Would you like to use CTRL/ALT on your Universal? :D - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hello all,
I would like to introduce a software which using CTRL/ALT key on your Universal.
Here is a link to download.
http://1942.rocketspace.net/PQz/PQz20051119_0015.zip
Espcially, It has been designed for Japanese.(IME Atok)
(I'm not sure it works or not in other languages.)
Thanks.

OK, I'm not brave enough...

Anyone else willing to run an executable from an unverifiable source :?:

Tom's other 2 posts are innocuous enough, and started over a month ago, so it doesn't look like someone who registered just to post a trojan.
Tom, can you tell us if you've tried this, how it works, and where we can find a URL that lends it some cred?
Here's what I could find that might help (Jap translated page). Looks like a competition to write such a proggie:
http://216.239.39.104/translate_c?h...=50&hl=en&hs=vfu&lr=&client=opera&rls=en&sa=G

Woohoo! I found a few more Jap/Chinese pages, and developed a level of comfort that this was a competition, and that the app exists and does what Tom suggests. It's AWESOME! U get a little icon on the title bar (would like to get rid of this some time), and it changes to show ctrl and alt mode. You can set different keyboard keys to be ctrl and alt, and when u press them u can now move backwards and forwards 1-word at a time and all the other things u would expect.
Nice going Tom - sorry to have been so circumspect. We would love for you to tell us more about what those darned clever Japanese dudes are doing for the Universal.
PS: For n00bies, put this exe file in your \windows\startup folder. Right-click icon for settings. Set ctrl to be your WIN key, and Alt to be your SYM key and you're a-for-away! Uuh, on second thoughts, I've no idea what the alt key does for me, so until I figure that out I'll keep my sym key as is
PPS: Sorry VJ - you were beaten to it! No worries tho, you can focus on some of the other stuff we're all dying to see...

Woohoo! Ctrl-Q,Del,A,C,X,V I expected - but Ctrl-Z is just a big fat bonus!

Most excellent! Any chance for an "ESC" key?

Wow, that's nice!
V

Hi all,
and thank you for your interest.
Last few weeks, I've been developing this app and not finished yet.
I will write a user's guide as soon as possible.
PS.heidy
I think it not hard to implement 'ESC'.
cheers

heidy: You might be interested in this.

In the setup page:
what do the 2 IME list do?
thank you

Hi francorg,
>In the setup page:
>what do the 2 IME list do?
You might be using single byte charactor like English if you don't use IME.
We japanese have to convert from single byte charactor(alphabet) to Japanese. (Chinese/Koria are same)
Alphabet <----(IME OFF/ON)---->Japanese
The settings are used for Japanese Input.
If you don't use IME. You can choose IME [none][N O].
that the best way to you.
thank you.

brilliant - thanks!
is tough choosing which key to lose though for Ctrl.... think i'll start with CAP LOCK - i've kinda got used to using Fn, Windows, Sym etc.
but finally - i can use command-line stuff like putty properly!

Great software, great guide. Thanks!

Working while keeping the ctrl-key pressed?
Great software! Thank you for that.
To make it perfect in my eyes, it would be great, if it would work as well, as long as you keep the key pressed. I would need it to jump word by word keeping the ctrl-key pressed and moving by hitting the arrow-keys. Would that be possible?

Jogi

I agree - this is how I would want it to work.
I haven't tried this software yet but I want to. Can anybody answer this question please? The user guide didn't seem to give me the answer:
Can I program the software to give me <FN> + <SHIFT> = <CTRL> ?
I.e. can I hold down FN and SHIFT to get the Ctrl function? Is that a combination of keys that's supported in the dropdown selectors? I don't want to lose an existing key to get the Ctrl function if I can avoid it.
And yes, I want everything!

Superb. Makes my Exec a whole lot more useful.

Has anyone figured out how to copy some text as any highlighted text gets wiped out when you enter 'C'
Mike

ctrl+c it just works. Doesn't clear the text at all.

is there a way to use the button mapped to Ctrl solely for Ctrl?
I use "CAP LOCK" as Ctrl, and although it works fine as Ctrl, when I start typing again, my writing is all in caps :-(

[new release] VJKeyPress

Guys, I've made a generic keypress app. I'm sure one exists elsewhere in the world, but I wrote mine.
It can be used to send any virtual key from the command line.
So you could set up a shortcut eg
VJKeyPress.exe 93
will show the "context menu" for the current app.
91 will show the start menu.
27 is the escape key.
Check it out on my website, www.vijay555.com
Don't forget to click on an ad or make a donation!
EDIT - 19.04.06: added -cut, -copy, -paste.

Great ! Very useful !
I was wondering whether it is possible to activate/desactivate the GPRS with your keypress app ? :?:
Hmm, never thought about it. Are there no hacks already around for this?
If not, stick a request on my forum on my website and I'll try to get around to it if no one else does.
V
No, never find a hack for this...
Ok, I'm going to write a request on your forum for this :wink: thanks !

