Hey guys,
Tried searching for this several times with no luck and this (bug?) annoys the crap out of me.
Has anyone noticed that the hardware keyboard shortcuts no longer work with CM7?
That is to say:
[menu + a] = select all
[menu + c] = copy
[menu + v] = paste
Anybody know of a solution or workaround?
Thanks
Are these shortcuts also set in the cyanogenmod settings? It may be a bug of the version you are on, try rolling back one or two versions.
I've been on several of the CM7 nightlys (currently on RC4) and none of them have these shortcuts configured. They were working out of the box on stock rom, CM6 and MIUI.
As far as i Know these are standard shortcuts that have always "just worked" without having to set them up anywhere.
As detailed in this thread under the section "Keyboard Tips":

Nobody?
Is my question posted in the wrong section or am I the only one facing this issue?
In any text box while using the hardware keyboard:
Is anyone able to select all text using the shortcut "menu + a"
or copy text using "menu + c"

Yep
Except that in some cases the menu stills pops up when doing that, which kills the selection

I thought I was crazy. Maybe there's two of us crazies, then. With CM7, I just can't Select All with the hardware keyboard. My conclusion is that since Gingerbread hasn't hit any keyboard-toting phones, there may be something missing from the code.

Me (LG GW620 owner) and my friend (HTC G2 owner) faced this problem, so we googled it and stumbled upon this thread.
We both have the same problem regarding the select all thing. Not touching the text box with the touch screen and using Menu+A does nothing. Touching the text box and then using Menu+A selects and deselects.
I guess we can confirm that this is not a G2-specific problem, since it also happens on a LG GW620 using the Open Eve ROM (CM7-based), and a G2 using CM7.

Running dc3.5 with launcher pro. I've got the search widget on my home screen and after the first time I use it after a reboot it jumps to the top of the screen and doesn't work at all anymore till I reboot. The search key will bring up the keyboard to enter text but won't actually enter anything into the text field. Any ideas why this is happening? I'm sure it's an issue with launcher pro because I was having the same problem when I was running the widget and lp on dc 3.2.x before I lost my old evo (rip )

I'm currently running the most recent Fresh ROM and using LP Plus and don't have any issues with the Google search widget. I can enter text and also the voice to text works almost flawlessly on it. HTH
lucky you. I'm gonna try to uninstall and reinstall both again.
Also, I've switched roms to Ava6 and i'm still experiencing the same problem.
fixed
I had the same problem and finally came up with an easy fix. I know its going to sound weird but bear with me.
First hold down on the searchbar and drag it to the trashcan. Now go to another page, yes it does have to be another page. Clear a desktop row that is not the top row. Hold down on the blank row and add the Google search widget there. Now hold down on it and move it back to where you originally had it. And fixed......
Hope it works for you.

Google search brought me here... I can confirm that this does seem to work; I'm using LP v0.7.6.0 on a Samsung Captivate SGH-I897 running leaked froyo build
I had this same issue, reinstalling LP fixed it
Im also having this issue. Ill try those strategies. So far moving the bar around hasn't helped. Running leaked Froyo on Samsung Captivate.
Edit: Problem solved by using "Google Search" widget rather than "Search" widget. They look and preform the same. Why I have two of those and what the material differences are, I'm not sure! (maybe one is an updated form and one is legacy)
Do you guys think when you re-installed LP you may have switched with search widget you used?
youre crazy widget moving black magic method worked!!!!
I can also confirm the work-around. The new widget no longer animates to the top.
I have a desire with stock unrooted ROM. Its also been upgraded OTA to the latest froyo release.
I am sure the standard web browser used to have zoom buttons appear when you scrolled up and down but they have gone and I can't get them back.
Cleared the user data and removed the SD card but still they are not there.
Anyone know how to fix this?
you can pinch-zoom you know...
Yeah but the zoom buttons are great for one handed use. Gotta get em back.
Can anyone confirm the buttons are there on their desire with the latest build?

Zoom buttons
Zoom buttons is an option that can you can tick on/off in the browser settings.
I can't see that.i have set text size and default zoom but nothing else zoom related. What is the option called in your settings screen?

Because I am steering with my knees and I have a beer in the other hand
HTC have confirmed that the zoom buttons should be there on build 2.10.405.2 but they want me to send the phone back to the service centre to resolve the issue. Really don't want to have to do that!
Menu option
Just checked my menu.
*open standard webkit browser
*menu -> more -> settings (I presume, I have Dutch language menu's)
*beneath my 'standaardzoom' (standard zoom), I have the option to tick off/on 'Show visual zoom control'.
That's what you are looking for.
When I hit the menu button, the menus come up but without any labels. If the only thing there is text, then the nothing shows up in the menu.
Labels are visible everywhere else; home screen, app drawer, etc. It is ONLY when I hit the menu button that I lose them. When I tap the actual menu item that I want, the text appears, but that's a little late to help.
Any idea how to get the menu labels back or what might have turned them off in the first place?
Are you rooted?
What rom & launcher are your using?

Most of that was in my signature:

Sorry, XDA's tapatalk does not show sigs.
Unfortunately, though, I do not have the answer.
My bad - didn't realize that it didn't show up everywhere...
Solution
In case anyone is interested, the problem turned out to be a theme applied through metamorph. I replaced it with a different one and the labels are back.
hi,
i finally decided to bite the bullet and installed ice cream sandwich (virtuous quattro rc2 with the wifi fix kernel). everything is ok, except for one thing: switching IMEs.
i know that in ICS you don't long press on text fields anymore; instead there is an keyboard icon that appears in the notification bar that lets you pick your ime.
as it stands right now, that icon in the notification bar doesn't appear. i have to manually go to the settings page and switch the default IME. i need to use multiple keyboards and not having a quick way to switch makes using the device impossible.
is there something i have to do to get that icon to appear? when i tap a text field to start entering text, the keyboard i have selected as default appears, but there is no way to change the IME because there is no icon in the notification bar.
can anyone help me?
thanks!
man i must be blind. upon combing the settings a third time, there was an option i missed in the quattro control panel "enable ime switcher".
can a mod delete this thread?
thanks!
its still a release candidate u may find a lot of missing stuff wait for the dev to fully finishing this project then if the prob still the same u cant tell them
Hi All
I got the update yesterday.
The problem I have is that the "Choose input method" notification appears whenever I use the keyboard.
I've installed other keyboards, gone through the process of selecting the keyboard and the notification will still not go away.
Has anyone else had this problem, if so, can you help?
Thanks guys
Whenever you type, a keyboard option appears in your notification? This is how JB handles changing keyboards. It's normal.
I also have this - but I only have the stock keyboard, is there anyway to remove it?

Not that I'm aware of. Surely a keyboard icon in the notification bar doesn't annoy you? haha.
ICS used a menu shortcut, JB uses the notification. Weird choice I think.. but looks like it's here to stay.
It really does bug me lol. Can't see why you'd want a notification in the corner, asking you if you'd like to change your keyboard - just seems daft lol. Oh well looks like I'll have to cope with it lol.
