I like to emulate the stylus select and hold with the device keyboard. How can I do it?
I don't know about the keyboard, but you can assign a hardware key to show the context menu, or use VJKeyPress I think.

how about "Fn + Space" ??
Is there Fn key on Wizard?
buzz
there isn't an "FN" key but there is a key with a dot on it that works as an "FN" key would. And i just tried it and space, along with enter and ok and no luck.
I'm the only one that like to open the context menu with the device keyborad? :lol:
I hold the central button of the d-pad to do that.
Not so far the keyboard...

Hey guys,
is there a way to reassign the hardkeys home and back?
I also have an item "Buttons" in the settings but there is only one key defined: "Key 1 (Hold), Voicedial settings".
However, I can't find this button, where is it?
It's the first button i.e phone pickup, hold it and it will give you the voice dial
Key 1 is the dial key (far left).
You can reassign the back key with AE Button Plus. I'm not sure that you can remap home.
use AE Button Plus to reassign the keys, words great on my touch hd. I read somewhere that Home button is not supported due to different driver implemented by HTC
Thanks for your replies.
I'm aware of AE Button Plus but the interesting thing is the reassignment of the home key.
I wanna keep the back key as it is and assign an ok/close task to the home key because the end call button actually does the same thing as the home button namely go back to the today screen when you have a running application in foreground.
In AEB+ I have the following:
Button 1 (hold)
Windows Key
Enter/Action
Volume Up
Volume Down
Green Phone Button
Red Phone Button
Left Softkey
Right Softkey
Up Arrow
Down Arrow
Left Arrow
Right Arrow
I can access the volume up and down keys but which key is the back key?
I assume the green and red phone button is pickup and hangup key respectively?
Is there a way to access the power key at the top?

The back key is "Enter/Action".
It seems that the home key as well as the power key cannot be reassigned.
Back and home key can be reassigned on a window by window basis in the registry. Not particularly useful, but better than nothing.

What exactly needs to be done in the registry to reassign the home key?
Even if I have to enter a new registry key for any program window I might use it is worth the effort (at least for me).

I just want to update:
the back key is not the "Enter/Action" key. i have tried to edit this button and it didn't remap to the Back key.
If you go to File -> Add Button, and tap the Back key, it will recognize the key as button #405C. I have remapped it to "Close Active Application" and it worked.
i don't think u can reassign the Home key as AE Button Plus cannot access the Home key.
I was also unable to change the Home key in AEBplus.
Concerning the back key assignment with AEBplus, I was trying to assign something to the long press but unable to get it working. No problem for single press and double press.
Anyone has better luck?

So how do we go about doing that vijay555?
Power Key
Here's the modified power key from Diamond but it can be used on HD.
When Power key on long-pressed, it will display the menu for choice. Tested.

KCJ
just tested on Aeplus 2.6.6.1, the Back key = the Ok key, it can be remapped.
I have it set to:
Single press="Ok/Close"
Double press = S2U2
Long press=close active app
EDIT: Long press doesn't work... might try another method.
don't know if this works, but it is worth a try:
if you copy a shortcut to \Windows and name it "Short_Power.lnk" you can intercept the short power key press. at least that worked for me on my diamond.
you could try s.th. like "Short_Home.lnk" but that would intercept the "other home key" (which manages the cursor's position like end, up down, left, right, etc).
the magic would be to find the correct name of the key.
longpress back key (405C)
I know this is an old thread, but I haven't found yet a solution.
I'd like to be able to add longpress back key (405C) to the key menu on the windows config.
I've found the registry key that HTC uses to provide longpress send key, but I copied with no luck.
Anyone knows how to do it? vijay555 has said it's possible but never indicated how...
Am I blind or is there no ctrl key in the HD2 keyboards?
Also, how do I get the numpad kb? it shows by itself sometimes, when you can't 'select' it on purpose.?

You're right - there is no Ctrl key. You'll need a 3rd party keyboard if you want one.
To get the phone keypad, hold down the little arrow next to the keyboard deployment icon in the bottom bar. It's one of the options in there.
i have the EN(asian) rom, which doesn't have keypad option.
i tried re-enabling the builtin kb but it doesn't do anything, HTC has truly destroyed it.
I did a bunch of searches to see if this topic has been brough up before and I couldn't find anything, but if I just missed it then I apologize.
I am wondering if there are any keyboard shortcuts available while using the "Mobile View" via the laptop dock. For example, I have text messaging open, I type a text message and I would like to use a keyboard shortcut to send the text message rather than having to click send.
TIA!
Blax.
Try Control-Enter. That works in Handcent at least.
No luck, the control key seems to be the same as hitting the "menu" button on the device.
Not sure how the laptop dock has the keys mapped, but you should be able to remap the Control key to send 0x25 (left) or 0x6d (right) using xev (to figure out the default keycode of that key) and xmodmap (to remap it to send those keycodes). Maybe try Alt-Enter?
Press Tab until Send illuminates in orange, then press Enter. It only works half the time though for some reason. Hope this half-way helps!
i noticed this problem since the last update...

Alright, FOR SURE how to do it is when you get to the end of your text message, press the right arrow and it will highlight send. It works every time, unlike pressing Tab.
Dose anyone know how to change the input method with keyboard? Thanks a lot
If you want to use the alternate character for the key you can long press the individual key, press fn for a single use or long press fn for a locked position. The up arrow works the exact same way for capitalization. The ae key brings up the special characters for the entered letter and the smiley face is the emoticon button. The sym key brings up the onscreen keyboard symbols and don't forget to use the .com button while browsing.
Take a look at page 17 of the user manual and it explains things pretty well.
Also note that if you enter the people, messaging, email and search and a couple other things with the keyboard closed you can slide the keyboard open after entering and it will place you in the text field ready to type without an extra screen press. This is a very good keyboard if you get used to it.