Are you looking for this app? http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33313&highlight=gprs+disconnect
cktlcmd - I don't think that's quite what he wants. He wants an executable that will disconnect from GPRS.
If no one else comes up with one, I should be able to write one.

Thanks for the link :wink:
Unfortunately, this is not what I'm looking for...
I'm looking for a little software that can be launch by a shortcut (or directly) in SPB Pocket+ or XBar that can activate/descativate GPRS Connexion.

Hi ViJAY555,
iam searching for a tool where i can easily copy stuff to the clipboard. I have seen this at my trial of Wisbar Advanced that i can configure each item in the taskbar to open a clipboard menu to copy and paste stuff.
Iam wondering for a long time why this is not possible also on the PDAs likley on the PC you pressing CTRL-C and CTRL-V.
The life would be much easier... I thought on your VJKEYPRESS but havent found any key for that. Maybe you know another tool whith this functionality?
topcaser: I believe the PHM Key tools includes this function.
I will be developing something to help with the clipboard, it's coming together slowly

do you have a link to the phm key tools. I googles already - not with much luck.
but i think, that you will hack anyway a good solution. In my opinion having a hardware key to copy and paste things is a great added value.
Topcaser - I don't have a link with me. I think they're posted on the forum somewhere. If we get stuck, I'll post it from home later. If we get really stuck I'll make a new app

Just tried www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/Keys/ on my Universal. Copy, Paste work fine! I use Record button for call both.

Yeah, PHM keys is better. PHM uses a weird API command that I can't get to work properly yet. Need to waste some more time on it when I get some time. But yes, PHM is definitely better for copy/paste.

Many thanks.

Copy and paste from Clipboard ( just like Desktop PC ).

Tool must be for WM5. I spent many hours searching, it seams tools for this functionality is very little choice.
I would like to do...
Copy to clipboard
Paste from clipboard
Between different applications, browser to word, word to excel, input box on form to text, etc
Needs only to be text, graphics not fussed.
I have seen a few tools out there most are not WM5.
I have reviewed PQz11, but it does way more than I need. I dont need the phone, task bar etc. Is one able to only install CTL C and CTL V features, then thats would be fine, any ideas ???
PHM keytools is best imho. However, VJKeypress does copy & paste,

TOTALLY off-topic, I know, but I had to reply to this one.
The use of "IMHO" is actually not related to SMS-style text at all. It comes from the early internet days when Usenet and IRC (Internet-Relay Chat) became popular, and geeks, always looking for a shortcut, shortened commonly-used words and phrases. You'd have IMHO, TTFN (Ta-ta For now), RTM (Read the manual!), RTFM (heh), and BRB (for Be Right Back), as well as quite a few others. It was also at this time that emoticons (smiley-faces) also gained popularity.
When cellphone SMSes and IM started gaining popularity, these shortcuts were a natural fit.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with slight use of these shortcuts, as long as they're commonly known. MY bugbear is the intentional misspelling of words to 'save on that one extra little keystroke' (which I see a lot of on these boards).

Great app idea

I was thinking about some annoying things about the Wizard and was wondering if anyone knew of a program that would let you re-assign button combinations for system shortcuts?
Like the Align screen. If you play emulators you probably know what I mean. Or the Run shortcut, pressing the enter key and holding the stylus on the clock is not worth it, but hold Windows key and hit "r" would be nice.
Anyone know of a program that will allow you to do this?
Or any Programming masters want to take this up?
PQz should allow you to do most of that stuff (eg windows key + r = run, I think).
Regarding the align screen, I've written VJCalibrula to disable that, but I've also written another tool to allow you to reassign most of the hardware assigned keyboard apps, eg reassign internet explorer combo, filexplorer combo, on the Hermes the video key etc. Also reassign the wired headset button to launch any app.
I could probably also write an app activated by the light sensor, but didn't think there was much point!
I'm going to try to build an app around the idea and release eventually.

Vijay555 I was kinda hoping you would see this do you know though if any of these work on the Wizard?
I tried VJCalibrula but the program didn't execute. Unless you have created an update since I last tried.
I did an updated VJCalibrula for your 2.26 rom, which one of your brethren tested and said it worked. Ergo:
Please test -
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/releases/vjcalibrula/vjcalibrulawizard.exe
However, to get some feedback if it worked, make a shortcut to the .exe and run with the command line -debug to get info.
The new unnamed app should work on pretty much every keyboard device, although I don't have a wizard and it really holds back my testing. VJVolubilis still can't be finalised because of this... one day
I'm still wondering how to present the final of VJ[...] button app. I'm using a rough and ready version for now, but I'll try to implement some kind of GUI eventually.
Ask me in a week or so and I'll try to send you an alpha if you want.

VJCalibrula does NOT work on the HTC Wizard (or at least my Cingular 8125). I am DYING for a release, as this Capcom emulator is freaking sweet, but this align screen nonsense is beyond annoying.

