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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33343&highlight=ctrl
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.

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.
Mike
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.
Hi,
How do you guys do a multiple selection in lists such as email list or sms list? It's allways scrolling, impossible to do multiple select!
It goes...
I have Czech Rom, so maybe it is called otherwise...
In sms list tap right menu (MENU) - Select Messages - Several (maybe another some etc)
then select sms you wants and menu - delete for example
Thanks, I just realized after posting the message that it's possible to scroll the menu and to find the "Select messages" submenu.
but what about the other selections
while i am using the file explorer, i can not make multiple selections. i opened the menubar but there was no thing like selekting aditional files or of such kind pls advise!
German w6.5 on Mega
Thanx
You can use the Edit/Select All option but it only selects all the files. I didn't found the way to select only some files.
I select it in Pocket Total Commander, in the botton bar is CTRL button

you need to use the stylus, tap-hold-drag. the hold must be just long enough to select and 'grab' the first cell but not long enough the bring up menu.

which of the two do you want to delete? the internet mobile of the HTC one?
Anyway, it does not matter which one you want to delete. IMHO there are two ways to delete one of them:
1. On the internet tab, yo have on the bottom two possibilities, e.g. menu and favorites. Press menu and you will get the items add or remove favorite quicklink. Press the x of the one you want to delete and its finished. If that does not work, the you can try:
2. Instead of pressing the menu on the bottom, press favorites. Also, there you have on the right bottom the menu possibility. Press menu and choose delete. When you pressed delete, you will see empty squares right to each favorite. Tick the one you want to delete and press ready (left bottom knob). Job done.
With a registry editor, have a look at
HKLM/software/htc/manila/Home/ and you will see a set of numbers, 0-9 (or more)
These are the links on the home page.
Have a look in the 0 one, and scroll down to 'IsReadOnly'. I think that will be set to 1, , change that to 0 and it should unlock the shortcut, then you can delete it.

I am sure that the solution posted by samsamuel and kuzibri is not working.
The way to delete is very simple for me, tap and hold the shortcut you want to delete until a notice "Drag and release the shortcut to remove" appeared. Then, pull it out of thumbnail area, done!
However, I am not sure it work always because I used Co0ckie Home Tab V 1.7.1 and CHTEditor 1.7.1
Typical situation: I have an outlook note (.pwi) file that I keep stored in "my documents" since the pocketpc before my last one, where my WPA TKIP passwords for home and work networks are stored; today I needed to setup the work wifi connection on this hd2.
I open the note, I open the wifi password dialogue, but lo, even if i can select the PSK in the note file and copy it in the clipboard, I cannot paste it to the wifi dialogue, as there is no way to copy/paste text which is outside the scope of the "main" htc apps like mail, sms and such.
There are several empty keys in the second layout of the "symbols" in htc keyboard which could have been filled with useful functions, but none of the buttons in HTC keyboard is able to do the basic cut/copy/paste... either that or I am totally clueless, since hovering the various working keys doesn't come up with any help either (for example hovering the return key in pocketCM keyboard accessed cut/copy/paste).
End of story, I had to switch to home, open taskmanager, switch to note, keep note of some chars, switch to home, open taskmanager, switch to wifi dialogue, write some chars, repeat until PSK is complete. After this I installed the showcase-on-longpress-send cab, but it's still unbelievable that there is no way of having copypaste support in HTC keyboard... and I even like it for the remaining part.
Is there any way to achieve copy/paste functionality feasibly everywhere without recurring to a different keyboard?
I obviously searched the forums here, and the web outside XDA, but to no avail... and I really would like to copy/paste easily everywhere on the HD2 without having to switch keyboards
From within a note, select the text, press and hold the screen, wait for the popup menu to popup with options such as cut, copy, paste and clear.
Jump to the (for example) wifi setup page, press and hold the (example) wep key input box, wait for the popup, you should find only paste is allowed.
Job done.
You might also like this tweak (doesn't work for notes but does for sms and the like)
40. Enable Magnifying Box When Selecting Text
Press and hold your finger on any text in a HTC app such as Messaging and an iphone-esque selection procedure with handles to drag and highlight text will appear. Modify the following registry entry to add a magnifying window as you select and highlight the text. Go to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/TextSelection/EnableMagnifier and change from 0 to 1.

