad / keyboard and it worked fine.
Just the thing is, I'd really like to use both, touch keypad and correctly functioning slideout keyboard...

Adding keys for QWERTY? help

Hi, i just wanted to ask for help, because im from Spain and need the "Ñ" key and i also want the "_" key on my QWERTY keyboard. As soon as i saw that there werent those 2 keys, i was wondering if there's an application that makes me configure normal keys (like Z,X,C, those who doesnt have blue letters) so that i make them also have "blue letter", like Ñ or those things
would be very nice since i only use qwerty for writing sms
thank you !

try x1bc. you can associate fn+a (,b,c,d,f,z,x,c,v) to any letter (or program)
