What do the CTRL and TAB buttons do?

I have a Fuze, so I lack these buttons by default. I was wondering if I should try to get them, but I don't know what they do yet to consider it.

what a crazy question?
Do you know what they do on a standard keyboard ,thats connected to your PC? The CTRL and TAB buttons on the standard PC keyboard do the same thing as on the PPC

Well, thats still not good enough.
I mean what good is a CTRL button on a phone? What can I do with a CTRL button on my phone? Turn on italics that doesn't exist?
What about tab? Does that let me go back and forth from clickable links? That'd be pretty useful. Does SHIFT+TAB work?
What about a keyboard button or two that lets me use the soft keys on-screen? The tilt had these, and this phone has a ton of useless buttons. Do any of these do that? Or maybe any of these you guys usually remapp for that? Can I remapp to that?

copy, cut paste comes to mind

exactly along with undo, save and open
if you don want them and dont have them whats the point of the thread?
Rory

Whats the point of this thread?
Are we ignoring the questions about TAB and focusing on the CTRL button? So I don't type up word documents or e-mail on my phone - suddenly I'm being attacked? Jesus calm down. I asked a simple question - I didn't see the need to copy and paste in text messages and you guys want to murder me for it.

alt+tab is a shortcut for windows Pc,but not for PPC...however,you can use a small software to switch window by alt+tab..

Well what about shift tab, which tabs links up instead of down? Does that work?

tab and hold for copy paste dont work in all apps
but in most cases using ctrl c/v works using the small onscreen keyboard
this is usefull one one need to copy something out of textbox like a phonenr or something like that
tab is useful if one is using a program where one have to fill various fields with data
and tab then moves the focus around between the input fields
shift is useful if one wish to make capitol letters
so the real answer is that keys functionality and usefulness is the same as they
are on normal computer keyboards

ctrl+a is very useful, selects all text or files.

Alright. So theoretically, how does this keyboard layout sound. (On the Fuze)
Caps - Changed to Tab
OK - Changed to CTRL
- (+) - Changed to OK (where it belongs.)
I would like to change more, maybe try and get softbuttons on, say, the left and right buttons. And the bottom left area is full of useless shortcuts to me, but I don't know what else to change them to.
AND DOES SHIFT + TAB WORK LIKE ON A COMPUTER?

[EB13] [MOD] Keyboard Tweaks -- '@' for SMILEY [UPDATED] 2.27.2010

I am currently working on some kernel hacks with the keyboard files to allow for some more goodies, I have to do it in-between classes, but I am getting somewhere.
Also anyone who knows how to modify API level KeyEvent changes get in touch with me. I am looking into creating my own ENDCALL implementation to only work while(in-phone) but my app is lacking. I think I will have to modify the actual Phone.apk to hang-up on keypress 107 event id.
**now included in some roms**
*thanks for the #include devs*
This only works if you have root and clockworkmod recovery installed see the stickys in the EPIC 4G DEVELOPMENT to get them first.
I, like a lot of people, got sick of the SMILEY button. I also barely use the search button on the bottom of the screen,
so I decided to change them and make them more useful.
edit: according to Geniusdog254 this will need to be reapplied after a rom update, unless it is included in the rom.
DEVS: please feel free to include this or at least a link to this post when updating your roms.
**changed mod method to clockworkmod recovery**
I have had several friends and members ask me how to do this... (they also asked for it to be made dummy proof)
I hope I have succeeded.
FOR NOOBS:
To Enable tweaks
1: download the attachments -
for only smiley to @ tweak
for only search to endcall tweak
2. install through clockworkmod recovery
option 1. use the clockworkmod rom manager to select file and flash
option 2. boot into clockworkmod recovery and select "install zip from sdcard" > "choose zip from sdcard" > then navigate to zip and install
To Disable tweaks (ie: go back to regular keyboard layout)
1: download the attachments -
for only smiley to @ tweak
for only search to endcall tweak
2. install through clockworkmod recovery ( clockworkmod < 3.0.0 only, I haven't had time to learn the edify scripting developers feel free to make it if you want to include it)
option 1. use the clockworkmod rom manager to select file and flash
option 2. boot into clockworkmod recovery and select "install zip from sdcard" > "choose zip from sdcard" > then navigate to zip and install
FOR SKILLED USERS:
1. Just download the zip file
2. use ClockworkMod recovery to install the zip files above
or
download, extract, flash the ones of your choosing from here
FOR DEVS and/or SKILLED USERS:
the changes are simple
I got the information from http://pdk.android.com/online-pdk/guide/keymaps_keyboard_input.html...
To make your own keyboard layouts just edit the .kl files in a notepad (gedit or notepad++ choose your flavor) then push them back to /system/usr/keylayout
- for search hack (melfas-touchkey.kl) - key 107 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED -> key 107 ENDCALL WAKE - then save.
changes:
-for AT/Smiley hack (s3c-keypad.kl) - key 42 SMILEY WAKE_DROPPED -> key 42 AT WAKE_DROPPED - then save.
'SEARCH' Button on the bottom will end calls and put screen to sleep while not in a call
this only affects the capacitive search button on the bottom (the bottom 4 on the main screen)
the hardware search button on the qwerty keyboard is still mapped to search
' - smiley' button on qwerty keyboard is now the '@' symbol... (I have no idea why this wasn't stock to begin with)
**edit**
added attachments for only smiley and only search button hacks
**edit**
changed install method to *.zip for clockworkmod recovery
**edit 2.27.2010**
included specific changes

