Where is Ctrl key or function on slide down keypad

Where is Ctrl key or function on slide down keypad?
Its on SIP keyboard.
Thnaks in advance

If it's the key I think you mean it's in the bottom letf hand corner called "Lock/Fn"

nope. lock/fn q, wont exit app on hard keyboard .
on sip it will, same as on any pc.

Yes, I have had that same question too as I am an avid ctrl-v, ctrl-x, ctrl-c person. How in the world can they give us an empty (albeit programmable) button but leave off the control button?

International Version Question: Does control key have highlight text+ copy/cut/paste?

International Version Question: Does control key have text select + copy/cut/paste?
Questions about Touch Pro2's Control Key:
1) On a computer I can use shift key to highlight text and files; can I use the shift key on Touch Pro2 to do the same?
2) On a computer I can use [ctrl x] to cut [ctrl c] to copy and [ctrl v] to paste and [ctrl z] to undo .... Does the Touch Pro2 offer the same?
3) What other commands and functions can the Touch Pro2's command key do?
4) Does cut / copy / paste / undo work for the file system also?
5) The Xperia's center D-pad button can be used to open the context menu if I hold the button for a a second, however the Enter button on the keyboard doesn't open context menu when I hold it for a few seconds. I see that the Touch Pro2 lacks the D-pad center button, but it has an enter key. What happens if you press and hold enter? Does the context menu open like on the Xperia? [I am not talking about soft keys menus, I am talking about context menu like when you tap and hold a file to delete it]
6) What does the ctrl key do?

Shift to hightlight and CTRL+Z/X/C/V all work, except undo if you move files between main memory and storage card.

Is there a crtl combo replacement for the TAB key ?

change Arrow key functionality by AEbuttonPlus or registery manipulation

Hello,
I use AE button plus to manage & configure my hardware keys on my Pro2.
I can easily define some functional for windows, Green/Red phone key.
But I couldn't define any functionality for Arrow key(back key or the key on the left side of windows key). I tried to use "Add Button" feature to access this key but it doesn't work anymore.
I like to know, how I can change Arrow key functionality by AEbuttonPlus or registery manipulation.
Thanks a lot.

plz any help?

Would like to know this as well... I can't map the Back key

I use AE Button Plus with my Tilt 2 WinMo 6.5. I used the OK key for what I suppose you are calling the arrow key. On my Tilt 2, that key is used as an OK/Close key except in the browser where it is used as a Back key. Here is an AEBPlus report showing how I remapped that key.
* OK key (4075):
1: Ok/Close
2: Press Right arrow key
3: "Calculator"
Long: Close active application
I'm also use SPB Mobile Shell so some of the items I mapped are SPB functions.
Here is a copy of the report:

[MOD] i927 Hacker's keyboard layout... [DE/EN]

Hi all,
have been using this custom keypad layout for a while and now finally get around to post it...
Keyboard Allocation Modifications (touch keys unchanged):
MENU key mapped to TAB
HOME key mapped to CTRL_LEFT
SEARCH key mapped to CTRL_RIGHT
OK key (DPAD_CENTER) mapped to FORWARD_DEL (normal delete - instead of delicate (touch-)cursor-positioning, then backspace)
shift+alt+E: Euro sign (€)
shift+alt+K: < instead of (
shift+alt+L: > instead of )
shift+alt+,: ~ instead of =
shift+alt+.: ^ instead of \
shift+alt+?: | instead of / (pipe linux commands without switching to soft keyboard for that one stupid symbol!)
MIC key (+ shift/alt): mapped to [ {
www./.com key (+ shift/alt): mapped to ] }
DE layout: Z <=> Y
DE layout: [äöüß] mapped on shift+alt+[aous]
This allows proper usage of terminal, debian, tmux..
Little known fact: some useful common keyboard combinations become available when your device provides TAB & CTRL keys:
- ALT+TAB: application switcher
- CTRL + A [in text fields]: select all
- CTRL + C/X/V [in text fields]: copy/cut/paste
- CTRL + Z: unfortunately, no undo (what the fail?)
- TAB [in terminal]: shell tab completion!
- CTRL + C [in terminal]: interrupt running process
- CTRL + D [in terminal, empty command line]: exit shell
Improvement suggestions or questions, bring 'em on.
The files have to replace /system/usr/keychars/STMPE_keypad.kcm and /system/usr/keylayout/STMPE_keypad.kl respectively to be active.. Installable ZIP files in third post. :good:

nice, but you should make installable zip, like this , just change zip file.

recovery installable ZIP
ok here it comes

very great job! many thanks will test that soon

Hey Admin!!! ^^ Sorry My English Not Good
Can you Mod Volume Up = Wake Phone, Or Search = On/Off Phone?

