Use the volume button to navigate

I do not need the volume button, but would like to use it to Scroll up/down. How can I do that??

On a related note, is there any way to remap the phone keys to be used by other software? Two keys are really too little (cant even control WMP properly)
Thx

Up/Down control

I've noticed that i rarely ever use the up/down slider on the phone. I only use it to press UP to make sure the volume is all the way UP. So i was thinking, how do i change it so i can use it to scroll when using Opera/PIE or Reading an Ebook. I know has something to do with hardware button mapping but don't know where to start.

Use AE button mapper.
You can use VITO button mapper......cheers

Volume control as scroll wheel

Hi,
Is it possible to use the volume control as a scroll wheel (like in blackberry ).
I rarely use the volume knob but it would have been amazing if we could use it to scroll through the documents.

Can't you use the dpad?

dpad works fine.
I feel a scroll bar will be more handy the way for single handed operations.
Just wanted to check if this is workable and if someone has done this before.

Ok, I've undestood...
I said "use Dpad" because I've got a Touch, so it is the easiest way to scroll pages... It is central and can be used by one hand...
I don't know how other dpads are...

You can try AEBPlus (Google it), a program which allows you to assign any hard key to almost any function. I transformed my Touch's volume keys to a scroll wheel with it.

Heya.
There was an App. called Smartskey for the wizard that made the Volume keys scroll and the a long press of the Left Softkey Start Menu and a long press of the Right softkey and OK button.

Should work for you as it works on my Touch Dual.

This works great mate. Thanks a ton.
Normal scroll would have been perfect (Instead of Page Up/down) but this is real good.

PLEASE help assigning a button

When i go under START - SETTINGS- BUTTONS, there is no button to assign, I want to assign MS VoICE Command ANYWHERE on a HARD Button. Tried AE Button and Hbutton, no success...please help

I use SortInchKey and it works perfect on my Volume up and down keys.

TP2 button remap?

Just got this phone and I really like it so far...but I really miss the Dpad and arrow keys..can anyone point me in the direction of a good button remapper? I was thinking about changing the End key to an Enter key if possible.

I use VolDpad to replace the dPad using the volume control hardware keys (see the first post in the sticky thread in this forum). I've seen posts about remapping the keyboard keys, but that's not something i've looked into.
As a side note, I've remapped the PTT button using the defult Settings -> Personal -> Buttons path (Tilt2) and Advanced Configuration Tool will allow a fair bit of key remapping (menu -> more settings -> somethingorother) -- sorry, too lazy at the moment to find the link to this app.

Don't bother with VolDPad and use the keyboard remapper linked above. It's much more configurable and it works with all apps (eg, click and hold with VolDpad did not work in Opera Mini and using it in my call history caused it to scroll endlessly, requiring a hard reboot). The keyboard remapper program lets you configure ALL keys including the volume buttons and the end & enter keys, so there's no point in using VolDpad.
I have:
Vol Up click - up
Vol Up dbl click - left
Vol Up trpl click - back
Vol Up long press - repeat up
Vol Down click - down
Vol Down dbl click - right
Vol Down trpl click - select
Vol Down long press - repeat down
triple click Home - toggle bluetooth
triple click Back - toggle wifi
long press Back - vol up (this basically enables the volume control with I can raise and lower with the up and down keys mapped to volume keys)
FN + C - ctrl C
FN + V - ctrl V
FN + X - ctrl W
FN + Z - alt F4
FN + Q - close open window
FN + Mail - Alt Enter
It's really an amazing app.
