Getting the missing tab key back for $15

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 hate the fn + sym key... lets get the deadkeys back !

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.

dead-cycling

I ask this again, as my question was embedded in my other posts :
How do you get dead cycling to work ? On my TyTN, when writing an email for example, if I type "e" then "Fn" + "Space" it used to role through the "special caracters", "e"->"é"->"è"->"ê".
Looking at the "eT9DeadKeys.txt" file it looks like this should also work on TP2. What's the key combinbation to make it work ?
Format:
// c0, c1, c2, c3,..ck, where
// characters on the first column (c0), trigger the dead-cycling
// (c1,...,c3,c1..) when Symb + [first column character] on SP,
// or Fn + Space (PPC) and the current character macthes character
// on the first column.
Thanks

Does this no longer exist on TP2 ? It worked on TyTN. Does anyone know how to make it work on TP2.
Thanks for help, I find this feature really useful, it would be a shame to have lost it.

Not sure if it works as I haven't got one yet... but I read that if you pressed and held a key the alternates for that letter would show up (i.e. the accented variants).
give it a try,
wait, here's the bit from the manual:
To enter accented characters
1. Tap and hold a key with accent options (for example, vowels) to display the accented characters bar.
2. Slide your finger left or right on the screen to select the accented character you want to enter.
3. When you have selected the character, release your finger to enter it.
Tip You can also use the Numeric and Symbol mode to enter accented characters.
For more information, see “Using Numeric and Symbol Mode” in this chapter for details.

Thanks, but that is not exactly it... what you describe is on the virtual keyboard, and it works fine (tap and hold then move your thumb onto the one you want and finally realse).
Unfortunatly, this doesn't work on the physical keyboard. If you hold key pressed, it simply repeats it.
Surely some one can say whether this has simply been lost between TyTN and TP2.
Does no one use this feature on TyTN ? I found it great, just type the caracter you want then "Fn"+"Space" to get all the "accent" versions. It alos worked for "(" -> "[" -> "{", and other similar, virtually, you could get any symbol without ever using the symbol pad.
Has any one else noticed this has gone missing between TyTN and TP2 ???

Incorrect key of physical keyboard

Whenever I hit the FN + J key to get a colon ), it gives me a slash instead (/). Anybody know why? How do I reset the physical keyboard back to defaults?
Thanks.

Nevermind, fixed it. I had made the manual reg changes to use classic word completion. I re-imported my exported reg file before the changes and my keyboard is OK now.

Anyway to map Ctrl key in combination with another key?

I have the keyboard configurator installed and a GSM model TP2, so I have a Control key already on the keyboard.
I'm just wondering if there is a way to map the combination of the Ctrl key with another, let's say if I wanted to map Ctrl + 4 = Close Window.
Thanks in advance!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, there is not an easy way to do that, but there IS an easy way to map the Function/Alt key with another.
When you select 'add key' in the keyboard configurator check the box that says "combine with Function key". There you go, I hope that helps!