Wow awesome!
I was pretty excited for the smiley button, but honestly have NEVER used it since I don't like the faces.
I actually use the Search button pretty frequently, so could you put up a separate hack for JUST the smiley/@ button?
Wait, does the search button hack only apply to hardware keyboard or to the capacitive search button also?

This is old news
I had the first post with it back in the good ole days in the G1 section lmao. My Search2Play app on the Market actually does this, but it remaps search to play/pause music. I really need to update it for the Epic & other SGS devices lol
Anyway, I was going to change the smiley to @ myself the other day but never got around to it. Kudos!
EDIT: Also, it WILL change between ROMs. They (almost) always wipe /system in the update script and then flash back, and even if they don't they always contain these files for safety. Not a big deal, but you will have to change it again after a ROM change

I went from a G1 to an epic 4g,

I didn't know that your tool worked for the capacative search button only, I tried it and it changed both of them.
Cant wait to see your updated app and stop using this crude workaround....

My app actually does the exact same thing your doing, replacing the *.kl file with one that has the buttons remapped. It's just packaged up into a nice shiny little box
Also, it works for all types of buttons, but on capacitive buttons it doesn't work when the screen is turned off.

thanks again.

Of course thats the point of open source lol. I wasn't criticizing you at all if that's what it sounded like, its great you figured that out for yourself. People like you & I who experiment with our phones until we make them work how we want are what makes the world go round lol

Just applied the button hack!
Both work perfectly! The capacitive search remap is really useful! Love it!

Sorry, having trouble installing...I have my phone rooted and busybox, but I'm getting what I think is an error message.
It says- 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

For some reason the bat file doesn't connect to ADB.
You have to throw all the files in your TOOLS folder within your c:/android folder or where ever your ADB.exe file is.
It should run fine after that.

thanks for lookin out,

Thanks so much! I was so stoked to see this post when I woke up, and can report the @ tweak under clockwork works like a charm. It's crazy how much work it's taken to get this phone back to the same level of usability as my OG Droid, but between this and the lockscreen hack, I'm the closest I can be now until we have froyo. Cheers!

this is great, but could you please create a version that lets you remap the long press of the search button to something like vlingo?

Does it require a long press of the search button to sleep the phone or hang up? I'm afraid of it being to easy to hit the search button and have it hang up or close phone when you didn't want it to.

For this release the longpress is still mapped to voicesearch
I can remap it if really necessary

Thumb Keyboard 4.0 - Beta (upd. Beta closed)