I wana turn off Search key on the phone, too

ahem this is a great feature but I may have made an error in flashing because it'd be nice to compare the original setup! I was sold with ~ and <> etc but I kinda miss the search key believe it or not (for SMS etc it had become a habit)..
my suggestions after 20 mins.. if "Menu" key was L-Ctrl instead of tab, (flip them), you could slide your thumb from menu to A to "select all" in one motion (I even found it possible with home as L-Ctrl but not easy). Also, you could hit Alt-Tab w the same one thumbstroke!! Then, you really don't need R-Ctrl because XCV have enough space to hit with your right thumb while left thumb on Menu (now L-Ctrl). Then I can have my search key back and not lose any function
If you can share the original I can set it up this way! Oh, and also "OK" for delete is OK.. but could it be L-Ctrl + Bksp, or Shift+Bksp? OH WAIT that IS the default!! Shift+BKSP = delete!! Lucky guess
Thanks tho this is awesome!!

You are aware that there is one beneath the display on the right? & these capacitive buttons continue to work with expanded keyboard.

I might actually try swapping these.. although I already used this layout for months. But good point about CTRL+A (my tmux key) and ALT+TAB :good:
So just swap the numbers of both keys in the STMPE_keypad.kl:
Code:
key 102 CTRL_LEFT WAKE
key 139 TAB WAKE

well the Shift+BKSP trick doesn't work everywhere and definitely not within the terminal.
You can find the default files here:
https://github.com/buborh/android_device_samsung_i927/raw/cm-11.0/usr/keylayout/STMPE_keypad.kl
https://github.com/buborh/android_device_samsung_i927/raw/cm-11.0/usr/keychars/STMPE_keypad.kcm

did the swaps and modded the KB a bit and it's friggin fantastic!! Great tips Used the one-thumb ctrl+a today as well as the one-thumb alt-tab just by coincidence and they work great!! w 4.4.4 the phone is crazy fast(er) as well as less battery and with this mod it's friggin fantastic!! Glad I didn't commit to longer contract and went w ole cheapo glide again!! Thanks EMP!!

Gemini Keyboard Shortcuts

Got my Gemini on Saturday and just working my way around it.
Was looking at shortcuts for the Gemini Keyboard and found the documentation, however all shortcuts are a combination of a key labelled ? (magnifying glass) plus another key.
For the life of me I cannot find the key that is supposed to be the magnifying glass.
Anyone know which key this is supposed to be
Thanks in advance

I think those docs are for generic android with a keyboard; google has been pushing putting a "search" key directly onto keyboards.
The gemini shortcuts are mostly the "Fn" key plus another, which should be labelled. e.g. on mine (UK kbd):
ESC: "back" key, or hold down for "Power"
Fn+ESC: "power"
Fn+D: Android "home" key (desktop, not to be confused with traditional editing "home" key)
Fn+A: Android "recent" key (App switcher)
Alt+Tab: App switcher (standard android binding)
Fn+C: Volume down
Fn+V: Volume up
Fn+B: Brightness down
Fn+N: Brightness up
Fn+Alt: Phone app
Fn+Del: Settings
Fn+T: Mute microphone
Fn+R: Screenshot
etc.

Hope I am not hijacking this thread, but continued question about Fn usage
How does one get all the "strange" characters from the keyboard?
By strange, I mean stuff like "{}[]`/" and similar ones.
From the keyboard looks (symbols imprinted at the bottom of the key) I assumed its a combo of Fn+symbol, but it doesn't work.
I am using US keyboard layout and set to use Gemini keyboard as input method.

Did you figure this out? I'm trying to find that out now too.

It is [Fn] +'/ ' to bring up the symbols keyboard and you can select them from there. {}[]℅™®©¥¢√π∆~ etc...

When you use the Gemini Keyboard app to configure the Gemini US English layout there is actually one more step it seems. Once you've gone through the setup you should receive a notification to configure your keyboard. Select this and select the Gemini keyboard and you will be good to go. I ignored the notification for a while, believing it was prompting me to go through the setup process again but that was not the case.
Hope this helps.
