I find it frustrating when I've been working in the keyboard that to accept it or close it down that I have to move up to the top right of the touch screen.
Is there a way to do it from the keyboard (my old mda 2 had its own ok button). Assuming not can code be written that does the job via the Fn key. Say Fn then X.
you can probably use rhodium keyboard controller and map something. everyone swears by that program but i never got it working. the att version has an ok button anyway.
Of course the hardware button on the front of the phone does "Ok" but if you want to specifically close, yes you need something else.. I still use AEButtonPlus myself for stuff like that, but the keyboard controller would likely be able to do it too.
"Rhodium keyboard controller" works excellent!
And yes, it is possible to remap so that a button works simililar to an "Ok"-button. I use the letter-symbol-button as "Ok". The Ok often works as closing the program ("x").
I haven´t found anything corresonding to "x" but haven´t really missed it either with the above solution. But it would be interesting to know it there i such a function.
Good luck!

hi guys , i know this might seem a strange question but like most my stylus is loose in the holder and i sometimes need to use the keyboard to do most things on the unit and i cant find anywhere that activates the start option on the screen. I have done it by accident once but nothing since. i have checked the manual and it mentions it no where all operations seem to be around the stylus?
does anyone know what key combination it is ?
I have a 02 phone and unlike tmobile which has a one of the 4 buttons on front setup to do this as one of the defaults.
cheers in advance
It should be ctrl+escape on a full keyboard. It might also be enabled by the windows or context menu keys, not sure what your keyboard looks like.
You can use my VJKeypress to get this as well. I think it's keycode 91, not sure, check my website.

Why not assign one of the hardware buttons to do this, each one can have a duel function assigned either a tap or hold, according to the phone, in reality this doesn't work (unless anyone knows different - latest O2 ROM - not messed around with), whatever you set for a tap is also carried accross to the hold function, go to settings and locate the power buttons icon select it, then select the button you want (ok for example) then assign the <Start Menu> from the drop down box, press OK, the device might want a soft reset (mine did when I just tried this), when it comes back up hit the assigned button, and use the four way thumb control to navigate through the menus, it saves sliding out the keyboard and it becoming loose - Mike
cheers for this when i tried to reassign buttons before like the camera it wouldnt let me change them ..i hate the camera button getting accidently caught same as the record one as well.
cheers for the advance will do that would just like to know for my own peace of mind as well how to use the keyboard to do it, it should be possible.
Hello, I was wondering if there's anyway i could press and hold on to 2 buttons simultaneously for my Universal (Dopod 900)
was playing some games till i've realised that i could only hold on to 1 button at a time. (eg. i can only hold Up or Left instead of moving diagonally)
searched for "keyboard fix/hack" in this forum as well as modaco's forum but having no results, tried 6700's multipress hack and it didn't work as well.
any clues will be appreciated. thanks.
it is possible, as you can press the function or shift keys and another one at the same time
yes, but however, it doesn't work on games. that require any two keys other than function or shift key to be pressed simultaneously. then again, i'll be googling around for a fix.
It's been discussed on here before, and IIRC the people with knowledge of the Universal's hardware said that this was a limitation of the Universal's keyboard driver. Unless someone is willing to attempt to write a new keyboard driver (nobody was last time) this will always be a limitation.
Note that you can press a keyboard key and another button (e.g. the backlight button, or direction keys next to the screen) at the same time, which is awkward but does allow you to do multiple keypresses in games (with some practice!)
I think a better approach for the universal would be a macro-like program that allows one keypress to act as more than one. So, for example, you could program 'E' to be 'WD', 'C' to be 'DX' etc. and so give you an 8 direction d-pad. Maybe there's already some software out there that can do that, I don't know...
was looking for something like that as well. so far with no valid.
Hi,
I have a German htc Touch Pro 2 (from O2) and I am still using the ROM it came with.
After a bit of tweaking, it is working great and there are a few minor tweaks I have not worked out how to do yet even after searching this forum.
1. After previously having the Hermes (Trion) and Artemis (Orbit) phones with lots of programmable keys, I find it a setback to only have one such key on the TP2 (hold call button). I am looking for a way of at least adding the Windows key to the list of programmable buttons (preferably both normal and hold modes). Being able to reprogramme the up/down buttons would be great as well (with hold mode).
2. On the main keyboard, the Ctrl key appears to me to be underused. I would like to use ctrl-T (or ctrl-messaging) as a tab-key - a button sadly omitted on the otherwise excellent keyboard.
Is there a registry hack to do this?
I currently have the hold phone key mapped to "messaging" so that I can easily switch messaging accounts when viewing my email. Holding the Windows key would be used by me to activate Microsoft Voice Command 1.6.
Additionally, I noticed that htc has omitted the Google Maps page on Touch Flow. Can this be hacked back in?
Regards
Peter
Good question
I was looking for this answer myself. So far I haven't found anything, but I'm still looking.
I am in the need of something like that, too.
I have a German-Version of Touch Pro2, everything is standard. The only thing I want this device to do is to type in russian (with the hardware keyboard).
But I guess thats not really your concern, Peter Walker.
However, I would appreciate any help.

