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

JASJAR: For Easy Use...

another experince that i want to share. to make it easy while using the two keys and the keyboard. you can use Hot Keys for example:
at File Explorer if you want to copy file press menu key then press "i" button then press "C" button.
thats all :lol:

Wish they had put a "ctrl" key on the keyboard though. The JASJAR is no use with Putty for controlling *nix machines without being able to do ctrl+c or ctrl+d etc.

I agree, a CTRL key would be useful. Perhaps it's possible to remap a key on the keyboard to perform the functions of CTRL? For example, I never use the caps lock key so that would be ideal. Perhaps I'll look into this, been playing with the .NET compact framework quite a lot recently.

I had a try with AEKMap but it couldn't send the correct key code.
The code for ctrl is 0011

If you could figure this out you'd be my hero. The lack of a ctrl key is bugging me.

how to remap the keyboard buttons?

some of my keyboard doesn;t correspond to what the been printed?
any chance to remap it?

That's some excellent question. I know I saw a prg for the PDA2K.. but not for the JJ. I would love to Remap the 'SYM' keyboard button to CTRL or ALT... I know there's a program that may simulate certain keys.. but you need a way to MAP the keyboard button to execute it (i think..mm)

The PQz program does this (and more) very nicely!

PocketPutty and TAB key

I'm a new HD2 user and is my first windows mobile based smartphone.
The smartphone will be used to administer several unix servers (using ssh and pocketputty) but i'm not able to find any keyboard with TAB Key (or ESC key), I've only been able to find the CTRL key in SPB Keyboard.
Please, any hint is more than welcome
Regards,

You could get a bluetooth keyboard - ctrl and tab work fine for me. They should be pretty cheap on eBay.

Thanks for the suggestion, but i'll use the HD2 for quick access or bug fixing while i'm out of the office and it would be great if i don't have to carry an additional keyboard.
Please, anyone knows any software keyboard with these keys?

2cugel: Try to use Token2Shell instead PocketPutty. It has onscreen keybar for all special keys like Tab, Esc, PgUp/Down, Ctr, Alt and all Fx keys.
Also it has build-in SSH file browser and many other great functions.
Hope it help.

Solved
Finally solved with swype, space long press send the tab signal.

[Q] Keyboard with Ctrl, Alt and Tab?

I am searching for a software keyboard for Windows Mobile 6.1 which has Ctrl, Alt and Tab keys. I need this for PocketPuTTY. The PocketPuTTY website contains a screenshot which shows such a keyboard, unfortunately I can't find that keyboard anywhere.
pocketputty.net/images/PocketPuTTY.gif (Sry, forum doesn't let me post links)
I searched for other SSH clients and hoped that there would be some which have other options of inputting those keys, but was not able to find one. The closest thing I could find was Mocha Telnet but that only contains Ctrl and no Alt key.

Are you really sure the Resco Keyboard supports the Alt key? I have not installed it yet, because I could not find a single screenshot or even mentioning in a text of an Alt key.
