Post your Keyboard Config
 

I have discovered that one of my favorite apps for the Touch Pro 2 is the Rhodium Keyboard Control app. I have seen people use it to create all kinds of shortcuts with they keyboard. You can easily store your settings in an XML file so I thought it would be a good idea to create a thread to easily share those ideas.

Legend:
SP = Single Press
DP = Double Press
LP = Long Press

My XML files does the following:

-Fn + C/V/X/A = Ctrl + C/V/X/A
-Envelope is nothing on SP, default on DP, and rotate 270 on LP
-Fn + envelope = Tab
-Fn + . = close program
-SMS is default on SP, Beejive on LP
-Back key is default on SP, BT toggle on LP

EDIT: XDA Thread with up to date Rhodium Keyboard Controller per CovKid66's suggestion

At Briggs request: Briggs Ultimate Keyboard Config

My Config file is posted below.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

-Fn + C/V/X/A = Ctrl + C/V/X/A

-Fn + Left/Right = Ctrl + Left/Right (Move backward/forward one word)

Fn + S = Send text to active window
* Text = My eSignature for work emails only e.g. name, title, company, contact info)

-BACK (LP) = Enter

-HOME (LP) = WiFi Toggle

-VOL DOWN = Down
* Rule 2 = F7 - VOL DOWN in phone app only
* Both are Direct Key Mapping / 100ms Repeats

-VOL UP = Up
* Rule 2 = F6 - VOL UP, DONE in phone app only
* Both are Direct Key Mapping / 100ms Repeats

-Fn + SMS = Tab

For Worms World Party I also did this:
Left - Rules 2 = Up
Right - Rule 2 = Down
Up - Rule 2 = Left
Down - Rule 2 = Right
Notes:
Each of these keys are also assigned a direct key mapping to their original actions with 100ms repeats so that they function normally everywhere else but in rule 2

Each of the mappings assigned to rule 2 also have 100ms repeats

To map the rule 2 for each key, I took the stylus out when prompted and switched to WWP which I had already launched before hand, and then replaced the stylus to register the app for rule 2

Now I can use left/right to move my worm (makes more sense to me than the default up/down keys!), and up/down to raise / lower the targeting on the weapon being used

Enjoy!

I know few people on this forum have GSM phones, but just in case you do, be sure to download the GSM version of Keyboard Config for your phone. It's located at XDA-Developers.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

How did you accomplish the bold part and what do you mean by action screen? Can you post your xml? I'd love to take a look at it.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

this is my action screen, pops up on double press of home

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

Can you post your xml file?

All you have to do is go to menu -> config -> save config to save the xml. Then just xfer to computer, zip it up, and upload.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

Send key (LP) > Soft Reset
Home key (DP) > Copy
Home key (LP) > Messaging
Home key (SP>iGo8) > Enter button (repeats directions)
Back key (DP) > Paste
Back key (LP) > Toggle Bluetooth
Power button (DP) > PocketShield
Power button (LP) > Power Off

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

I don't think the Action Screen is available on all devices. If you have it look for \windows\htcactionscreen.exe. If it's there you can map a key to launch that app. If it isn't there, I think you're out of luck!

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

you have to install the action screen

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

I am having trouble with Remapping the Start button. I have the DP and LP programed to start an application, which they do fine. I have the SP set for default action. The problem is when I do the single press, the start page flashes for a second then the screen returns to the tab it was on or the home tab if I do it from an open program. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Mike

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

sweet.

been looking for both of these... remapper and action screen type thing.

thanks

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

I need a hand *pause for appplause*

I'm trying to map fn+dn to bottom of page. I got fn+up to map to home but end isn't working... is this an Opera problem or am I missing something(or both)

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

How did you accomplish FN + Backspace = DEL?? I tried using clear, but it does nothing. Can you please post your xml file or let me know what you did? I also have a Verizon TP2.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

this application keeps seeming better and better. just wondering would you be able to config the button on the top on the vzw phone? to turn the screen on and off?