You could try the Rhodium Keyboard Controller found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240. It lets you reconfigure all hardware keys.
Okay so recently I scored my G2. Had it about 2 weeks and then I rooted. I have my long hold search key set to quickdesk. It works perfectly while my physical keyboard is closed and slid in using the touch search button(the last one along the four touch keys at the bottom of the phone near the trackpad). One day I wanted to try holding the search key on my physical keyboard to see if it would pop up still. It didn't pop op. I then tried to do the long hold search key on the touch search button while the keyboard was still open and it didn't work either. I even hard resetted my phone to see if I could return the option to have long hold search work whether my physical keyboard is opened or closed. I don't even remember if it ever worked like that in the first place. I was wondering if anyone other G2 owners out there have this feature. The feature being to use your long hold search key option when the physical keyboard of the phone is slid out. Thank you for reading. I apologize for the length but I wanted to be detailed in hopes that someone could try it out themselves.
umm that was pretty confusing but I'll post my results...
I'm running stock G2 rooted.
Keyboard out = nothing.
Keyboard in = speak now voice search thing that I never use.
I've noticed ever since I rooted that my swype no longer works.
Never used it either so I really don't care for it
Hmmm, still confusing? I tried my best to explain. I think the biggest part was differentiating between the touch search button and the one on the physical keyboard. Nd yeah, I think it might have had something to do with my root because I'm almost positive it worked before. Its not that big of a deal I guess but if I could have the feature back, I do have a few uses for it.
tried physical and touch key when slid out.
Only opens up the voice thing with touch key when closed cuz I can't really try the physical when it's closed XD
Cool, thanks for replying back so fast. Hopefully someone replies that isn't rooted already, which would suck for them of course ; ), but I just want to know if my root process caused me to lose this feature
Sometimes this has happened to me and I was wondering on how to fix it and if anyone else has had this issue. Recently when I am in an app and I try to use my Hard keyboard if I press any of these keys it launches an app
(e - email
l - calender
p - don't recall.
g - gmail)
Anyone else see this ever. Usually I just use the onscreen keyboard when this happens and later it works again. This happened to me in the facebook app and also in dolphin browser.

Check Applications --> Quick Launch and see if you have any keys assigned to those apps.
It's my quick launch I think my search key was acting like it was pressed even though it wasn't. Thank you. Most have been stuck. Thank you.
It happens when you press the app key once by accident on the top left of the keyboard. Press it again and it turns off the shortcuts.
The app key? Which one is that? This happens to me a lot and I just mash on the keyboard until it goes away. I also am having problems with the keyboard not working at all. Sometimes I open the phone up and the whole keyboard stops working and I have to reboot the phone.
Also once I was on Dolphin browser and I was logging into Google plus and my numbers were acting funny. I could not press the ALT button to activate the numbers I had to hold the ALT then press the numbers. I thought that was weird.

Do you know any way to disable Quick Launch? Or maybe disabling all the pre-assigned things? --Do Not Want--
Thanks

Long press on the shortcut and it should give you an option to clear it.

The default shortcuts are the search button plus a letter. It happened to me once, and after pushing the search button on the top right of my keyboard a few times, everything started working fine again. Hope that helps.

Keyboard not working...at all
Hey all
CM11, official with apps installed the Captivate Glide physical keyboard is hit or miss. Since the physical keyboard is the WHOLE REASON to try to modify this older phone, its functionality is important. Physical keyboard ALT commands (#'s etc) do not work in any application. The letter keys works...sometimes. I have used default keyboard settings and have no idea whehter there is a fix on the main CM11 thread.
Many thansk!:good:
Alt is a non stick key

Well the thing is alt in cm11 is not a sticky key but its non stick . What i mean by that is that if you wanna type '1'. Keep 'ALT' pressed and hit the number '1' in blue on the keyboard. the alt key dosent seem to stick for some reason.
this is actually cause of the google ime treating our physical qwerty as a desktop keyboard i think where alt is also non stick.

"Alt" doesn't work at all -- even if held during typing. I will keep searching for keyboard fixes I guess. Since the keyboard is 100% of the reason to use the Captivate Glide, it's utility is a major issue. Many thanks for your reply!
