Keyboard Question - Multiple keys at the same time - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I'm coming to a TP from a Galaxy Tab 10.1, and on my old tab (with bluetooth keyboard) I couldn't do multiple simultaneous keypresses (other than shift + a letter) -- i.e I couldn't hit shift + enter at the same time, or even more annoyingly if I hit shift to capitalize a letter then quickly hit space it wouldn't pick up that space.
I'm hoping that was some sort of limitation of the keyboard/the fact that it was bluetooth and I won't see this on the TP with the keyboard dock... so can anyone with the keyboard dock confirm for me that you can do multiple simultaneous keypresses and it'll read them all at the same time?

How to copy/paste with dock/trackpad?

I know on the the tablet, I just long press on the screen to choose the text. Is there a way to do it with just the trackpad and/or mouse?
Hold down button on trackpad.
That worked but I can't seem to get Ctrl + C to work in a browser.

That is not a shortcut that works.
You have to remember, Android is made for touch. When you hook up the dock, the trackpad basically plays the role of your finger.
Just plugging in the dock doesn't make the Prime a normal laptop- instead it is a tablet with its bluetooth keyboard solidly attached. True "transforming" tablets that convert from a mobile OS to a real OS when docked are years away.
Honestly I think its cool Asus rigged the shortcuts we do have.
Control+V for pasting.....oi

found a great way to select text
Press alt the drag across screen where you want to select. I find it easier and more intuitive than double tap then select.

or you can select by hovering the "arrow" over the text/word you want to copy, then touch the touchpad with 2fingers (long hold), the text/word will be selected.

Standard keyboard shortcuts work fine with Android as long as you have a keyboard.
CTRL - A (Select all)
CTRL - V (Paste)
CTRL - C (Copy)
CTRL - X (Cut)
All of these work fine in Android, and within the Android browser. I just tested this myself with my own Prime & keyboard dock. You can also use the Menu button in place of the CTRL button.
Also in the stock browser:
CTRL - T opens a new tab.
CTRL - N opens a new tab.
CTRL - I zooms in.
CTRL - O zooms.
CTRL - H opens history
CTRL - P opens settings.
CTRL - L highlights the address bar text
CTRL - B opens bookmarks.
CTRL - J opens recent downloads
CTRL - F opens text finder
CTRL - W closes selected tab
CTRL - R reloads current tab
CTRL - S opens the "share" menu.
CTRL - 1 goes to the first tab (other numbers open other tabs, in order from left to right.)
All of these are keyboard shortcuts included in the stock Android browser and are not added by Asus. They are intended to work with products like Google TV which uses a keyboard interface, as well as bluetooth keyboards and phones that have built-in keyboards.
For the OP:
If you find it hard to select text by clicking on the screen and holding, using the trackpad, click at the beginning or end of the text you want to copy and then hold shift and move across the text using the arrow keys. This will highlight the text and then you can use the keyboard shortcuts above to cut/copy/paste.

[Q] Mapping a sticky something.

Hi all,
I have just bought a Targus bluetooth presenter for my galaxy tab. It works a treat and was only £5 so I am very happy with it. With a little editing of the key layouts I have been able to get some of the useless buttons to do things like home and menu. It all works perfectly and now I have just one thing I want to do but don't know if it is possible.
I want to map a key to be a sticky mouse down so that I can pan across the screen because it is just about impossible to hold the mouse button down at the same time as moving the track pad. The ideal is to be able to press a key - it locks down - I scroll around as needed then press the same key (or if needed another one) to simulate lifting the mouse button up again.
Is this even possible? If so can anyone point me in the right direction?
Keverso.

Input swap button on Prime dock keyboard?

Today while carrying my Prime on the dock while open, I randomly pressed or held a button. It produced a popup that allowed me to change my input method from the physical keyboard to an on screen Asus/Android keyboard.
This is a really cool feature (especially for typing other languages). Does anyone know how to reproduce this popup?
Did you press the "keyboard" icon that is displayed in the system tray when docked?

Moga Pro Controller Mode B HID and Order & Chaos Online
As long as you have a newer device, you don't even have to install the Moga Pivot app; just turn the controller on Mode B, enable Bluetooth on your device and connect. Once you establish the initial connection, my devices will automatically connect, just by turning the controller on and enabling Bluetooth. Once connected, just open your Order & Chaos Online app. Keep in mind, the controller doesn't offer 100% functionality, so you'll still have to use the touch screen for certain aspects.
At first, the controls were confusing, but after playing around with the controller some more, I’ve figured out just about every aspect of the controller.
Use the direction pad to navigate menus. Concerning gameplay, here's what I've figured out so far.

Skills & Spells can be assigned to X, Y, B, as well as the 2 columns of hotkeys, by long pressing and then dragging from the menus onto the desired slot.
As of now, I haven’t found any button to interact with NPC’S or to loot corpses. Gameloft hasn’t responded to my emails or request for support, aside from the generic rquest received email.
Hope this helps.

Figured it out at last! How to loot and interact with NPC'S! Press and hold X! I think this is everything... No need to touch the screen!

Any way to map the X, Y, B buttons (and others) to the 2 columns of hotkeys? I'd prefer to play with the 2 column hotkey open so that I can use more spells, but was unable to find a way to map button presses to the 2 column hotkey slots. I want my button presses to invoke spells in the 2 column hotkey menu instead of the standard 3 hotkey and jump menu.
I'm guessing when you say you can long press and drag that means you can add things to the 2 columns to invoked by a finger press.

Samsung Keyboard Cover (and any external keyboard)

I've noticed that the keyboard cover (and any external keyboard actually) does not use the shift key to create a capital letter. I recall that this was not a problem before, and I'm seeing it on all my Android devices.
How are you all resolving this?
OK, I've figured this out, and I'm typing on the keyboard cover now, and shift for capitals are working as expected.
What I did:
I looked into the input settings, and found the shortcut keys. Discovered [Meta] + [space] is the option to switch keyboards. I assumed [meta] was the search button. When I hit that combination, I saw a "Samsusng" toast pop up, and upon testing in my apps again, lo and behold, shift capitalized my letters.
Thanks for watching!