Wirelessly posted (Sprint/1.0/HTC_Touch_Pro2_T7380 Opera/9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en))

The configurations don't seem to work in Opera text boxes. It does work in the address bar, but not on the website text boxes. Am I missing something?

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

Anyone knows how to call the "All Programs" ?

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

The whole point is to post the config file... no one other than the OP did.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

I'm also wondering how to get fn + backspace to = delete. I just don't see the option. If i ever get a decent one, i'll upload my xml. As for right now i have to redo the whole thing as an app my friend gave me killed my start menu. ugh.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

I'm glad someone else noticed that.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

Fn + z = ctrl+z
Fn + c = ctrl+c
Fn + v -= ctrl+v
Fn + del = ctrl+del
fn + left = ctrl+left
Fn + right = ctrl+right
SMS = tab

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

That's not how I read the OP...it says share ideas...not XML file. However, it definitely may have been helpful to post the file too, especially in those case where people are asking how certain keys, like the DEL, were mapped. Personally I found it most useful to scan through what ideas / mappings people were coming up with.

@WisdomWolfX: Might I recommend you remove the v1.3.2 cab on your first post and add a link to the XDA thread instead so users can always get the latest rev regardless of when they visit this thread in the future. Case in point, there is a newer 1.4 version out now anyway.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

Good idea! Already taken care of.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

And I went back and added my XML ;)

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this was for the stock rom? I'm running CFays rom, and I want to change the send key to go to call history instead of the dialer screen.

Would it be similar to this thread, or completely different. Any advice appreciated. Many TIA.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

Made myself a D pad with this app;

Double clicking the volume rocker up and down is up and down and double clicking send and end is left and right. I then made long press "back" enter and voila, Dpad.

I also made long press on the volume rocker be pg up pg down, this is nice for reading emails or this forum it just skips one page.

I also set dbl click windows key to open comm manager, and long press to open the taskmanager app in the windows directory that shows all processes, even those exclusive to the HTC taks manager. I also made double click back, close program.

This set up adds alot of functionality to the device with the keyboard closed. (amazing what you can get done sitting in a waiting room when you're bored)

I'm working on some other additions and will post my full config up soon.

[EDIT] Just wanted to say this is the most useful application for the TP2, hands down.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

I haven't specifically tried CFays ROM, but it should still work. I have used it on every ROM I've tested (Stock, MM, Juicy, NRG, etc) ant it has worked flawlessly.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

Maybe someone can help me out here. I'm usually pretty good at figuring out this stuff, but I can't seem to get this to work.

I have been using VolDPAD in my VZ TP2 all along, but now running Juicy's ROM it doesn't work for me.

All I want the KB driver to do is duplicate the functions of VolDPAD. Can somebody please post me a config file to do this?????

What that program does is:

1. volume up button scrolls up

2. volume down button scrolls down

3. double click volume up: scroll left

4. double click volume down: scroll right

I don't care if the controls work for volume at all, I never change the volume anyway.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

You want it to scroll up/down a whole page or just a line at a time?

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

one line at a time, that's what VolDPAD does.

I'm basically just missing my TP D-Pad.........

~John

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

Let me know if this works the way you want.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

Seriously, can someone PLEASE provide some info on how to map the backspace to have a DEL function??

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

That works perfectly, thankyou so much.

~John

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

my keyboard has it by default

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

Same thing here. I looked and looked, but don't see a way to map the function if it isn't already there. I could be missing something though.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

he couild isntall the telus keyboaqrd driver, and then just use keyboard config to patch over anything else

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

Thanks wolf for posting your config, i had a little trouble figure out how to map keys until i looked at your config, only thing diffrent ive thought to add is LP on " . " does .com for websites

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

Good idea. I don't like adding configurations to the keyboard letters/symbols because it seems to introduce a delay for normal keyboard presses while it waits to decide if it's a Single Press or going to be a Double Press. That's why I've used fn + whatever for most of my configurations.

Re: Post your Keyboard Config
 

The SIP keyboard has a DEL button, maybe it could be linked somehow. Also, redd214 said in post 2 he has a DEL function mapped to FN+BKSPC, and he also has a Verizon TP2 (As I assume since his carrier says Verizon).
