Re: Copy And Paste On Touch Pro 2

I'm not sure what they're talking about. I copy and paste constantly.. I guess they're referring to some parts of TF3D where copy and paste aren't options.

Thanks for the explanation. Can you explain how to use Rhodium Keyboard Controller to remap the Volume Up and Down keys to serve as the Up and Down Arrow keys for everything except when on a phone call? Thanks in advance.

My sugestion would be to remap the vol up and down to the up / down keys for everything. Then add a rule for each of the keys you remapped for just the phone appp, mapping it to the original key....

Basically create a new key mapping for the volume up key
Set key mode to "Direct key mapping"
Set "key code" to "40 Down"
Check the "Repeat key press each (ms)" option and leave it at 100

Next you need to create a rule so this key will do something different whilst in the phone app. You want it to actually be the volume up key...

Whilst in the same key mapping, click the plus (+) next to the Rule
A box will appear telling you to pull out the stylus and switch to the desired app, then put the stylus in. So basically make sure the stylus is in before you click on the +, then tap the + with your finger, when the box appears telling you to pull out the stylus, do so, then switch to the phone app, then put the stylus back in its' hole. Once you've done that you should see "Rule 2" in the Rule box.
Change the key mode to "Direct key mapping"
Change the key code to "117 F6 - VOL UP, DONE"
Check the "Repeat key press each (ms)" option and leave it at 100
Click on OK

Now repeat all of this for the vol down / down key selecting the appropriate down or vol down actions.

Once you've created both keys make sure you enable them by tapping the "Update Config" soft button.

Hope this helps.

Thanks CovKid66, I appreciate your help! I'll try this tonight and let you know if I have any problem.

Re: Copy And Paste On Touch Pro 2

CovKid66 - - It worked perfectly! thanks again!

Re: Copy And Paste On Touch Pro 2

This is cool -- definitely giving it a shot. I usually hate interface inconsistency, but with exclusions for manilla, phone, and some media apps it should add some precision to selection.

Good idea guys.

Re: TP2 Copy And Paste?

EVEN BETTER way to do it with the Keyboard controller/config:
You don't "Need" to map a CTRL key, because you can emulate pressing a key WHILE pressing another key. In other words:
Take your C key, map "default function" to single click, but map "emulate keypress" for LONG press, and then for the key to emulate check CTRL and "C". That way when press and hold C it will copy automatically! Repeat for X and V etc. Also I made a tab key via FN->SYM, and pressing FN->LEFT or RIGHT will skip a word.

If you don't understand any of this or just want to see it, here's my Keyboard Controller XML config file: (coulldn't attach an XML file here so I'm hosting it off my site)
http://protonus.ws/files/ppc/KeyboardConfig.xml
Just load this up and you can see all I've done, I've mapped a lot. I have some mapping for the AEButtons Task Manager and Mem Viewer as they're my favorite so install AEButtons to take advantage of that (you don't have to have it in startup though).

yes , this is one feature that should have been a no brainer in my mind, but at least email gives the option to go to menu, select several messages, (one by one click) and then delete several at once...I was getting tired of doing the open each and delete

Re: TP2 Copy And Paste?

Please see my question in red below..
i'd appreciate a screen shot.
thanks.
