Hi guys
Any idea how i can do a cut, copy and paste function during editing of my contacts info? I tried to tap and hold on the selected text but no cut, copy and paste function is made available to me. Or is there any available freeware that will allow me to do this?
It's quite difficult not knowing or having this function for shifting the text between the fields as i need to re-type them out each time.
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
That's easy... ctrl+c, ctrl+v, ctrl+x. There is a reason that I LOVE my TP2 for having a Ctrl key, I use it all of the times. Contacts and Google Maps are two areas where the right click menu doesn't appear, and the keystroke shortcuts come in quite handy!

if you have a tilt 2, theres no copy and paste on the keyboard, i still havent figured out a way to map it to FN+C or FN+X or FN+V, but i just use swype onscreen keyboard to do it =X
You may could use "VitoCopyPaste.exe" to Cut, Copy and Paste. Just Google around. I also had it on my phone once.
You can use Keyboard Controller (link below) to remap many different keys. Since the Tilt2 doesn't have a control key, I suggest remapping the FN key+C for copy and FN+V for paste. You can allow keys to directly open programs and lots more - GREAT program. I can vouch for it working very well with the Tilt2.

theres no function for copy and paste on the keyboard controller, or else i would have done that already, unless someone has a solution that i dont know about
Yeah why i didn't think of that - Ctrl + X, Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V
Thanks all for the help.
Cheers!

anyone have any idea to do this for the tilt2?
if you don't have the ctrl button, the "HTC People" contacts manager seems to have left out the popup cut/copy/paste menu on tap and hold of selected text.
but if you go to the windows contacts manager, the cut/copy/paste does come up. just either go to "More" within the HTC manager, or just start up contacts manually through the program list.
i actually prefer the windows contacts manager and have disabled the HTC tab.

Pick a key you are unlikely to want and map it is the Ctrl key then you can use ctrl x ctrl c and ctrl v

I use the Keyboard Controller on a Tilt 2 and have FN + C mapped to Ctrl -c (specifically, emulate key press, key 67 [C key], with the Ctrl box checked, send to OS). I have done similar with FN + X, & FN + V. Works great as copy, cut, & paste everywhere I have tried it.
I cant select ( highlight ) text from windows live messenger..
Also its very annoying to tap on the screen, and than select: select text, to be able to highlight and copy something.. is there anything i can do, to use it like htc kaiser... being able to select the text immediately ? without all those steps?

This works for me, I have been doing this since I got my Tilt2.
I have Z,X,C,V,A mapped. Very useful.
ctrl key functionality w/o need for ctrl (or Fn) key
I have found that the keyboard controller program also allows you to do this without having to use Fn (or any other two key sequence). What you can do is assign a long key press for C, X, V to serve as copy, cut, paste by emulating CTRL-C, CTRL-X, CTRL-V, while assigning the short key press (click) to retain the default key functions (i.e., c, x, v).
Of course, you can expand on this. I applied this method to create a Fn-key-free keypad. For number 1, a single click is still an apostrophe, but long press is number 1. While the built-in option to double-click Fn is definitely more efficient when you have lots of numbers to enter, my sense is that a long key press is more convenient when you have just a few numbers to input.
And, this method also works for undo (i.e., control Z on your computer can be long press z on your tilt 2). Which is a beautiful thing.

I have a vodafone universal, and using Start-settings-buttons, it was possible to assign functions to the 2 keys on the top line of the keyboard with dashes "-" on them.
I have installed jwrights crossbow ROM and, I would like to assign these buttons.
I have searched and failed to find out about these 2 buttons (ihave found the backlight mod thread,but cant figure out about these 2)
thanks

Using any registry editor (eg. resco), go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys. The key 112 is the left "-" key, and the key 113 is the right "-" key. Open and edit to name and point them to what program you want to assign as follows:
- default: in the string box you type the name of the program you want to assign the key
- Open: in the string box you type the link to the .exe or the .lnk file of the program
i thought 112 and 113 are buttons on th etoday screen, not the hard buttons on the keyboard. the ones next to the red and green phone icons. Are these OC07 and OC08, but i am not sure
Have assigned 113 without problems but 112 (left "-") somehow became assigned to PHONE application. So now if I press green button - phone appears, if I press left "-" again phone appears. Although in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys it shows different program to be opened. Any ideas please?
p.s. after few soft-resets started working in the way it's been assigned in the registry.
Those buttons with dashes are called soft keys. So just search for soft keys and you will find an app that will enable you to assign different applications to the soft keys. Search for HACKS, you will probably find it in the hack thread.
I suggest use of PQz as a great alternative.

hi, i was wondering, can i set the comm manager to one of these soft keys? im running wm6 (crossbow) i cant find the comm manager (the little green dot on the today screen) on any of the start menu lists??

Yes you can. First step is to find the soft key CAB or files I mentioned. After installation, go to the windows folder and locate the comm manager icon and create a copy or shortcut of it at the Windows>Start Menu>Programs folder or to any folder you want.
Of course, you don't have to assign this to any soft keys, another way for the Comm Manager to show up is by pressing the Fn key and the Right arrow key simultaneously.
cheers geezer!! top man! so long little green dot, it was the only thing cluttering up my today screen! i am now fully happy with my exec!! just gotta sort out my gprs and skype settings! and then i think it'll do everything i want it to do!
ok, well, iv put the soft key applet onto my phone, then moved it into the windows directory and then soft reseted, but im a bit stuck now? how do i reasign my 2 soft keys?? please help!

Look into Start>Settings>System Tab>Here you will see the app for soft key assignment.
But before that, you need to go to Windows folder and copy the Comm Manager app and create a shortcut icon on Windows>Start Menu>Programs.
I used to be able to cut and paste in my Touch pro within sms or between sms and email.
With TP2, I am having problems. It seems that this is dis-enable. Wonder if others have similiar problems or I am missing something...
Thanks.
You can't cut&paste unless you can select text. To select text in the WinMo messaging app, click "Menu" (right soft key) and "Select text". You may now use copy&paste functions via click and hold or just Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V
you can also hold shift and use the arrow keys or in some applications tap and drag.

Yup, this is the RIGHT way to do it.
Thanks everybody for your advice! It works now.

...and keyboard has a Ctrl button for handy Ctrl-C Ctrl-V operations
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.

I had the need yesterday to do some text copying from one email to another and could not find anyway to copy/paste from the slide out keyboard.
I had to resort to using the WM keyboard layout to actually get the CTRL key to do the copy and paste.
Is there a way to do this from the slideout keyboard or even from the HTC QWERTY keyboard?
You can use the screen to do a copy/paste. Hold your finger or stylus on the screen and a menu pops up with make selection. It stops the screen from scrolling so you can highlight text. Not sure about and keyboard tricks.
Use the software from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240.
Map Func C to emulate Ctrl C, Func X to emulate Ctrl X, Func V to emulate Ctrl V, and Func A to emulate Ctrl A. Works great.
Great!
Both options are perfect! Thanks guys!
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!

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!
