Hi,
The /only/ thing I prefer on my old TouchPro and Kaiser phones was the hardware tab key, which has been removed from the new one.
Ive found a nice tool called AEKMap (http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php) which can re-map keys. It needs registering ($15) to get rid of the nag screen, but it works great.
Ive added a like
Key 00F2 k0009
which re-maps the mail envelope key to be tab. works in rdesktop, opera etc.
It looks like a very powerful utility for other uses as well, eg it can launch programs of key presses / combos etc. Im gonna have a good play later, but for now it was worth the £15 to get tab back

Hi!
Finally I find someone with a solution to this annoying problem
But I don´t understand how to remap the key.
The layot for Rhodium is not to be found.
And I have a Swedish phone, with special letters as function keys, does that mean that the solution is different as well (and I don´t want to destroy it)?
/Danne
look in the Rhodium apps, tweaks, themes, etc forum. someone wrote a remapping program & its free. i currently have my Messaging key mapped as an "OK" key

I really hate this process..
I want to get the deadkeys back and assign it to the fn+sym key.
Unfortunatly the key code of deadkeys on pro2 is not the same has other devices.
looking at the windows folder or the rom, we find the usual file responsible for the keyboard layout/keycodes. On this case et9.rhodium.www.kmap.txt and messing around with it, i can make the fn+sym do other things but i just can't find the deadkeys code.
Again looking at windows we find that the file eT9DeaKeys.txt is there !!
I'm just missing the dead key keycode to assing it to fn+sym instead of opening the symbol keyboard.
Any help/ideas ??
sorry for the noob question. What exactly is/are the deadkeys?
ctrl, shift, alt
no it's the function found on other devices like xperia , it's the "au" key.
like you press a + "au" an it gives you à or á.
The function is called deadkeys and the keycode responsible for that is 7A that the keyboard driver does not have.
I'm asked for help to try and get that back..
If "I" have success then i can map like fn+space (like on kayser) to intead of opening the xt9 menu to cicle throu other options.
Only time will tell..
Did you find any solution for this? I am also looking forward to entering accented characters just like on Kaiser.
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.

Hi!
They removed the tab-button (at least on the swedish keyboard) which I use frequently. I can´t find it in the virtual keyboard either. How do I create a hardware keyboard shortcut?
There are some other shortcuts I would like to create as well (to calender and maybe more).
Please be concrete, I don´t know how to change registry and such.
/Derik
Anybody have an idea?
The D-pad buttons act sort of like the tab button. Press the desired direction followed by the enter button to activate the filed you wish you had tabbed to.
haha

Where are the D-pad buttons on TP2? Did I miss something?
Did you mean the directional keys?
The things is that I use it within Worddocuments to make indentations (Swedish: indrag) in the text with with list bullets. So I really need a tab-button.
I´m just reviveving the thread again.
There must be some way to be able to use a tab-function? All the hightech here... It´s essential in my writing, which is the main reason I have the TP2.
Can anyone tell me how can I customise the email key on the TP2 keyboard to ok? I really miss this on the TP2 and was so useful on my TyTN II.
someone posted this. haven't tried it yet though, but i do plan on changing the Messaging button to "Ok" as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
hey people, i've been searching for over two hours on how to map the "ok" button to do what it normally does...
i'm on energy rom right now, with everything necessary installed to map keys on my att tilt 2.
what action do i map the "ok" key to?
i've searched and:
i cant find "back to previous screen"
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4754390&postcount=75)
if you map it as close window, and you click the windows key and the ok, the windows key no longer works
(forgot where i found that piece of advice)
what do i do?!
and sorry if its been answered many times, i really cant find it!
EDIT:
FOUND THE SOLUTION, at the bottom of the page. WORKS FLAWLESSLY!
Funnily enough I had to search to see what you were talking about. I assume the OK key on the keyboard.
I can only guess the best mapping would be to the OK in the upper right hand of menus for programs.
What ok button? A hardware button or a software button?
on the att tilt2 theres an "ok" button between shift and home on the keyboard.
i dont know what to map the button to in order for it to work like it supposed to in the original rom and i cant find the solution anywhere.
Bottom row from left to right:
Tilt2: shift, OK, Home, comma (mail), space
TP2: FN, Mail, SMS, comma (SYM), space
Sorry, don't think that there is a solution for mapping the OK button yet. The best you can do is to map it to minimize the current window. This is one of the reasons why I'm switching to RRE's rom, as it includes the AT&T keyboard dll. I use text/email a lot with the keyboard out and want to be able to use the ok to close the message and go back to the message list. You can only do that if the original OK functionality is present.
best bet is to use this program to do so...works great!!
