I love my TP2 but really miss the tab key. I have seen a hack somewhere that adds CTRL-T for tab, but also adds norwegian characters which I do not want to do just in case!
Can someone point me to mapping a tab key?
If you're looking to use the Tab key to switch between text fields, you can just use the arrow keys...
damn, how easy? Thanks, my sanity is returning!

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)?

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
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.

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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

Hi all,
I currently have a Tytn II but and thinking of upgrading to a Touch Pro II. One of the things that annoys me most about my current phone is that there doesn't appear to be an easy way to type accented characters one handed. I need to do this a lot in a hurry, e.g. to get bus times off the internet in stockholm. To type ä I need to press 5 keys! A, Fn, space, Fn, space, Fn, space, Fn, space.
Is the touch pro II any better for this? Maybe there is even a way I don't know about on the Tytn II?
Cheers!

If you use the hardware keyboard, you'll have to select the accented letter through the symbols screen which is quite a hassle. But if you use the on-screen soft keyboard, it's quite easy. You just tap and hold on "a" and then slide horizontally to select "ä".
Thanks for the reply! Is it really feasibly to do that with the thumb of the hand you're holding the phone with (only way to type one handed really). Cos I know it isn't really on the tytn II, the soft keypad symbols are too small. But I guess the tp2 might be improved...
Yes, it's very easy to do with the thumb one-handed.
Check out this video at the 8:00 mark. It's showing the HTC Hero, but the TP2 keyboard works the same. This way, you'll get an idea of what I'm talking about.
Cheers!
This wasn't the deciding factor... but one of them, and I ordered one now!
Ben
Sorry to ask what maybe is obvious, but I can't find it. Is there a TAB key on the TP2, or a way of moving forward several spaces at a time when entering text?
Thanks
No but you can map a key to emulate the tab using the keyboard driver/controller http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
