Post your Keyboard Config

WisdomWolfX · #1 (**permalink**) 10-25-2009, 02:42 PM

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.

-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!

The cab you posted, Do I just unzip that to my windows directory?

In keyboard config how do I get the FN key to act like a crl key?

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.

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.

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!

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.
