Anyone knows how can I preform copy/cut/paste when using the hardware keyboard without going to the soft button in application that support that or using the stylus ?
I found that using the "Shift" with the right/left arrows will select the text but can't continue from here.
Thanks
Anyone ??? , It's annoying to get the stylus just for that when typing text....
Yah it would be nice to find a way to do this. Maybe someone can map copy/cut/paste to a keypress combinatiom?
I think VJKeyPress can emulate copy and paste, but the better solution is to use PHM's tools to emulate copy/paste. However, due to the fact that you're emulating a keypress (ctrl+c) while pressing another hardware key, from memory it used to confuse the system a little. But give it a go.

Has anybody worked out if the keyboard has a Ctrl key or a function that works like Ctrl , handy when quitting apps eg Ctrl Q.
Or editing.
I couldnt find it when I used the device.
Cheers
That's very strange because I have it on my MDA II's touchscreen keyboard. Are you talking about the touchscreen keyboard that you have to pop up by pressing the up arrow in the lower right-hand corner in the Messages app for instance?
I wonder whether this feature would also be ROM-dependent.
i meant the hard keyboard not sip. its on sip but when i used the universal i couldnt see it.
Yes I am interested in the Ctrl button on the universal as well, I owned a XDAIIs and found the keyboard on that didn't have the Ctrl key either so you can't do CUT/COPY or paste unless there is another way. I cut and paste heaps so the keyboard was useless to me on the XDAIIs.
Any one know if there is another way to do this on the Universal Keyboard.
what a wind up this is, cant believe they missed the ctrl button off the proper keyboard.
The keyboard has Cut/copy/paste function, so I am happy.
Jasjar is the most awesome PPC Phone yet.
there is a screen tap key (a bit like the right mouse click key on a full computer) this brings up the menu option, with copy and cut in it !! then you can just pres the relevant letter on the keyboard, thus having the same effect (ie press a function key then C or T or V).
PS its Fn [Space] key
cool... i wondered what that key did! that is useful!
[ctrl] is used for more things than copy+paste.
I use my Exec to communicate with *NIX servers using Pocket PuTTY. [ctrl] is kind of essential.
Agree, using putty is a nightmare without a ctrl key. Is there any way of mapping another key to do the same function
another experince that i want to share. to make it easy while using the two keys and the keyboard. you can use Hot Keys for example:
at File Explorer if you want to copy file press menu key then press "i" button then press "C" button.
thats all :lol:

Wish they had put a "ctrl" key on the keyboard though. The JASJAR is no use with Putty for controlling *nix machines without being able to do ctrl+c or ctrl+d etc.

I agree, a CTRL key would be useful. Perhaps it's possible to remap a key on the keyboard to perform the functions of CTRL? For example, I never use the caps lock key so that would be ideal. Perhaps I'll look into this, been playing with the .NET compact framework quite a lot recently.
I had a try with AEKMap but it couldn't send the correct key code.
The code for ctrl is 0011

If you could figure this out you'd be my hero. The lack of a ctrl key is bugging me.
some of my keyboard doesn;t correspond to what the been printed?
any chance to remap it?
That's some excellent question. I know I saw a prg for the PDA2K.. but not for the JJ. I would love to Remap the 'SYM' keyboard button to CTRL or ALT... I know there's a program that may simulate certain keys.. but you need a way to MAP the keyboard button to execute it (i think..mm)
The PQz program does this (and more) very nicely!

I have a mogul, and I was wondering how you type certain keys on the keyboard. Ideally, I would like to be able to type escape, ctrl- and alt- keycombos on the physical keyboard, but if that's not possible then I'd like to be able to do that using the SIP keyboard. Also I'd like a way to type F-keys using the SIP keyboard.
I tried using AEKMap, and it simply didn't work. I noticed that on the PocketPutty homepage, it shows a SIP keyboard with an alt key, and another SIP keyboard without one. I have the latter, and I would like the former.
Anyone have any ideas? I think it's ironic that I can type any international character I want, but I can't type basic things like escape and alt.
I don't think windows mobile supports those keys anyway, which is probably why we don't have the option of using them anywhere.
That's not true. Many WinMo apps display ctrl+ shortcuts and the soft-keyboard contains those keys.

You can definitely use ctrl, I use it to paste when the press and hold menu doesn't come up in some aps.
I've used it on soft keyboards, but is there a way to use ctrl from the slide out keyboard?
I want to remap the ctrl button to the HW keyboard. I did some searcing on it and found PQzII, but thats not the best solution in my opinion.
Is it possible to map it using AEKmap? I dont know if Im missing something on how it works or what, but I could not get it work with it...
Smarter ones please help...
have not yet managed to do that with AEKmap. Event talked to the programmer. Seems to be a problem with some eT9 files. you can try one of the T9 remover CABs he posts in the AEK FAQ. no luck yet here...something seems to already catch the keyboard input.
We need a real solution for this, its a huge handicap that there is no ctrl button. I have the TP too and I really want this to be fixed on the X1...
We need a fixxxxx.... This is beyond me that TP is the only device with CTRL... Insane...
well i dont think its that important. just use the touchscreen for copy and paste.
Cause I hate to have no CTRL key too, I've just made a remapping for Italian layout (I think it is usable with any layout cause it uses character code, layout independent) who makes you do CTRL+ANY_ALPHABETIC_CHARACTER by typing WIN+ANY_ALPHABETIC_CHARACTER (i.e. CTRL+C by typing WIN+C)
You can do any CTRL+ shortcut, from CTRL+A to CTRL+Z, cause some programs use more shortcuts than others, so I remapped all for any use you like or you need
You need the activated version (commercial one)
You need to type WIN and any key at the same time or type and keep typing WIN before the other key, I say that cause sometimes it seems that the program ignore your typing, train yourself and you'll find the right way to use it
thanks, but it doesnt work on mine
tried it with multikeyhook, still the same.
it just pauses the X1 for a second when i press any WIN+ combo
Just wondering why you think using PQII isn't a good way to map CTRL?
I'm currently using it and having no issues. Its memory footprint is quite small too.
