Mapping Backspace Key to multifunctions - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

I know there have been many posts on similar subjects and I have tried asking the question in those but have got no answers so I am creating my own post seeking help.
I am trying to map the Backspace key on the 16 key Dual keyboard to Backspace (single press) and OK/Close (double press) and am having mixed success.
No button utilities I have found can map the keyboard keys so I have found AE Button Plus can 'learn' the key (0008) and so multifunctions can be assigned to it.
OK/Close works fine. For backspace I have created a Mortscript with 'SendBackspace' in it to simulate the backspace press but this doesn't seem to work. i have isolated the problem to the mortscript command not working. I am currently doing SendLeft and then SendDelete which does the same as the backspace except it doesn't work as a 'Back' button in Opera Mini.
Can anyone suggest any resolution?

Did you managed to find solution to your problem? I'm strugling with the same.
I used Vijay Keys to generate a signal for backspace key. But as soon as I assign the backspace key to AE button plus, backspace's original function is stolen.

Hardware Button (on the keypad)

Hello,
Does someone know a solution for mapping the hardware buttton that normaly launch internet explorer? I would like to use it for X/closing cause I'm already tired to go on the upper side of the screen. i.e. when you put a new meeting with the keyboard, it is hard to go to the cross (up and right) for "saving" the new meeting.
I just bought this phone cause it has a good harware keyboard, but it's not important for me to have a direct access to internet explorer.
Thanks for your replies!!

Which button are you talking about?
I use AE Button to assign the Voice Recorder button to the OK/Close function and it works brilliantly. You can assign single press, long press and double press to different functions. It's a great little app that takes up very little system resources.
I'd still like to know which button is the Internet Explorer button because I didn't know we had that feature!
EDIT: Okay I just realised that you probably have the 16 key version whereas mine is the 20 key version
that's it, I've got the 16 key keypad. I really miss teh Ok/close button, caus I have to grip off my phone for going to the upper right corner of the screen and come back to the keypad....
AE button, doesn't work for this button, neither Vito button...
Anyone an other solution

Why doesn't AE Button Plus work?
I use it for OK/Close and it works perfectly well
So I must not have using it the good way.
But wich button are you talking about, cause with AE button, it only "see" the three external button (wich are on the side). I know that you can assign every button with AEbutton, but when I assign the internet key for ok/close, it close the app the first time I use it and then the key come back to its previous function (internet explorer). Someone a reg trick?
I have the 16 key version too and want the same, an ok button on the keyboard. button utilities only recognize the hardware buttons and not the keyboard buttons so there is no way to map these. hopefully someone will update their utility to include the keyboard buttons.
cheers,

"happy" to see that I'm not the only one who don't suceed by trying to change the function of the internet explorer button on a 16 keypad of a dual for using it with the ok/close button...
I found the camera button akwardly placed (kept launching the damn thing by accident) and dont use the camera much - so I remapped the cam button to OK/Close and have found this does the job for me. Not really a solution I know, but it wokrs for me.
Yes AE Button is great, but while you can map any key like Mail or IE, it will still launch the old app, we'd have to find a way to not launch the old app, in the registry possibly.

I have found the same. Has anyone managed to map IE button succesfully? Also there is a pause/delay when using buttons handled by AE Button, has anyone else noticed this?
any updates!? i think it can be done in the registry though i don't know how. hope that someone can crack this.

I have found a rudimentary solution. Add the IE key using AE Button Plus and run the following Mortscript (I am still a novice scripter) to close IE when it opens automatically and then run Opera Mini.
WaitFor("Internet Explorer",5)
Close("Internet Explorer")
Run("\Windows\jbed.exe", "-run s0_")
It works for me. If anyone has any suggestions on improving it, please let me know.
anythig new about this, pls?
thx

Did anyone has a solution for this? Have been searching to change Ok/Enter and IE buttons. AEBPlus doesnt really work perfectly and eat into RAM..
Can we change registry? lnk? read somewhere about long_press_xxxx.ink but dont find it in our Nike.
Anybody found a solution for this? I've tried everything but couldn't map the IE button on my 16-key Nike to OK/Close.

Can individual keys be remapped on the fuze?

I was wondering if anyone knows how to remap one of the fuze's keyboard keys to function as the TAB key, like in the TP. I've read a few threads about changing an english keyboard to a foreign language keyboard, but nothing on changing individiual keys. It looks too complicated for me to understand too. I think I can spare the Windows key if I can use it for the TAB function. Thank you in advance.
This would be great. I'd change the right shift key.
You could try Mobiion's MagiKB lite
This would be awesome, i want to switch the OK and the Fn keys on the left side and the Wifi and T9 keys on the opposite.
Thanks for your suggestion, wonghyf. I looked into Mobiion's MagiKB lite, but the program is not very intuitive. In fact, I couldn't really figure it out. Do you know if there is a good tutorial? Thanks again

Here is the link to magiKB lite's help: http://www.mobiion.com/mgkblguide.html
I think this section is particularly useful:
Fake Key: Replace the original key with a new one, so that when the base key is pressed, the fake key will be sent instead of the original one. This option is only available when the key type is VKey
This is how I map the fake keys:
Select [Edit Key-Mapping]>[Add New...], and then follow the instructions below:
1. Change its type to [Vkey]
2. Set focus to field [Key Code]
3. Select [Menu]>[Get key code...]
4. Now press the key you want to remap FROM
5. Tick "Fake this key with"
6. Set focus to field just right to "Fake this key with"
7. Select [Menu]>[Get key code...] and press the key you want to map TO; or select from predefined codes>
8. Press OK (left soft key)
You have to install hookmgr.cab as well to make magikb lite work. But still on my Touch Pro, some keys can't be mapped properly because the original key will be triggered as well (e.g. the SMS/MMS button), don't know why.

keyboard key codes

Hi
i was wondering if anyone knows all the keyboard key codes to map the S740 keyboard using the eT9.Rose.0***.kmap.txt file
i find it very useful to change certain keys and i was also looking for, if possible, which key code is used to change the accent of the previous typed letter (like the aü key on the xperia x1) so i can easily use accented letters, áàãâ etc, without having to go to sym menu or map them on different keys.
thanks
AE Keymap
Search for the program named AE Keymap and install it, it's a utility for changing keymaps with a scanner application on the side so that you can read out the codes by pressing buttons.

[Q] Virtual D-pad application

Hi,
I'm search for some d-pad app, which can show me virtual d-pad on screen. I found some, but it doesn't met my needs. I need d-pad for example for edit of searched value. This can be done by "arrow" or trackball - but we have nothing of these.
I also tried remap UP/DOWN d-pad keys on volume UP/DOWN but I can't set up volume during call, mute, configure volume...
My requirements
- I don't want see d-pad all the way. I would like bring-up virtual d-pad by some hw key (long/short search button press for example) or for example from notify or by tiny persisted virtual key on display
- it should be possible move d-pad on screen
I found only one app which is really is close to my requirements, but it works strange and have sometime FCs. It is called softkeys.
I do not understand, why for windows mobile exist so much virtual d-pads, services for handling key shortcuts even gravity control "d-pad" but for android nothing?

[Q] Remap bluetooth keyboard keys

I have the zaggfolio case and keyboard. I was wondering is there anyway to edit the functions of the keyboard. For example: change the ctrl key to a shortcut for my browser or if i long press the home but recents will show. thanks
Bumping you because I want to do the same thing for the opposite reason: My keyboard Esc key is interpreted as a local 'Back' press, and Ctrl goes I don't know where. I want it to stop modifying these keys and send them through ConnectBot instead.
