Remapping keyboard

Hi
Is there any way to remap the keys on the slide-out keyboard? I want a £ symbol, not the $ symbol, and to enter it I have to get the stylus out and use either the pop-up keyboard or transcriber.
Also, is there any way of choosing which symbols appear on the transcriber pop-up symbol bar, and remapping the stroke used in transcriber for inserting a space? I'm used to the P900 where a stroke left to right would enter a space, just as in the 'letter recogniser' input method under windows. Getting used to the down then across stroke is annoying.
Cheers

There seems to be a method floating around here...
In the interim, assuming your not entering £ symbols constantly, the following keystrokes will get your desired output:
(DOT=bottom left key)
DOT <G> DOT <SPACE> DOT <SPACE>

Its very easy to get the £ on the Wizard. Just type a $ sign, then hold the dot and push the space bar twice. Viola!

there must be a way of making the £ sign the default!!!

Its weird how there are so many versions of HTC products that are all subtly different... on the O2 XDA Mini S you have both - the "$" is mapped to F, and "£" is the V key.
If that helps
(probably not)

na didnt help just gives me a + sign thanks any way.
Does anyone know of a software to remap the keyboard??

and use AEKmap on that link

For those having trouble working the Sym key (dot-letter-dotHold-Sym to cycle through alternatives), please keep in mind that it only works in certain applications. For example, it works fine in Pocket Word - but it doesn't work in the Notes application; on my Qtek9100 anyway

Onscreen pop-up keyboard

Is there any way to disable the pop-up keyboard? I have no need for it, I have a keyboard on my exec :roll:

Install phm tools and use the external keyboard SIP.

You could follow vijay's suggestion, but you should also find that in normal use (i.e. if you're using the hardware keyboard) the SIP input thing never appears unless you tap its icon on the screen.
The system is smart: if the SIP keyboard appears when your cursor enters a text input field then just ignore it and use the hardware keyboard. (Don't tap the screen to clear the SIP!) Once you've started using the hardware KB the SIP KB won't appear again until you tap the SIP icon to raise it.
If you tap the SIP icon to hide the SIP before you start typing on the hardware KB, the SIP will still appear next time you enter a text field.
The SIP on my Exec hasn't appeared on screen in days. This behaviour is perfect IMHO, so well done Microsoft!

Quick tip for keyboard users

I was thinking it would be nice if there was someway to select text using the keyboard (like on a desktop PC) and lo and behold if you hold the Shift (Caps) key down and use the arrow keys it does select text.
Hurrah!

genius!

There's a great guy, Tom_Hiro255, who made this app http://www.nicque.com/PQz/ that allows you to use shortcuts and all sorts of other functions, check it out.
The post is, I believe, either in Universal or Blue Angel...it works on wm5.

Awsome tip. =)

Perhaps this works for you?
Double tap the SHIFT key on the SIP keyboard
Does not work for every app.
Also found ShiftLock values in two SIP modes.
But I don't think they make a difference.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}]
"ShiftLock"=dword:1
"KBMode"=dword:5
@="Keyboard"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429690-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}]
"ShiftLock"=dword:0
"Desc"="With Letter Recognizer you can input natural character strokes as well as strokes you may have learned using Jot® from CIC."
"Accents"=dword:0

Request for PocketCM Keyboard :-)

I love PocketCM Keyboard!
But i also love the way you can "slide" with the built in keyboard (tap "b" and slide up = B, or tap any letter and slide right for a space, slide down for enter etc....)
Any way to incorporate this feature into the PocketCM Keyboard?
Thanks alot!!!

good thinking. I second this feature

It's been mentioned before, difficult to do with finger/thumb.

and you have to choose between trigger on release (wich make it usable with finger) and gesture. (how to make distinction between typing D and typing e by pressing d then fixing it to e).
If you love gesture, pcmk is probably not the solution.
However, some people made layout with all key as symbol pad, so pressing d for a given amount of time (default 250ms) show capital letter.

Hi, tene, would it be possible to have the option to have multiple boxes pop up when you hit a letter, C c (space) or whatever symbol is under the letter. They would have to be in transparent boxes circling as best they can, you gesture in the direction of your chosen C or c to select it. No gesture, just the tap, and the default letter is typed. Hope you can imagine what I so poorly expressed.

That wouldn't make it faster to type. There still needs to be a reasonable delay between pressing a showing something else (symbol pad, or what you call a "transparent boxes circling").
Also again, try to make gesture with your finger, you'll realise how bad it works

Talk to Type?

Is there a program to replace the keyboard function with voice recognition? They already have voice recognition in the Live Search program and it works surprisingly well. It would be sweet to be able to just have it type what you say in a text message instead of having to use the keyboard or transcriber or touching it at all.
