Has anyone had similar issue?
When I open Start Menu, some letters of Program names are underlined.
Any idea how to remove those marks?
Thanks in advance!
These are keyboard shortcuts to those programs (similar in "desktop" windows - when you press "Alt" key you have some letters underlined; when you press those letters on the keyboard it shall activate the given option).
There is a registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (which unfortunately I can not remember right now)
with a value called something like HardwareKeybaordEnabled (sorry I can't be more specific).
If you change it from 1 to 0 the lines will go away.
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\HasKeyboard 1",change 1 to 0 and power off...

Inspired by the thread about changing the Pocket IE (or T-mobile) button, is it possible to remap that button to CTRL+C and the FN+PocketIE button to CTRL+V? Do these keyboard shortcuts even exist in CE.NET 5/WM5? At the very least I need them for remote desktop so if anyone knows how one might acheive this, I'd love them in a manly way
how hard is it to 'hack' WM5?
there would seem to be enough "spare" buttons on the Exec that one could be used as Ctrl...
the blue Fn button, doesn't have any key-combination bindings with X, C or V - so cut, copy and paste (keyboard shortcuts I miss the most, too!) could be done with Fn-X, Fn-C etc.
does anyone know how easy it would be to do this?
I agree that the missing [Ctrl]-key is a right pain. Sadly, I can't offer a solution, but experimenting with key combinations has shown up some oddities!
Holding [shift]+[Fn] followed by a key on the bottom row first puts a character into the current application before actioning the special function of that key.
For example, open Word, then press:
[shift]+[Fn]+[envelope] inserts character: "z"
[shift]+[Fn]+[windows] inserts character: "x"
[shift]+[Fn]+[PIE] inserts character: "c"
[shift]+[Fn]+[space] inserts character: "v"
[shift]+[Fn]+[symbol] inserts character: "b"
[shift]+[Fn]+[left arrow] inserts character: "n"
[shift]+[Fn]+[down arrow] inserts character: "?"
[shift]+[Fn]+[right arrow] doesn't do anything
Pressing:
[shift]+[Fn]+[c] unfortunately launches [PIE]
However, pressing:
[shift]+[Fn]+[v] first inserts the character "v", but then opens the (tap-&-hold) shortcut menu with "Paste" highlighted. If you have some text in the clipboard then it will automatically paste that text into the application. Just a pain that it inserts the "v" first.
Above all based on the O2 XDA Exec.
I've tried to get [ctrl] working with Aekmap but had no luck.
It's a shame because it's not just copy and paste that needs a ctrl key. I use pocket PuTTY a lot to administer *nix machines and [ctrl]+c is kind of vital.
You just hold Fn and press Space to get the edit menu.
That's why the symbol on it is the same as the seldom-used edit key to the right of the Alt-Gr on a regular PC keyboard.
Or am I missing the point here?
I think you are missing it a little. I (and I'm sure others) use terminal services client quite a bit and not having a CTRL key is a real pain. In some circumstances, your suggestion works, but not universally.
I love the 8125 with the exception of two features, both involving the keyboard.
1. Is there anyway to increase the time that the keyboard backlight stays on? And also, to turn the keyboard backlight on as soon as you open it?
Whenever I slide the keyboard out it's a little difficult to see what's on all the keys, as the characters are a light color and they are on a light-colored background. After you start typing the backlight comes on, but you need to tap one key to get it to light up in the first place. Is there a tweak to have the keyboard light come on when you slide it out? Without having to tap a key? And once it's on, can I edit a setting or reg key to have it stay on until I slide it back in?
2. If you'll notice, the first letter typed will always capitalize as soon as you tap the spacebar after completing the first typed word. This can be nice at times if you're typing in a Word document or something similar. However, typing passwords has become downright frustrating! You definitely do NOT want any letters capitalized when you're typing in a password. Plus the fact that all passwords show only as asterisks when typing them makes the auto-capitalizion hurt more than help. I always have to switch to the SIP when typing in passwords, as I get way too many "incorrect password" popups due, I'm certain, to the capitalization issue. Then, of course, changing to number mode (double-tap the round red dot key)can also be hairy when all you see are asterisks - It's difficult to know whether or not the mode changed when you try to reverse the numbers mode.
I've searched here and on the HoFo site to no avail.
Any help or advice is appreciated!
In addition to the above, I'd like to know how to accept an autocompletion suggestion from the keyboard, i.e. without using the stylus.

Hit arrow key down and then the enter key. As for part two of J-Mac's post, if you're in a program that has a soft key bar at the bottom this simple registry edit will give a hand Caps/Function indicator:
Keyboard status indicator – adds a handy indicator that shows you when caps lock and symbol lock are activated on your keyboard.
Use Total Commander to navigate to \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keyb
Create a new entry with the name EnableIndicator
Assign the new entry a DWORD value of 1
perform a soft reset
and auto-capitalization can be changed by going to the Input control panel applet, it's on the Options tab "Capitalize beginning of sentence" or somesuch
As for keyboard backlight - no hacks known of for the Wizard :|

Thanks for that - obvious when you know how!
Thanks for the keyboard indicators - very helpful.
Zeboxx, I already set that option, but it appears to only apply to the SIP - not the physical keyboard.

