Anyone know of a registry entry that'll let me turn of the rotating functionality of the scroll wheel and have it be >just< a dPad? I would much rather it just work for up/down/left/right by clicking, not turning it. There was a registry entry to accomplish this for the T-Mobile Shadow, but it doesn't work with the TCruise

Is there a way to modify which apps the hardware buttons run?
There are reg keys to change the right softkey. I really want to change the voice dial one though. I never use it, but it'd be so nice to change it to something more useful like a task manager.
Which registry key exactly needs to be changed?
I'd like to be able to hook the two keys which are left and right of the 5-Way Navigation. Actually what are the official names for these keys?

I tried my best to change the "Voice Command/Voicenote" key at the left side (the one below the volume up/down keys). No luck yet. See the last posts in this thread:

Anyone else knows how to remap this key? And does anyone know how to remap the left- and right Softkeys?
EDIT:
Finally found the right tool for doing this. It's called AE Button Plus and it's great.

Hi. I'm trying to do something I can't figure out how, so I need some help.
I'm connecting to my server from my Hermes with PocketPuTTY. On my server I have Midnight Commander, which is easy to use etc. The only problem is I'm missing some keys on the keyboard, especially the arrow keys, which are not mapped with the same scancodes as a PC appearantly, and the function keys F1-F10.
So I'm looking for 2 things: 1) A program that can map scancodes to the keyboard, and 2) the actual scancodes for the arrow keys and function keys on a PC so I know what to map.
Any help here is greatly appreciated. I also want to know if what I want to do is possible at all, at the moment I'm not too sure it can be done...
Thanx, Artur
maybe this could lead you in the right direction

or searchs like it
one can always test an ascii value by holding down alt and typing the dec value
Alright.. as we all know looking at our phones in the bright sunlight is a pain, so I was trying to figure out a good way to control the backlight without having to do too much work. I was thinking that we could assign a hard key to launch an application, and then from there our volume controls or scroll wheel could adjust the backlight. Is there a program that does something similar already?

Why not use a plugin?
Or, if you want a hardware button assigned, create a shortcut, .lnk, name it "Backlight.lnk", throw it in the "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs", and there you go!
Edit: Here's the shortcut attached, just make sure you change it from ".txt" to ".lnk"
That didn't work for me.
Oops, forgot to delete the first few words, here it is, should work.
I kept searching around and I came across this:

This worked just fine. I mapped it to my Voice Record button. Now I can just hold the button, and adjust the backlight with my scroll wheel.
Thanks for your help!
Does anyone know of any browsers that either have the ability to "bind" keys, or have directional buttons?
What I need to do is mimic the left and right arrow keys found on a normal keyboard.
I know there are a few keyboard apps that have these, but the problem is the page I need to use this on doesnt have a text box so the keyboard 1. does not pop up, and 2. does not interpret the arrows correctly.
Basically the page Im trying to do this on is a flash based page where you press either the left or right arrow key to get your next assignment. There are no visual "next" and "back" buttons on the page, which is making this really hard!
I just tried this app, and set my search key to "dpad left" and it didnt work in the browser... Maybe its not possible, idk.
Can someone please help me?
So, I'm loving the hell out of my Surface RT (64GB with black Touch cover) except for two things.
1: I use the actual function keys (F1-F12) a lot more than I need a shortcut key for the play/pause button or the Share charm. Due to the placement of the Fn button on the right side of the keyboard, it's difficult to use the keys the way I'm used to. For example, Alt+F4 is now Alt+Fn+Play/Pause, and requires two hands. If anybody can find a way to toggle the default state of the Fn key, I would be super-grateful! Ideally, I'd be able to actually remap he keys like you can on advanced USB keyboards; for example, I need the Home and End keys too, but rarely use F8-F10 so I'd like to remap those.
2: The default direction of the multitouch scroll drives me up a wall (but only if I try to drive down it). It's a pointing device, not a touchscreen, dammit! I expect it to function like a scroll wheel on a mouse, or the side-scroll on older PC touchpads, or the TrackPoint scroll on the Thinkpad, or... you get my point. Yes, I get that Apple did it first; they were dumb then, are still dumb now, and MS was very dumb to copy them. On the other hand, at least Apple lets you change it! If the direction of this scroll can be reversed (preferably without screwing up the scroll wheel of an actual mouse, if I were to connect one), that would be amazing.
I was really hoping that the included drivers would include controls for these things, the way Microsoft's normal mice and keyboards come with highly configurable drivers, or most Laptops come with fairly advanced Synaptics touchpad driver controls. If any of you have contacts at MS on or near the Surface team, tell them that we really want some drivers like those, please!
have you been able to resolve the Fn key issue?
