Copy And Paste On Touch Pro 2

[carlosruizano]

My biggest problem is selecting multiple items in File Explorer, there is no "Select Several" option here. I found a work around though, it involves sliding out the keyboard.
1. Use the directional keypad to go to the first file you want to move/delete
2. Then press and hold the "caps/shift" key
3. While still holding the key from step 2, tap the last item you want to move/delete.
4. Finally tap and hold the highlighted items and a menu comes up with the options to Cut, Copy, or Delete.

This is how I deleted most of the stock rings/alerts in the windows folder to clear up some memory. There are about 40 and I only wanted 5 of them. Having to have individually tap and hold to delete each one would have been a drag. I am using original settings with Sprint

I know.. The standard explorer is really Fu***** up.
Use Resco explorer 2008... You can select multiple items, without using keyboard.

But what about selecting text in Windows live messenger > ? any idea's ?

I myself would love to have the full keyboard layout for on screen back, from the 6.1 pro , i could shift and cap and be done the On Screen keyboard is a pain to have to hit 123 or 1/2 to get symbols, and copy and paste was eaier then too, is there a cab out there for the original keyboard layout from 6.1 for on screen.

thats what i do to copy and paste. a ctrl key would be awesome thought

Is it possible to change the FN button to Ctrl
and the MAIL button to FN?

Rhodium Keyboard Controller is great, for when you use the slide-out keyboard.

But for when you want to use the onscreen keyboard, just choose the appropriate SIP .. the one attached is simply called "Keyboard" on my device, and i have it setup for "small" keys which gives the one-press number keys, and gestures (for: space, bksp, shift, enter). Main thing is: you get a CTRL key .. no mess, no fuss!

CTRL+V would be a paste

Opera browser doesn't recognise CTRL+V/C/X in form fields (ironically, considering my choice of screenshot) .. but this is true for the slide-out keyboard too. Interestingly, Opera DOES honour CTRL+V/C/X/Z (but not CTRL+A) in its address bar. Nevertheless, Opera does provide a context menu for form fields with cut/copy/paste/select_all, so that is a non-issue ... and boils down to an application idiosyncrasy.

The point you're missing is that there is at least one SIP choice that provides for easy use of CTRL+X/C/V etc. But hey, use it don't use it, maybe someone else can benefit.

I think my point you're missing is our screens aren't multi-touch, so trying to hold cntrl+v on the onscreen keyboard won't do anything.

You're correct about Opera's inability to use the system's method of copy and paste within webpages. I think the address bar doesn't have an issue because it's a native WM control, while the text fields in webpages are custom controls programmed for opera specifically.

Bottom line though is unless you have an hd2 there's no way you can do cntrl+v with the virtual keyboard. Cntrl, yes, but not cntrl v.

Wait, does it follow a set key presses? Is that what you're saying? Like instead of holding them down together, you just hit cntrl, then hit v and it pastes?
