Keyboard Editing - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hello,
I dont suppose there is some registry edit that I can do to make the little Internet Explorer key (on the pull-down keyboard) a "control" key instead? Man that would simply rule.

Read WIKI, there was the registry key you seek

yeah. I finally changed the T-zones key to something useful: IE!
where do I find these links?
i can only find the short_camera.lnk
i can't find the faq.
i have the htc s620 and what the messaging key to run a different program?!
Same problem
ZIt seems the Dash and 2620 have a lot of diferences. I can't find any keys .lnk files to chane the keys--I wouls like a task manager wehere ie is.
Also - the htc s620 does not have the text key hold and switch character function (which is really handy) and there is no t9 ot t9x on the s620.
Frustrating
but this hold functionality you can achieve with 3rd party tools.
at my s620 i only have the short_camera.lnk

Can someone look up a registry entry

I accidentally deleted the registry key in 113. Can some one look on their dash and give me the info
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
Home
keys
113
Can you please give me the info that is there. keys and values so i can put back.
I believe there were two things here. One of them said (right menu)
I do not have any entry for 113. There is no "Keys" entry at all.
I do not have that key too.
Name - (Default)
Data Type - String
Data - (value not set)
I was afraid this would happen
Is there a home key in Microsoft? If yes what happens if you select it?
I am running wm6 on a Tmobile dash which might have something to do with it

This sounds like a touch screen phone, not an Excalibur (non-touch screen).

I have this key in a Treo 750, but not in the Dash.
may have found it
I think it had something to do with a program called Right Menu Editor. I reinstalled it and it fixed the problem. I tried the program didn't think I liked it.then I tried to remove it (Good Luck trying to remove this program) Now that I have it back on my Dash and have figured out how to use it I like it. Thanks for the help folks

Softkey Remap not possibly!

Dear Forum,
I have a HTC Touch Diamond. Successfuly Flashed to: 1.93.407.1 GER
Everything works fine, just the 2 Softkys on home are phone for the left and programs for the right.
I have tried to change with different Programs, also in registry, but in registry there are no values for the keys. So I would have the contacts on the left and com manager on the right.
Anyone could help me please to change the remaps?
I have tried almost all, the search have shown me, but without success!
Please help

Try SSmaPA
I Installed the program, but have no idea, how to change the softkey settings... How this will work?

I think SSmaPA is not intended for that. I use it to remap the tabs of HTC Home Touch Flo (for example, i prefer to open IExplore instead of Opera, when licking on Browser tab)
To do waht you want search the forum for a thread named somithing like : "manila teaks" or similar
You have to work on registry: HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila ... and then writing what you want for HomeLSKPath, HomeLSKText, HomeRSKPath and HomeRSKText
You find it on that thread. Good luck
set the path to link to the comm and contacts shortcuts in your start menu. Device/Windows/Start menu/... something like that.

NB - Bad idea to lick the browser tab licking on tab may cause undesired system behavior LOL

Change a keyboard button to TAB

Is there a way to change a button on the keyboard (for example, the mail button) to TAB?
That way, we could press TAB to move from form to form when filling them out in a browser.
But most importantly, we could now use the ALT + TAB shortcut to switch between apps when in landscape mode?
Any suggestions?
The up/down arrow keys move the cursor from field to field.
Alt+tab would be nice but which key are you remapping to be the Alt key?
I've also posted on a similar topic, and a solution seems to be to modify the keymap files in the Windows folder.
See here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537818
The files are called like :
eT9.Rhodium.XXXX.kmap.txt
and for France, it is eT9.Rhodium.040C.kmap.txt. This was easy to find because it's the only AZERTY one, I don't know how you find the right one otherwise.
I tried for my "ç" problem (have "FN" + "c" give "ç"), and it works. I think it will work for "tab" instead of "message" (what a totally useless button...). You just need to know the "OX" code tab I think
On the way past, thanks to those you hepled me find this... Thanks to this, I can map many usefull buttons (as "FN" is free for about 10 keys, that gives me 10 free buttons to set).

I already have an ALT key as I lack a Fn key so I just need something for TAB

How do you change it to a shortcut to an application or a function like TAB?

The Tab key should be 0x09.
However, mapping Tab to the 'useless' message button does not work for me - anyone successful in doing that?

That's what I thought but tried mapping it and no luck on my end as well.

There is no function in Windows Mobile as "ALT+TAB", set up your vain. U have to find a task manager program, which is a sign shortcut, and list a task menu.​

I remembered doing this when I had the HTC Universal. That device had both the TAB and ALT button which was what made it possible and why I wanted to replicate it.

TAB key missing

Hi all
I've come over from the TP to the TP2 and I'm really missing the TAB key on the keyboard. Used it a bit. Is there anyway to map another key (maybe via FN) to perform the TAB function?
If you are just looking to move your text cursor between fields, the directional arrow buttons will do the job.

I must maybe try that again... I've tried it before but it didn't always work.
Nope it doesn't work... problem is that when I'm in a block that has figures in it it will go forward in the same block instead of going to the next block. Anyone else with same other ideas?
take a look here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/ChangingKeyboardLayout
edit the file eT9.Rhodium.409.kmap.txt this way:
change this row:
{T T T T T 0x04}
in this row:
{T T T 0x09 0x09 0x04}
save the file as unicode and copy it to windows folder
now for tab key just type FN + T
Think I'm missing something. I've looked at the registry key and it says I'm using: eT9.Rhodium.www.kmap.txt but when I change this file absolutely nothing happens?? Should I still be chaning: eT9.Rhodium.409.kmap.txt although this is not the one according to my registry?
i did this mod time ago, but in my old touch pro the tab key did change between input fields, in touch pro 2 it only add a bounch of spaces (like when in text insertion) and doesn't switch fields...
is there a way to change the behaviour?
Need a Tab Button on touch pro2...
I have the same problem i need a tab button. I read in another thread how they remapped the Fn+t to = the tab but i dont think it is for the touch pro2
when i load the (eT9.Rhodium.www.kmap.txt) file nothing happeans. i did read in the text you have to change it to a unicode file but i couldn't figure out how to do that. Also many people have replied that you can use the arrow keys but as stated by "pieterbotes" if you are in a field for Example "typing in your name" you cannot move to another field for example " your password" with the arrow keys it the same thing on a Pc Keyboard only a tab button will allow you to do that. So if any of the great minds on this site have a answer it would be greatly appricated.
And does anyone agree that fn+q would be better than fn+t since the q is close to where the tab would be?
Thank You.
Duane
Don't know if you're interested, but i've found that Keyboard Config is pretty useful for stuff like this.

Could you please copy and paste here the eT9.Rhodium.409.kmap.txt file content?
This .txt file is located in /Windows folder... check also if it exist another eT9...txt file...
I'm interested notably in this row: {T T T x x 0x04} (what's instead X?)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
it' {T T T 0x09 0x09 0x04}
but i edited it.
in that way you have the tab key but it add spaces and does not change fields..
using the key remapper instead and sendink the keystroke to the os works as expected...
That program works brilliant. Thanks.
