hello Friends you might be happy to know that the Windows 8 is really awesome, but they have to work on the Close button..
you can alt f4 or you can also grab the top of the metro app and slide it down.

I'm interested in using the shift as an ebook reader on the windows mobile side so which buttons can be used for up and down in windows mobile are of particular interest to me. The mouse left and right click buttons look like a particularly good possibility for this.
Can anyone let me know which buttons can be programed on the shift in windows mobile?
I know the touch screen can be used but if anyone has used a mobile device for ebook reading before the will know a button or scroll wheel is best for turning pages
Cheers, lovespuds
A far as I can tell none of the buttons work on WM side. Only the mode button to switch between WM and vista works on the WM side.
I am using the shift as ebook reader as well. I installed the Mobipocket reader and I am using edge of the screen to turn pages or the keyboard. When I read on the shift I turn screen so it rotated 90 degrees. Then I slide the keyboard out to only expose the first row keys when I want to turn the pages. The 3 arrow keys on the very bottom row of the keyboard work well for this. Even when using just one hand I can hold the device and still the slide the screen open/close and turn page with the same hand. It is not a nice as the joystick on my HTC X7501 but it works well enough.
Hi I am using Microsoft Reader for my Ebooks and do it the same way.
Rotate the screen and slide out the keyboar for the first row.
It would be great if we could get WM to recognise other keys, but that is something for the "The Shift Project" team when they accomplished all the other more urgent things
Meanwhile I am content with using the arrowkeys.

I just know that there is an OK button at the Right ALT works fine on WM side.
Press it to close the WM programs.
Besides, on the Left ALT, it is the Sym button, it shows the symbol Pad for you to input symbols on typing.
For reading ebooks, I think the most useful tool for scrolling up & down the page is your finger since the big screen is easy for scrolling by your fingers
THREE MORE BUTTON I FOUND:
PRESS FN + I, O, P can adjust the volume in snapvue!
Essentially, I'd like to get even more buttons. With the capacitive screen, we have the 4 hardware buttons for Home, Green & Red and the hybrid back/ok button. There's the 4 directional 'hidden' buttons and of course, the center select buttons.
When you count the scroll/zoom surface, that's 9.
THEN, add in butler and you get 4 more via swipe actions.
I'd like to see a double tap application - or possible extension to butler?
So if you double tap the Home, send, end or back buttons (not press - TAP) you can assign a link or application to them.
Also, is the center button also capacitive? put your finger on it and lights for the other buttons will come on... If so, can we turn it into a 'mouseball' of sorts?
Anyone else see a use for something like this?
GScroll has that.
You can assign programs to launch when you double tap one of the four button locations.
And it can emulate cursor keys left/right/up/down by swiping part of the capacitive area.
And it has a task switcher that activates on a certain capacitive-motion but I can't figure it out how to make it work ok .
The app is 5 bucks from Mobihand, and get the latest beta from their own forum.
Flippin sweet! Thanks!
Anyone know if the center button is capacitive?

yes it is..
OK, so is there any app that uses the center button like a sort of 'rollerball' type input? It could even work like the 'nubs' on the old Toshiba, IBM & Lenovo laptops

I haven't seen an APP for that, but the last beta of GScroll has a mouse pointer activated by the center button and is controlled by touching anywhere on any of the capacitive pads. I don't use is much though. Otherwise it' a great idea, just not sure it would work that well. Who knows?

Aw the days of the good ol' Think Pad clitoris, haha.
Windows 8 is being designed for tablet. It lacks back button and makes it difficult to be used on pc. My idea is can anyone make a onscreen back button just like Android ICS?
Move your cursor to the top left of the screen... You'll see the last app you were in and you can click on it. If you move your cursor to the top left of the screen and wait for the little preview window to pop up and then move the cursor to the bottom a bit all the programs currently running will show up. Doesn't get much easier then that I'd say!

but that is not perfect replacement for back button?
That's right the tablet got a gsensor and another hotkey update. You will find these by running the windows update as the asus site does not show them.
Also if you get the latest bios of asus's website (701) which has support for windows 8 hotkeys you end up with a tablet that all the buttons work!!!
Auto rotation / Lock now works. Volume controls show up and down in desktop an metro. Start button takes you to metro start and back to app and the keyboard button auto launches keyboard in metro and desktop woot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
G-Sensor doesn't work in RTM :/
Hi, I really miss the press and tap gesture for right click in windows 7 and it was removed from windows 8 apparently.
Is there anyway to get it back? Cuz hold and tap isnt compatiple with some old games. And I'd also love to use 3 fingers tap for middle click which was available in win 7 as well
