Hello,
Wondering if anyone figured out a way to map an esc key. It's not on the on screen keyboard or on the physical one. It'd be nice to have to I can do things in vi : (
AGREED
In addition to an ESC I would like to have a backslash key \
since this is running a Microsoft OS a backslash would be very nice to have when working in command prompt especially on remote computers!!!!!
The ESC key is actually a Ctrl-[ (ASCII code 0x1B). There's a keymapping program to fix the Tilt 2 "OK" key around here; maybe that program would assist you in mapping a key.
If you're using VimCE, I think you have to use Ctr-C instead of Escape anyway. Check out the 'Problems' section in the documentation.
I agree, however, that it's still useful to have a way of dealing with Escape, Tab and such keys.

Maybe it depends on what TP2 version you're running...but on the TMo TP2 the backslash \ is available with the physical keyboard via SYM which pops up lots of symbols.
And it's available on the on-screen key board (SIP) on the second numeric keyboard.
what would esc serve?

If you're using, Remote Desktop, VNC or any remote terminal program it can be useful depending on what remote program you're running.
The Keyboard Remapper works great on my Tilt2:

I use it for SSH to map OK as Ctrl, and FN+OK as Esc.

i want to be able to use pocket putty to ssh into linux servers at work when stuff breaks. in the vi text editor, you have to use the esc key to exit input mode
thanks for the suggestions, i'll look into them

I want to use my Universal for remote management of UNIX systems while I'm walking around the data centre. Unfortunately the lack of a ctrl key makes this impossible (without bringing up the virtual keyboard).
I very rarely use the caps-lock key or the "mail" key so these would be ideal candidates for a remap. Has anyone got any information about how I would go about hacking the key maps or keyboard driver to remap the functions of these keys?
Try the program AEKMap from http://ae.inc.ru
I never used it under WM5.
Works very well but doesn't seem to be able to send the control key 0011
Shame, because this would have been ideal.
you can try to contact its author. Maybe he would fix the program.
Yes, AEKMap now hooks and generates Ctrl'ed key combinations. And other useful features appears since AEKMap release. See them on http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php
Hello,
It has been quite a while, but how did you manage with AEKMap to remap the "mail"-key to the ctrl-key? I tried to generate an .AEK file, but seemingly I have no idee what to exactly write in there and I only get an error message.
tnx, fortaq
I accidently cracked my driver cd. Anybody has a copy of the driver that i can copy? thankyou
Stowaway XT Keyboard Driver for all xda pda
^-^
install this tiny task switcher (can be assigned to a hardware button, I use the recorder as I hate pressing it & accidentally starting a new voice note!).. and not only will the key Alt-Tab between applications, BUT
if you Alt-Tab with your Stowaway XT, it will coolswitch between all running apps and open windows, just like PC-based Windows!
Joe
Mabey someone has the same driver but for WM 6.1?
it doesn't works??
i've already installed driver above, but it still not working . i press all the button, but there's no respond . but the program is already in my pocket pc . someone help me please ? i'm using o2 XDA II but i've upgrade it to WM 5
yes...it doesn't work
Hi, same as me.
As I upgraded my PDA to WM5 I'm not able to see working it again!.
Good news
I've got it.
Check this URL:
http://corporate.igo.com/support/Drivers.asp?ManufacturerID=44&ModelID=212
(click on Stowaway Sierra driver that fits on your language).
I've checked with the spanish one... I extracted the cab file and copied on my SD card. Once done I've executed on my PDA, I've selected the serial option, double soft reset.... And now it works.
Hope you too!

Thank you Joe, brillant little app
Is there an application that allows you to bind keys for specific words. For example, on my Sony PEG UX-50, I had my CTRL + P keys bound to my password, so all I had to do is click the appropriate field and then press those two keys simultaneously.
C'mon guys. There has to be an application that allows you to bind words to shortcuts. If Palm had it, WM should definetely have it.

Sup yo.
Mostlikely a PPC app exists but very few of those apps are moved to SMartphone. WHich sucks greatly.

I don't even know what I would search for. JAm, you remember the ability in the Palm OS to do this right? I wonder why PPC and WM didn't adopt it into their OS.
Folks,
Is there access to a command line on the (Tmobile) HTC Touch Pro 2? I am wondering if I can emulate a DOS prompt (or Linux prompt). I read there's a program called Dos Box PPC (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-dosboxppc-v0-63.html), but I am not sure if it would work with Windows Mobile 6.1.
Is there any kind of command prompt access?
Thanks
What is it that you want to do? I've done this back in the WinMobile 2003 days and it wasn't all that useful. I used it to set up stunnel for encryption I think.
Ever since I installed pocket putty I've had no need to do this. Gives you a command prompt on a real computer.

Try PocketConsole (disable TouchFlo first!!!)
or
try searching for BOCHS - I got this working and got Windows 95 running on it.
What is cool about Touch Pro2 is that when you disable TouchFlo you have 100MB of program memory, so you allocate 64MB to Bochs and you have pretty good virtual PC on your phone
You need VGAKEY to be able to press F12 and F5 in Bochs (to enable Mouse support via touchscreen and to go fullscreen). Enter key on hardware keydoard the acts as single/double mouse click.
I am looking to do things like view the raw hardware architecture, run commands which would refresh my IP address (like "ipconfig" in DOS), and do low-level stuff like that.
Any idea if this is possible?
schriss,
Were you able to get network/internet access in Windows 95? (As in, binding the virtual LAN card in Windows 95 to the phone's WLAN or G3 card?
Thanks in advance

Easy. VxIPConfig:
http://www.cambridgevx.com
VxUtil may interest you as well (ping, DNS etc etc):
http://www.cambridgevx.com
It looks like VxIPConfig and VxUtil are graphic programs (I'm sure they are excellent), but I am looking for a more low-level way of adjusting this info, such as using the command prompt.
Any other ideas?

Are you thinking about adjusting routing etc? There isn't much you can do with ipconfig.
As the device is not designed with a command line you'd need a special app for every command you wanted. It wouldn't be "raw" access, it would be just faking it.
As someone else said, PocketConsole is your best bet. But I don't think it provides ipconfig or net commands, I may be wrong though.

Alternatively I believe there are a few scripting utils if running sequences of apps is your goal.
For really really low level hardware, I think you should also look into HaRET (by the way: it s a command line)
Re the other question: I was only able to install network card in Windows 95, but then started looking into Android, so... gave up
Hey all. I tried almost every free app on market place namely connectbot and vx connectbot. I tried using the samsung captivate custom keymap and it works. Just wondering any other clients that works with our keyboard that lacks the tab, ctrl, and alt keys. Any suggestions on another app or if we can modify apps or write scripts to add the key codes. I seen the debug settings in VX Connectbot for printing key codes but im not sure how to make use of the codes.
Any suggestions would be cool. In marketplace reviews people recommend for their devices without keyboards to use hackers keyboard because it has all the keys but i find poking keys is too slow for administrating multiple remote ssh servers on a daily bases. Im still learning how to swype using both swype and touchpal(soft keyboard with similar tech to swype) I see some potential in swyping after i add a bunch of the keys i use most into my dictionary files and i would love to speed up my words per minute with accuracy in mind. What are you guys with the epic 4g using in terms of hardware and software keyboards with remote ssh in mind.
I would be interested in something like this as well. I use the dropbear ssh client inside of terminal emulator. The Terminal emulator app uses the vol-down button as ctrl, (so vol-down + c = ctrl-c), but I would love to have a tab key.
