Is it possible to remap the keys on the keyboard to have different functions? For example I would like to replace the parentheses "(" and ")" with "[" and "]" and replace the OK key with send. is this possible. Im using a Tilt 2 by the way.
There is a Tilt2 keyboard fix CAB around here some where. I bet you can find it before I can. Try search.
Hope that helps.

You can change the values around by modifying the corresponding .txt file in the \windows folder according to what value you've got in hklm\software\tegic\et9\ime\keyboardlaoufiles\07FF file. For tilt2 you're probably using \windows\eT9.Rhodium.Cingular_US.kmap.txt.
If you want to modify it on your device you have to use a program that'll save specifically to unicode. Pocket word won't work. Your best bet is to copy it over to a PC, modify it in notepad, copy it back to the \windows directory, and soft-reset. It should be ~4.4kb when you've saved it. Once you're in the file it's easy enough to interpret what you're updating.
You'll want to make a backup of the original eT9 file too, because if you mess something up all the keys on your keyboard effectively turn into an "end" key.

Hi.
You could try using a registry editor to search within HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID for key IsSIPInputMethod. Then, for each one found look at the parent CLSID and you should see a string value (Default) set to the name of the input method (e.g Keyboard, Letter Recogniser, etc.) Once you find the CLSID entry for the Resco Keyboard, make a note of it, then delete it. Then find registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip and look at the string value DefaultIm to ensure that the Resco Keyboard's CLSID is not defined there - if it is, change it to be one of the other CLSIDs
I don't know if this will work, but it is probably worth a try.
@dcs
I tried looking everywhere for input metod string that was assigned to resco keyboard but non of them was for it And believe me I searched everywhere. Any other ideas? Anyone?(except hard reset ofcourse)
have you looked to see if its in your start up programs? if its there you need to remove it from start up and than you should be able to uninstall it.
Anyone know how to remap the pink T-zones hardkey to WMplayer or something else more useful?
Thanks in advance
Laotzu
same way you did it in wm5
The link file has changed. For WM5, the file was windows/short_AP1.lnk,
In WM6 Beta, the file is windows/short_IE.lnk
Open it up in your text editor and change it as you see fit.
Oh yeah, forgot that extra step. There's still a link_ap1. Fun things happen if you replace only that. IE will load, then the link_ap1 will load.
I'm still getting IE loading after I have changed Short_IE to the taskmanager. Very odd.

I don't see any short_ap1 in the windows directory...is it someplace else?
yeah, i'm not seeing short_ap1 or link_ap1

Correct, there is not short_ap1 in the Beta. I'm not seeing an option in the registry that hooks into iexplore.exe. I wonder if opening IE is hard coded into the ROM...
A short-term solution might be the following AEBPlus:
http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
This would allow you to remap other buttons as well. You could make the T-Zones Button a double-press for task manager, for example. This is free for the basic version for smartphone but the nag screen stays active, however. Also, don't go remapping key buttons because one of the bugs is that the button sometimes loses it's initial functionality (e.g. Read don't remap a soft-key if you don't know what you are doing because you can't do much of anything without having the original functionality present.) Not everything works on the Dash with this app, but it still does the job.
Got it... I just checked my WM6 and figured out what I had to do to get it working.
First, replace the short_ie.lnk with the link of your choosing. Then, also replace pie.lnk with the link of your choosing. That will get it to run the proper application that you want to run. Don't worry, replacing pie.lnk won't screw with IE at all.
Good find, Merwin!
Just to clarify what Merwin said and to hopefully avoid further questions:
1. Make a shortcut of the application that you want to replace the t-zones button application (e.g. Pocket Explorer) using ActiveSync's Explore function
2. Drag the shortcut copy to the desktop
3. Make two copies of that shortcut.
4. Rename one copy: pie
5. Rename second copy: short_ie
6. Drag both copies back to the windows folder on the device and replace the original shortcut files
No device reset is necessary.
Remap T-zones
gadgetshrink, It seems that I cannot change the files you suggested, probably because they are hard coded in ROM, as it indicates in the properties dialog box in Total Commander when I click on the e.g. Short_IE file. I have installed the Surreal App Unlock, reset but see no way to change the file attributes. I have the standard t-Mobile ROM on my Dash. I have tried to delete the files and to edit them and to cut and paste from Word Pad. No luck. Seems that the files need to be opened to be able to change them.

Hi:
Is there a shortkey to kill a running app? not just minimize it.
Thanks.
nope.. just use a task manager..
I did remap a key (my T-Zones) so that it would open the task manager, then I could close apps from there or just switch apps.

I'm looking to do that. I know how to edit short keys but I don't know the exact text to remap the key to task manager. Could you copy your settings and post em here? Thanks!

Look for short_IE.lnk in your windows folder and add the path to the program inside quotation marks.
Example:
32#"\Program Files\Program Folder\program.exe"

I'm not seeing the short_IE.lnk file in the windows folder. I see all the other .lnk, just not the one mentioned.
Turns out it seems to be a new problem with the new HTC rom. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.
I thought you were on the T-Mobile ROM when u said T-Zones key. Im not sure which key the T-Zones key is on an HTC branded device. If you can find that out maybe that'll help you seek out that .lnk file.
i'm running the new htc rom and i had a short_IE.lnk file.
at any rate, find the jogger settings program if you're still having trouble. part of that program is that you can reassign your tzones key.

I've done some extensive searches and can't locate this "jogger settings program" do you have the cab file? Do you know the exact name of the program?
Thank you.
I have the same ROM(Love it)
I just added Task Manager to a speed dial.
Works for me
If you guys are looking for the t-zones key after the HTC ROM change it is
Windows\iexplore.exe
for some reason though i had to use total commander and then assing the key on the smart toolkit that im using.
when i had the t-mobile rom i was just able to change it with total commander.
i am using the t-zones key for the Tornado low light program.
Just thought I'd share...
The images you need to access/edit for the keypad replace (or whatever you want to call it where you get the standard phone key images when you're dialing and/or on a call) are as follows:
cprogback_land.png
and
ms_mobile.gif
Both located in the /windows dir.
The ms_mobile.gif file is 240 wide for some reason, so unless you want it to distort you key image you'll wanna widen it to 320.
These filenames are different from in the wm6 rom so I thought I'd share and save others the trouble of searching for them as I did!
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.

thanks...using your program fixed the problem for me...setting as tab fn+t using your program make the tab work as it should, changing beetween fields.

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.