Update may 23: The beta is now closed. Thank you all for your participation and feedback. Please keep your suggestions coming. Suggestions and requests are welcome in the Thumb Keyboard thread in the paid-for app forum here on xda (link will follow)
--------------------------------
New beta 4:
Customizable toolbar. The toolbar can be switch on or off with a simple toggle. For phones as well as for tablet (Gingerbread and Honeycomb have more functions to assign to the toolbar keys)
New small keyboard for one handed operation on a 10" tablet. It also contains a "blind spot" which you can use to hold your tablet.
------
Thrilled to announce a brand new version of Thumb Keyboard.
It's a total rebuild from scratch of the current market version, therefore I decided to launch it first as a public beta.
Besides a whole new core that is optimized for Gingerbread and Honeycomb, the new version (v. 4.0) introduces a whole lot of new features:
multi-touch
Correct previous written words with suggestions
Shortcuts - store and edit much written phrases, mail signatures, logins and insert them with a simple tap
New addition to the prediction algorithm: predict a word based on a previous word
New: resize the width of the letter keys on the split layouts. With the option to adjust the height, one can now adjust the keyboard completely to ones own hands and device!!
Alternative suggestions for voice input. Just tap on the recognized word to see the alternatives
Redesign of the keyboard based on multi-touch chording. Entering numbers and operating the cursor keys was never more easy!
New style popup keyboards. Fling, slide and wipe and back to typing again ..
New design of the keyboard layout. Easier access of much used keys
Better esthetic integration with Honeycomb by the use of Honeycomb style windows
and more (and still more to come
The beta can be downloaded from thumb4beta.blogspot.com
(Because the beta was already out for some weeks for 10.1" tablets, some may wonder why this separate announcement. The reason is that the current version will support all screen sizes and layouts, just like the current market version. This means a lot more devices to be supported and a lot more test cases)
Looking forward to your feedback, suggestions, comments, bug reports (hope none ) etc.
-----
Update (May 3):
Version 4 beta 3.2: added Custom portrait/landscape layout combination * Smiley popup keyboards now on all layouts * new theme "digital red" * custom keyclick sounds * better dictionaries * 12 extra shorcut or quicktext slots * Return key in instant messaging apps * option to exclude contact database from predictions * some bug fixes

Awesome! Big fan of your work. We've talked via email about the keyboard. I still use it. Downloading now.

Thought I've send you mail too. Let me know what you think about it.

Personally I think this is a BIG improvement over the version over the version on the Market. One of the things I liked about the stock GB keyboard was you could tap previously entered words and change what was entered. Love seeing that in here.
The only thing I don't see is being able to set different layouts for portrait and landscape. Being a phone user, I like that the hide keyboard button is hidden.
Big speed improvements as well. Great job!

Thanks going to give this a try!

Thanks! The ability to set different layouts for landscape and portrait mode will certainly come back. It's one of the core functioneren of this keyboard. I left it out just to have something to do while the beta is tested
If you are on Gingerbread or Honeycomb you should try out the bigram predictions (only English supported right now). It will predict in many cases the next word with the previous word and just one letter. For example if you type "of" and then the letter t you get a bunch of relevant words starting with a t and that makes sense as the next word after "of". Great feature for phones. (It will also learn from word pairs that are entered a lot)

Nice, I'm loving it so far, I've been waiting for something that actually *KNOWS* what you want type next and learns other than swiftkey. The only thing I ask you, is please give us the option to enlarge the spacebar by removing the smile faces, comma, and or period key.
Thank you, and how else besides the blog and this thread can I keep up with the latest beta releases?

Will look into that.
The beta releases are all published on http://thumb4beta.blogspot.com
You can subscribe to that blog to get a notification when a change is made.

I've had a lot of downloads and yet no single bug report. I like to think that the keyboard is completely bug free, but that would be wishful thinking in the context of this giant project.
Any bugs? Please report them here or on the beta site.

I have found what I like to think is a bug.
Say I want to enter todays date. I long press the q for the number 1, the I select the "/" from the upper row and then I long press the t for the number 5. So far so good.
Now I want to enter a different date, like 29/5. I long press to get a 2, the I long press to get a 9. Now the upper bar is empty, and I can't select the "/" there
Another bug: I can't long press the p key to get a 0. All the other keys work.
And a little warning to Desire/Nexus One owners, if you long press the ?123 button while selecting a button on the lower row on the keyboard ( ! " ' : ; / ?), it will probably not work that well. It has to to do with the multitouch on those devices.It has to to with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhBRMaUn6Ig
If you want I can make a video showing all of these problems.

what about Portuguese - PT? Any plans on implement it?

very nice thank you nice sharing

I'm able to hold P to get 0. Using the standard layout.

After fiddling around with the different keyboards I got it to work too. After uninstalling and reinstalling however, it stopped working again.
EDIT: I found the problem, if I enable "long press for numbers and syn.." I can long-press P to get 0. If I disable it however it won't work.

