CTRL Key
 
This seems like a long shot.

Is there a way to hold the CTRL key with the thumb keyboard on our devices(without having to pop up the soft keyboard)?

It seems like two of my favorite keys "\" and "CTRL" have been forgotten on this keyboard.

I miss them!

\ is easy - you hit the dot (lower left key) then / then the dot again and then space (sym) - or just hold the dot down while hitting / then space. The more you hit space the more symbols you get (it rotates through). That's true on most of the keys - you can do accents that way as well..

As for ctrl - I got nothing... You can use a program like rkeyen and assign it a shortcut. If you want copy/paste (I think the most common ctrl+key you'd use) you can use the same program to do that as well..

I use a program called PQZ ( http://www.nicque.com/PQz/PQzII.htm) to map the keyboard's Windows key to the CTRL key. And you can still use the other Windows key on the bottom of the phone as the Windows key so you don't even lose any functionality. Windows mobile recognizes all the usual CTRL key shortcuts for copying and pasting.

I remember accidently stumbling upon that trick a WHILE ago. Thanks jhonny11 for reminding me how to do that!

This looks promising. However I seem to be having compatibility issues with my phone and the version i downloaded. I will let you know if it works for me. Thanks!
