disable 'back' function on Del/backspace key in opera - XPERIA X1 General

is there any way to disable the back function on bkspc key in opera ,because sometimes when i try to delete severals letters by pressing the key , opera goes back ,and that is really annoying when entering text.
There also seems to be a problem with Sym and au keys as well. is this on my device only or to everyone? i must mention that i use standard opera from GenericUK ROM. i also have macromedia flash uninstalled.

it seems that after uninstalling some extra kybds like Diamond keyboard and NullKybd the back problem doesn't appear anymore. but not being able to use phone's sym and au key when entering text(it seems to work in adress/search bar) is hard ,because it's impossible to enter some symbols like"underscore" when typing.

I too have this problem.
I used to used Opera in favor of Internet Explorer and this backspace key working as a back key is giving me a hard time.
Any solutions to it? (Other than removing keyboards)

Ctrl Key - Does it exist or how?

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

Soft backspace key does not respond ( sometimes)

Hi all.
Just a very small problem but still very annoying
When useing notes or even adding/editing contacts, the back space key ( soft or hard ) sometimes fails to respond , even though the screen is registering a tap ?
If i soft reset the Vario all is well for a while, its only when its been left for some time.
Any ideas please ?
If you have CAPS or Shift active, Backspace works like Del, i.e. erases the character under (before) the cursor, if any. Just in case...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Many tanks for your advice but the problem still persists.
When typing a text or in word, the back space will not delete the previous character or move a space back ONLY when i toggle to the '123' button will the back space work correctly ?
(Also if i soft reset its all fine for a while)
The key is regestering a tap and the screen has been re-aligned just to check.
Got me well confused
I have had this problem too, but I could not solve it.
I've had three new MDA VArio II's from shops in three different parts of the country and all of them have had this problem. Shops and support were unable to solve it. Did anyone ever find out what the problem was?
Jono.

where can i find the underscore _

Hello, i have a little problem.
I would to setup windows messenger on my X1 but i need the _ to compleet the setup. but where can i find the _ on the X1.
Thankz.
bring up the on screen keyboard. its a hassle i know but the x1 doesnt seem to have it mapped on the query keyboard
It works! Thankz.
You can use the àü button (just above the "Sym" key on the hardware keyboard) for this and MANY other characters...
For example type a "-" and then press the àü key and it turns that "-" into the "_" that you wanted...
This also works for $, £, and loads more symbols ...you can even customise it (I set mine up so I have easy access to £ and €...)

thay AU key doesnt seem to do anything for me. do i need to set it up first?
No it should just work ~maybe probs if you've installed a keyboard? or manila ...but fresh out of the box it works automatically
Connect your phone in ActiveSync mode to your computer and open \Windows\sym.0409.txt
That shows you the list ...for each character it shows what pressing the àü key will change it to (you have to press àü immediately after pressing the original key)
You can move them around. Each line is representing one hardware key. Each time you press àü it jumps to the next character on the line in that text file.
Here is an extract of mine -

@£$€~
%^
So when I type "a" and then press àü it changes to à ...press àü again and it changes to á ...
So to get the GBP symbol I just type @ and press àüand there you go... I have £
im usign the diamond keyboard. it doesnt do anythign for me when i press that button. dont have anything else installed. ill try to look up that file, thanks.
i tried opening it. it has everything you have and more. however, it doesnt work.
i'm using the X1ButtonMapper software and assigned the Tab+s key for underscore using the command SendKeys("_"). at the same time I assigned the $, %, and + keys to other buttons. it made sending e-mails and SMS a lot easier..

crashed the soft keyboard *solved

i feel like a total idiot...
today i somehow crashed my software keyboard by installing some application to change the keyboards style.
the effect was indeed noticeable. the keyboard is gone.
when i for example want to write a new sms the screen does not change until i press on the space where the keyboard button normaly would be. tapping the keyboard space again seems to pop up an invisible keyboard but whereever i tap nothing happens.
would not be so bad, i still have the hardware keyboard or atleast i thought so, but the buttons are reassigned. the normal "." (dot) does not work at all and the "cap/shift" button opens the messages-screen.
of course i uninstalled the app but that did not help. i also tried to install another programm (pcm keyboard) hoping it would give me atleast some kind of keyboard.
but everything stays as it is.
is there any solution to this? something like reseting the keyboard? or is my only chance to hard-reset? (already tried soft-reset)
thx
fleity
EDIT: problem solved
after very much googlen and trying various things i think simply deleting all registry entrys the app created did the job

x1 Hardware Keyboard

When i write a text and use the sym button it adds a e with two dots above it before the symbal that i have chosen.
is this a prob or am i doing something wrong to make this happen?
no one else had this?
Not seen that here ...and just tested of course -within an SMS, using the sym key and then selecting the character I want on-screen ...that character is added perfectly
Ive got a problem atm where when i try to use the blue key to get number and symbols it doesnt work so im having to use the on-screen keyboard which is a pain.
Installed the htc touch 2 keyboard and it wont let me uninstall
guess the only thing to do is another hard reset
no problem here - sym key pops up symbol sip
using jacks 2.9 rom with no extra sip's installed
