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.

where does the list of programs--> button comes from?

I'm writing a script using Mortscript, and I would like to assign it to a button.
When I go in the proper menu (Buttons), I have a list of programs.
Now, some of them are script files, but not all of them.
How can I have my script listed there?
What kind of programs are listed in that pop-up menu?

Suggest that you copy your script file & paste a shortcut in Main memory\Windows\Start Menu, it will then appear in the list of programs you can run via Programs on the Today screen as well as the place you want it. Please remember to paste a shortcut not the actual file.
You can also re-organise the Start Menu items by creating folders & moving the shortcuts into them, it saves having to scroll through long lists of icons. I have folders for things like utilities & games.

thanks Mike,
this is something I've done for a long time, and I agree it's useful.
But my aim here is to use one of the hard buttons (the video calling one) to substitute the on-off button on the left. The reason is simple: I prefer to use my right hand.
That's why I wrote a Mortscript file to do that.
Now how it is some mscr files can be seen by the "assign button" routine and others can't?
File dimension? Use?
No idea.

CommManager on Hard button?

Tried to assign CommManager to a hardbutton but had no luck, any reghacks or similar that I can do to assign it f.ex HOLD Audio REcord button?

Go to windows directory and you can find CommManager.exe file. Create a short cut and copy to "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" . Now Comm Manager will apear in your available programs list. No go to Settings --> Buttons and assign it to any button you want.

I used Resco Explorer.
Find windows/commeneger.exe and in Resco Eplorer choose "send to start menu as shortcut. (or something like this)
After this you can assign to any hardbutton

Thanks alot, now it works perfect!!!

Is CommManager.exe a hidden file? Using File Explorer I can't see it in my Windows directory....

Yes it's cool to have a shortcut for commanager, but I am only able to configure the voice and the camera button. Isn't there a way to configure "press and hold" in one of the other buttons as a shortcut? Is it possible to configure a shortcut directly to wifi on/off, instead of commanager (that would save me a couple of clicks every time I arrive home)?

button for comm manager

Hello,
Is there a way to allocate a button for teh comm manager in trinity the same as in the TYTN?
Thanks,
udi

As you know, there are only 3 assignable buttons on the Trinity, B1, B2 and B1 Press/Hold.
To get one of those assigned to Com Manager, you need to create a shortcut to Comm Manager in the Programs file, from where you can use the Button Control Panel to assign the function.
Open a File Manager (if using File Explorer, make sure Options/ Show All Files is selected; even with this however, you can't see file extensions, which makes the process tricky!- better to use Resco or Total Commander) and navigate to My Device/Windows. Look for CommManager.exe and Tap/Hold and select Copy from the context menu that pops up.
Now navigate to Windows/Start Menu/Programs and then Menu/Edit/Paste Shortcut. This will place the shortcut in the Programs folder. You may need to rename it to remove the 'Shortcut to..' prefix, though Resco doesn't prefix it anyway.
From there, go Start/Settings/ Buttons and do the reassignment.

thanks a lot!!

Can I add a shortcut to Comms Manager to the Start/drop down menu?

Hi
Can I add a shortcut to Comms Manager to the Start/drop down menu?
I turn Wifi on and off a lot and it would be eaiser to use the menu.
Thanks

You need to open File Explorer and then in the menu select 'Show All Files'; better still use Total Commander, or Resco File Explorer
Navigate to My Device/Windows and find CommManager.exe; tap/hold it and select 'Copy'
Now navigate to Windows/Start Menu/Programs and select Menu/File/Copy Shortcut. This will place a link in Start/Programs. If you used Resco, the link will be called CommManager; if you use File Explorer, it will be called 'Shortcut to CommManager' which could do with shortening, so go back to Windows/Start Menu/Programs, find the 'Shortcut to..' entry, Tap/Hold it and select Rename.
Once the file is in Programs, you need to go to Start/Settings/Menu from where you can select a Checkbox for any file in Programs, which will then appear in the main Start dropdown, but be aware that you can only have a max of 7 entries, so you may need to disable one.
If you already have less than 7 entries, you can copy the shortcut directly into Windows/Start Menu, but if you have 7 or more, the operation will fail.

I use AE button plus to map wi-fi on/off toggle to a button. I also use wi-fi a lot and that saves me a lot of taps. (I map long press on one of the softkeys to do it and the other to toggle silent mode).

Thanks Neil.
All working!