Great tips, BoycottValvoline! Indicator is working fine. That's a big help.
I don't know of anyone who has managed to come up with a way to extend the keyboard backlight, though.I can't find a registry key that addresses the backlight - doesn't appear to be one.

I've done this on my 8125 and I get no indicator when I use the hardware keyboard.
Any help, anyone?
Thanks.
I have an 8125 and it worked fine for me.
Take another look and make sure that you entered everything exactly as shown. You'd be surprised how easy it is to be off.
For example, check Start>Settings>Personal>Input>Word Completion and make sure that "Add a space after suggested word" is NOT selected. (If it is, you may be adding a space after the DWORD value without knowing it).
Plus check your spelling - Case and punctuation must be perfect when creating the registry key.
Finally, perform a soft reset afterwards. Now check the bottom of the screen when the hardware keyboard is slid out. (Make sure first that you have a program open that requires the keyboard.) Try hitting the shift key once, then twice. Same with the Function key. Once, then twice.
Once on, the Shift key shows a "C" and makes shift active for one keystroke. Double tap it and CAPS mode is on and the "C" stays there till you tap it twice again.
Function key works the same, but you'll see a solid dot instead of a "C".
Has anyone resolved the problem with making the backlight time stay on longer?

I haven't tried it, but I found this registry key on another site:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout
It should be the number of seconds to stay on. Try 30.
Nah, that's on a few sites - but it doesn't work on the Wizard.
It's a hardware issue; no registry fix can do it on the Wizard.

If it's an .exe file, you have to install from your desktop through Active Sync. If it's a .cab file, just drag and drop it to your phone the Active Sync's "Explore" option.
Then, navigate to the file on your phone and tap it to begin the installation.
Backlight duration
Sorry to teel you guys , but the keypad backlight duration on the wizard is hardware controlled ! ! ! So no software / registry hack will lengthen / shorten the duration !
i know this is a small thing,
but i really don't like having my message capitalize the first letter of each sentence.
is there a way to un-capitalize it - so it would be like the post i'm wiriting right now? (no CAPITAL letters).
the input settings "Capitalize first letter of sentence" doesn't seems to be working
and another request
can anyone make a cab (or something) to change the deafult home soft keys
"Phone" and "Programs" to "Phone" and "Contacts"?
but the "Contacts" will open up iContact..
thanks in advance..

Hi folks,
I'm trying to remap the hardware buttons of my rooted Xperia Pro with stock ICS 4.0.4, but there are some quirks that trouble me.
Basically, I want to
1.) remap the language button on the QWERTZ hardware keyboard.
2.) Prevent the camera button from unlocking the phone - just press power to show the lock screen, then hold camera button, the press home key and you'll see how easy it is for the phone to unlock in your pocket.
So far, I parsed through the keyboard layout files in /system/usr
I remapped key 368 in pm8058-keypad.kl to CTRL_LEFT, which did not seem to make any difference! Language button still invokes language dialog
I also modified quertz.xml and qwerty-en.xml by replacing META_LANGUAGE with META_CTRL_LEFT - did not make any difference.
Of course, I rebooted the phone inbetween...
Regarding 2), I have no clue. Butting WAKE_DROPPED behind CAMERA and FOCUS in pm8058-keypad.kl does not help.
I could use some help with key remapping as well. If I find some info i'll send it your way.
No progress for me so far... anyone?

I want to re-map the 0 (Zero) key and the OK button orientation on the PIN Lock feature. Any info what files I need to change?
I GOT IT!!! partially at least....
Reading through http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-character-map-files.html and http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-layout-files.html once again, I finally found something that pointed me into the right direction!
I order to make my change to the Language button work (remapping key 368 to CTRL_LEFT), there are two possible ways:
1.) Set hardware keyboard to FULL keyboard type by replacing "type ALPHA" with "type FULL" in /system/usr/keychars/pm8058-keypad.kcm
This will make the hardware keyboard work without any additional GUI, so pressing shift will allow you to select text and copy&paste via ctrl+a,c,v,x now works (This still depends on the app you are using. Some do ignore this, some will still work with menu+a,c,v,x instead)
But beware:, in order to enter numbers or upper case letters, you now have to keep the modifier key pressed.
Printable characters can be edited via /system/usr/keychars/pm8058-keypad.kcm, non-printables like modifier keys can be edited via /system/usr/keylayout/pm8058-keypad.kl
Android keycode names can be found here: http://source.android.com/tech/input/keyboard-devices.html
Until now, I was unable to create a solution for entering special characters like ä,ö,ü
I tried to via sym or meta keyword in .kcm file while mapping the Sym key to SYMBOL or META_LEFT via the .kl file, but it didn't work...
2.) The .xml files in /system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts are used only with the keyboard configured as "type ALPHA". In order to identify the correct .xml file, you have to parse through the files in /system/usr/keyboard-config/languages and look for the script keyword, which in conjunction with the declarations in /system/usr/keyboard-config/keyprint.xml will tell you to the layout xml file for your device localisation.
Now, in order to remap printable characters, you have to edit the correct layout xml file and for non-printable characters, you have to edit the scancodes.xml file in /system/usr/keyboard-config.
Unfortunately, shift-selecting text will not work with "type ALPHA" mode and it seems that editing scancodes.xml is not sufficient to remap language button to CTRL_LEFT, but the .kl file has to be changed, too.