Hi,
I've got the same problem on the wifi interface, impossible to copy/paste. On all other screens it's ok but not there (on the HTC HD2)

...not quite, alas! That's what I did, no popup for that dialogue. Maybe it's because, as a password field, it is cosidered "unsafe" to have copy/paste funzionality.
But still, even if it HAD the popup on finger-hold, it would still be a shameful missing capability in any other dialogue (and I've had this problem several other times with this HD2, the wifi was just the last I remembered... no popup-on-hold menu for copy/paste in the window I needed it in, and no function at all in the keyboard for copy/paste.
must be a rom thing then, because I tested it before I posted. (I even dug out my old htc touch to create the note)
opened the note, selected the text, pressed and held the selected text, chose copy from the popup, jumped to the wifi screen, taped the wep key box to put the cursor there, pressed and held, popup appeared with everything greyed out except the paste option, chose paste and a row of stars appear in the wep field.
gonna do it again now to test again, ill edit if I find anything different.
Edit - ahhh ok, i see now, you can't paste into the HTC wifi screen with the green signal strength bar below the network key entry field, but you CAN paste into the winmo wifi advanced screen.
So, you turn on wifi, it finds a network, (shown on the screen with the wifi toggle at the top, networks listed below) click advanced, change network, and select the network from there. The 'configure wireless network' screen appears, click next to get to the authentication page, and you will find if you press and hold the network key box (after unticking ''the key is automatic'' of course ) you will get a popup with paste enabled.
You can also get to those settings pages by going settings - menu - all settings - connections - wifi - advanced.
uhmmmm JayFR appears to have the same symptoms. I am running on ax*lor rom, which is 2.02 and manila 1921, plust 6.5.2, a frequent combo in custom roms.
Still... without necessarily focusing on the wifi key dialogue, I am convinced a copy/paste update to the keyboard is in order, as I recall 100% having had the same problem with missing copy/paste-on-hold popups before elsewhere on this phone...
So, you turn on wifi, it finds a network, (shown on teh screen with teh wifi toggle at the top, networks listed below) click advanced, change network, and select the network from there.

thanks for the workaround Yet, don't you think that copy/paste SHOULD be integrated in the keyboard through some hold-popup maybe, like accented letters or symbols? <waves hand in the air in jedi fashion>
Oh absolutely, yes, but then i use swype keyboard, where it does have those functions, so i haven't really had any problems to make me notice the lack of function on the default keyboard.
I see :-/ Either I change keyboard, or maybe someone is able to point me to a solution that doesn't involve that?
Possible solution
Try Resco Keyboard. It's not free, but some skins have a ctrl key, that means you can use the ctrl-c and ctrl-v keycombo's like you would on a desktop PC.
Same goes for ctrl-a, ctrl-x etc.
It takes some practice to use the small keys without stylus, but I now can use it with my thumb. I've had it since my wizard. And everywhere else you can use the built-in keyboard.
If you use it a lot it may be worth the steep price ($20)
check here: http://www.resco.net/competition/default.aspx
Thank you for the input, yet spending 20$ to have copy/paste is out of my scope... especially considering that it should be one of the basic function for a SIP. Like saying that you need to pay for another electricity contract because your current one allows you to power almost everything, BUT xmas tree lights I'd rather complain with the service company (which I did on HTC site BTW) instead of paying more to have a more lively festivity!
give "finger keyboard" a try. free and written by an xda dev plus has cutcopypaste as press and hold keys along with arrows home end .com uk and such like. looks nice too.
By using QuickMenu you can have the copy, cut and paste.
Goto QuickMenu option, General tab, tick "Long-press win logo", select "Text edit".

that's in fact what I used on my old ipaq, and the first thing I'll be installing if nothing else but changing SIP helps

I did download and install "quickmenu for hd2", thanks for your suggestion! Now that's something. Maybe overrated to install all that just to have copypaste function, yet it works.
After all, for 55kb of occupied ram, and1-2% of CPU only when doing something with it, it's a good deal!
Which also came useful in another occasion where copy/paste was missing from keyboard: editing file names from within total commander... sweet!
