Does anyone know how to get the delete key to work on an external keyboard.
Also, the Ctrl C style of windows shortcut doesn't work (I'm using Xtralogic Remote Desktop for work). I think it's the Ctrl Key just doesn't exist in Android??
I think other keys are missing, like; < and >
Any ideas?
Cheers, Mal.

Got myself a used XDA Keyboard (G7B0) UK layout, without manual or CD. So far, I enjoy using the keyboard for typing documents on the go (beats bringing my laptop).
Does anyone have a list of keyboard shortcuts that work with the different WM2003 applications? I'd like to minimize the taps to the screen while I am using the keyboard because I touchtype with both hands and it is a bother to pick up the stylus every now and then.
One particular application I'd like to find shortcuts for is the Inbox application. For example, is there a way to press the 'Send' button from the keyboard?
Also, where can I get updated UK drivers for the keyboard? The version I have is 1.22. I've seen version 2.0 drivers out there but they're for US or German layouts, which messes up the key mapping on my UK version keyboard. I am hoping a new version will fix a problem with the keyboard being disabled everytime the PocketPC wakes up.
Thanks!
I don't have an external keyboard, but on the onscreen keyboard the typical Windows shortcut keys work in many applications I use -
Crtl-X = Cut
Crtl-C = Copy
Crtl-V = Paste
Crtl-Z = Undo
Crtl-Q = Exit (minimize) application
Crtl-U = Format Underline
Crtl-I = Format Italics
Crtl-B = Format Bold
Crtl-N = New Document
Click, then Shift and Click again = select a range of text, files, cells, etc.
Hi All,
In my old XDA the keyboard had a CTRL key which was so easy to cut and paste but the HD2 keyboard is very cumbersome when copying and pasting.
Anyone has suggestion for an alternative keyboard app?
Cheers.

Just press and hold your finger on the text and you will get a pulldownmenu with the commands "copy" and "paste". This is the only way, i know.
Thanx mate..... but I know this function but sometimes it's so hard to highlight the text and then try and copy/cut as soon as I put my finger again on the same place the highlighted text get cleared as the system kind of recognises as I dont want the selection ......sometimes it does work I have to admit but most of the time it doesnt and i just like using teh CTRL function as its kind of neat (thats my understanding) ..... anyone has any alternatives????

You can use FingerKeyboard for this. You can select text by pressing the 'shift' key and then select the text with the arrow buttons. When you have the right selection, you can copy this by pressing 'shift' and then X. To paste press 'shift' and then V. Even shift-Z and shift-X works, exactly the way it does on a normal keyboard. I use it very much.

ok, and how can i then replace the selected text with a capital "V" (when shift-v is the shortcut for paste, which is ctrl-v on a pc) ?

I'm sorry, I was wrong. You have to press shift and hold (!) the Z, X, C or V button. When you press shift you also see the caption of buttons change. Above the Z you can see 'undo', above the X 'cut' and so on...
Swype has a dedicated copy and one for paste in the symbols/edit section
Thanx for the feedback ....i'm going to try these but i just wish i could have that ctrl button.........hehehe
try swype is much better than the default kb
These are basics features of TouchPal :
Copy, paste, text selection, selec all, home, end, page up & down, etc...

hi,
is is possible to change the standardapplications that are startet when pressing the buttons on the dock? for example when pressing the browser-button (above the 7) it should start opera instead of the stock-one...
thx in advance,
canedha
theroretically yes but i have yet to find the correct file
it should be somewehre in /system/usr/key-something (dont remember) the key you are refering to is key 150 and that launches the "explorer" function
so if you can find out where "explorer" is defined you can chenge it there

You can also use the app AnyCut to create custom shortcuts:

As we know in ICS there's compatibility with many bluetooth keyboards, including Apple Wireless Keyboard.
So I have a little request:
1) How to remap function buttons for working as MENU / HOME / SEARCH and application shortcuts ?
2) Is it possible to make ALT (option) work as creator of non-english characters ?
3) Maybe it's possible to make shortcuts like CTRL or CMD +c / +v / +x ?
I'm sure I'm not the only one who want to use this keyboard with android phone or tablet
so THANK YOU very much in advice !

The Cmd/Tab combo works nicely. I wish there was a "home" key though.
I would like to be able to save a custom keyboard command, for example, CTRL + /, so that, for example, if I'm using Figma on my touch device (within the browser), I can hit this button and that keyboard shortcut will be "executed". In this instance, for Figma, it would toggle all of the UI and leave just the canvas.
Does such an app/widget exist?

The Figma app should support it, right?
Im not sure about anything else that can trigger UI elements.
Unfortunately I don't have access to the Figma app (it's in closed beta), I'm just trying to use it in the browser

Tried here?
Keyboard shortcuts for Figma
A visual cheat-sheet for the 119 keyboard shortcuts found in Figma
usethekeyboard.com
It has that.
If you have a physical keyboard it mught work.
Thanks Kenora, I'm trying to avoid having to connect physical keyboard .
I'm looking to use Figma in the browser on my Galaxy Tab. I can trigger the Toggle UI shortcut by pressing and holding on the background, but am hoping for a quicker way to trigger that function
