Scrolling through list and selecting item

[CMeys]

From my previous WM devices, I am accustomed to using the D pad to scroll down through a list of things (such as the file list within a folder using Total Commander) then clicking the middle of the D pad to select the item.

Since the TP2 has no D Pad or way to scroll (other than with a keyboard open), is there any good way to do this with this device?

Thanks.

In those programs, with a virtual pop up keyboard, you'll find a "virtual D-pad" ie arrows to help you scroll. Unfortunately, this won't work when the phone dialer opens as the it does not use the same keypad. I just re-mapped my "back" to allow me to scroll down and select.

I've been using the virtual keypad that way; problem is that in some of these programs after the scroll and select it closes, and then must be opened again for each additional action.

If you've remapped back to to do this, what are you using for "back"? And which program did you use to remap it?

Thanks.

This is the remapper program. I can't seem to get the same key to function differently in different programs which some people say that you can do. I can't find the setting for this. I have my long end key mapped to go back to Mobile Shell. This is my new "back" key. I use this as a springboard for wherever I'm going next.

You could also use the Rhodium Keyboard Controller over at xda as noted above. This is a remapping tool that will allow you to map any hardware key you like. You would be able to map up/down functions to the volume up/down keys in every app but the phone app for instance. See here for more details. And on top of mapping my volume keys to up/down keys (except in the phone app) I also mapped "Enter" to the long-press of the hard 'BACK' key (to the left of the End key). I then use my vol up/down plus the long-press Back key to move up and down and select items.

search for this EXACTLY at xda Zoom Bar Scrolling--Tweak--
