opera doesn't like htc keyboard

[big20ugly]

is there a fix to getting opera mobile to recognize the htc keyboard? I am stuck between switching from the htc keyboard for text messages and using the standard wm keyboard for web browsing.

If there is no fix, what other keyboard would you recommend?

that or touchpal plays well with it aswell. Also if you are on the new rom there is a touch full qwerty that works fine

It's some registry editing that you have to do in order for it to work with Opera. Someone on XDA posted a cab for Opera with the registry settings added in the installation. I'll post it as soon as I get home.

the qwerty keypad is seperate in the new rom try selecting it instead of the 20key keypad. I thought it was ugly so got the diamond keyboards and they work/look great with opera 9.5

That would be much appreciated.

I have the oem verizon rom and don't plan on switching to another as I have very little experience with ppc's. I know that if I don't do it right I'm out $400 bucks so I would rather wait until I get more experience.

The link for the cab expired. But here's the registry tweaks.

1. Open a registry editor and go to HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9
2. Add a multi-string key named "CustomClassNames"
3. Add "WMOpera_EditEx" and "Opera_MainWndClass" for Opera 9.x
4. Soft reset the device
5. Enjoy working t9 in Opera