Thank god a bug You are right, the standard-layout doesn't have a popup menu defined. Thanks for noticing. Will fix it asap.
Glad you sorted the other problem out. I couldn't reproduce it. In some cases the keyboard can act not as expected after a fresh install. In that case a simple, infamous reboot will fix the problem. (Seems like a general Android problem)

Hello ! I found a little bug : when you select azerty layout ... it shows on qwerty
Exept this, great work !

Connectbot with key mappings for CM7

I made a custom version of Connectbot that works with the key mappings in the new official CM7. Thanks to mkasick for previous work.
*NOTE*
In order for the keys to work, you must set the 'Directory shortcuts' option in Settings to 'Use left-side keys'
Here are the changes from the Connectbot git tree:;
- Smiley emits grave accent ( ` )
- Sym is now ctrl. Pressing Sym twice emits escape.
- Shift is tab (unchanged)
- Fn once is forward slash ( / )
- Fn + LeftArrow = Home
- Fn + RightArrow = End
- Fn + UpArrow = PageUp
- Fn + DownArrow = PageDown
I've attached the modified .apk as well as a .diff
Please let me know if this works out for you CM7 users.

I love you.

This is awesome. I made my own connectbot apk ages ago for the stock rom and just discovered that the keymappings were different in Cyanogen.
Only thing I notice is fn-N gives a backtick on my phone, instead of @, and I see no way to send an @. I'm using nightly-9 right now. It's been so long since I've built an apk it's going to take me a while to get set up again so I just thought I'd see if it was just me this was happening to.

it's not, that's the actual problem... anyway I mostly wanted to find out if it's something specific to my phone/install/whatever or not. Fwiw I get backtick for both smiley key and FN-N, and FN-smiley gives 0.
SYM works as control as expected, as do all the rest of the FN-letter combos as far as I can tell. Depending of course on what "directory shortcuts" is set to.

from looking at the patches, this one explicitly replaces "@" with "`" which seems to assume there's another way to get "@"... Maybe there is and I haven't figured it out yet.
The basic problem here is that either my particular phone or CM7 on the epic in general doesn't distinguish between Fn-N and the smiley key at the keymap level. I'd like to know if other people also have the problem with this version of connectbot where smiley and Fn-N both send "`" (backtick)
As a quick and gross hack, rather than figuring out the key layout stuff, i made a version that 1) doesn't replace "@" with "`" and 2) lets you generate "`" by typing [email protected] (ie, SYM-SMILEY)
(This is gross because "`" isn't a control character, but it's not the end of the world because [email protected] is traditionally the NULL char, and you can already send that with ctrl-space, so nothing's really lost. )
ps if you want this version for some reason, you're welcome to it, but it would be better if someone who knew what they were doing pointed me in the actual right direction.

Thanks for doing this, but not all key mappings are working for me. Shift is still Shift, not TAB, Fn '/' is not working either. I'm on CM7 nightly 11, using hard keyboard.
Also, if I get Shift working then how do I do a regular Shift?
thx

I edit /system/usr/keylayout/s3c-keypad.kl and alter it so key 42 and 43 are different.
key 42 DPAD_CENTER WAKE_DROPPED
key 43 TAB WAKE_DROPPED

This makes cm7 work fine with the latest epic connectbot, if I remember right.

Good idea... Is there a tool that lets you see the actual keycodes generated as you push buttons? that would be pretty helpful.

Thanks, hazridi! That works perfectly for me. Attached is my patched .kl file which you can just rename (to get rid of the .txt suffix this forum required for the upload) and drop into /system/usr/keylayout.

Hold down ALT then hit TAB, wait 1 second then release ALT key. If you keep hold down ALT you will see all the apps, if you release too fast it will open up google now. I don't think you could remap the search key.

remapping the search key should be as easy as the "browser fix" done in ICS. Essentially map that key, redirect to a new application, and done! Of course its a little more involved than that but it should be possible. Maybe ask one of the devs who did the browser button map hack see if they can help you

That exactly what I meant, you need dev's works. On my droid charge I could edit my keyboard file to map key almost anyway I like. If we figure out the parameter (word) for the search key, it should work. The file to edit should be in /system/usr/keyboardlayout/file.kl