Microphone accessory - button for Voice Command

If you push the button on the microphone which comes with the X1, it answers a call. If you push it twice it seems to call the last person you called.
Is there a way to use this button to invoke the Voice Command monitor?
Thanks
I found it easier just to re-direct the Soft Buttons!!
Left for Voice Command, Right for Comm Manager
Stuart
Yep, that's exactly what I have. Best set-up by far.
But when in the car, it would be easier to use the mic button, so I'd like to double up on Voice Command access.
So.. no-one else has managed this either?

I am going to include Cyberon VC 2.0 in my rom but it will be Cantonese since it's my native language.

Beside the "push once', and "double push", a "push & hold" action will call this exe such as Voice commander in my example.

Do you read? Of course it does if you are talking about the button in the pic
If you "hold" the button, yr X1 will call the exe program specified in this registry. X1 stock rom does not comes w/ any VC program and you have to install one yrself. Of course, if you put in other program like Core player, it will be start if you hold the button.

Firstly, where have I been rude? Secondly, this has nothing to do with searching. I would challenge you to find a single thread on this subject anywhere else on the whole internet, started before this one. If you're going to criticise at least make some of the criticism partially relevant.
Jackleung, thanks for the solution, but in response to your manner, if you post an arbitrary reg key (a key which has no logical connection to the described solution) and which doesn't work if the instructions are followed (due to the wrong syntax), you should expect for that solution to be met with scepticism.
Coming bach to the original topic:
I wrote a script (thanks, Mort!) that enebles the tap&hold (2-3sec) of the Microphone Button to jump to the next track in Mortplayer (if it is running).
Just copy the two files attached to the \Windows\ directory and change the Registry entry as descibed in Post #5 to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path = "\Windows\MP-NT.exe"

There are two different ways for the X1, to remap the soft keys. One is via the button settings in the windows settings, which is a global override which causes the buttons not to behave as softkeys anymore, and the other is via registry setting (have a look into the Wiki here), that maps specific applications to the softkeys while in today view - this way, the softkeys stay available in all other applications. I personally prefer the last approuch, because I don't like fingerprints on my screen.

No, this only works with mortplayer as you need the possibility to change the track via an exe file or at least an exe with a parameter (like in my script)...If you find a way to do this with the media panel (which i doubt you will ) we could have it...otherwise not.

Dear developers,
I have a kind of sickness called reading.
So I bought this lovely monster but despite I have installed the "friendly" showcase I have some problem in reading using my dictionary(slovoed)
To switch on the fly between album(I have scanned books..lovely) and slovoed, or slovoed and ubook/ereader/foxit reader/adobe/opera I have to push the windows hardware button and then tap on the application. Now the problem arise because I read always in my leisure and I have to follow the procedure outlined above every day thousand times!
I thought that could be really usefull if I could use the volume up and down as in windows xp we have alt+tab.
Ok I am aware that I could install a button hardware sw, but the problem would be that assigning to an hardware button the launch of the task manager, then I have to tap the application i am looking for. Anyway I would remember with opera is not pratical to use a classical showcase tsk manager because you have to tap before to obtain the external gui.. and furthermore it is not pratical at all do not use switch between the wi fi and roaming having the task manager inserted on default
thanks

mmh thanks but it is a waste of time to write on the screen when I could switch with the apps with the volume, I think it is really pratical, and to be honest I can not figure out why none thought about that.

Erm.... His answer is NOT a waste of time. It is almost exactly what you have asked for and will 100% solve the problem that you have proposed. Can you please tell us why it HAS TO BE the volume buttons that flip applications? You told us that you want to switch between 2 different apps, back and forth, and the answer given above does exactly that. Please give a different suggestion as to the use of volume buttons, rather than an impractical one.

I apologize! I will try the software recommended. anyway I have monitored an other issue, when I switch applications especially with the notes, that I love to use jointly to swaype, unfortunately for some reason the keyboard change to the default one, that for me has less effectiveness than swype that instead it is really cool to write notes on the fly of the document I suppose to read.
cheers dear chap, good for you that do not need a dictionary to look up English words like me . Anyway I have to consider that also when I open my books scanned on album when I switch I have tracked some issues, being the page focused not the one I have formerly open, but the total thumbnails/previews.
OT btw I apologize also for my English, just one year of practice

I've just installed the free AE Button Plus and I note that there is an Alt Tab function which you could assign to a hardware button on the HD2.
Better yet, just assign each of your many programmes that you mentioned above (slovoed/ubook/ereader/foxit reader/adobe/opera) to different buttons and you can launch any programme you want instantly - directly. No need to cycle through Alt Tab to find the programme you want.
You may ask - HD2 does not have enough buttons for each and every programme I use? Well, AEBPlus recognises single button press as well as double, triple and long hold button presses meaning that each button can have up to 4 assigned actions. There are some restrictions to this though - see the above forum.
Hope this helps!
