Install both the certs and the cab file. It allows you to map all the buttons on the device. I mapped tab to a long press of the "Q" button on the keyboard. I made a couple other changes to like one tap of the windows key is dpad down, and one tap of the back key is dpad up, long press of send is leftsoftkey, and long press of end is right softkey. It makes the big screen that much more enjoyable.

As far as the keyboard goes, im more accurate than i first was with my touchpro 1, but i really miss the clicky feed back. This kb is so soft to the touch that i have a tendency to apply too much pressure waiting for a feed back that doesn't happen. Overall, i can see myself adapting to it. I don't really like how the "A" button is furthest left, it makes me hold the device kind of awkward, but im adapting

yes, it's called Rhodium keyboard controller. I mapped the FN key to be the CTRL key when coupled as FN+A, FN+C, FN+X, & FN+V. And I mapped TAB to FN+Z. The long key press idea doesn't work for me having to wait for it. It is a matter of preference in either case.

I agree. Fn+C/V/X worked better for me than long-press C/V/X to emulate CTL+C/V/X. I also mapped Fn+Left Arrow and Fn+Right Arrow to CTL+Left Arrow and CTL+Right Arrow actions so you can move backwards and forwards one word at a time in text.

hi, can you explain this a bit more? i think I tried what you described (FN + C, etc), but can't get any cutting or pasting or copying to work for me.

thanks for any help you can offer
