Hello, i successfully decompiled and changed my punctuation menu, and added custom smiley keys to it.
Now i am trying to have it ALWAYS display the smiley menu, not the smiley key where the enter goes, but when pressing and holding on the action key (whatever it may be) i want it to show the list of smiley faces. But i dont even know what the list of smiley faces is called or where the action for holding the button is.
Any help is appreciated. Need to get my brain rolling again :/
Just an occasional bump

I do a bit of text editing on my Palm and don't like having to take the stylus out of its silo when I'm using the keyboard, just to move text.
So how do I select text using the keyboard?
The Treo manual says:
Highlighting text
You can use the 5-way or the stylus to
highlight text on the screen:
• 5-way: Press and hold Shift ( or
) while pressing Right , Left ,
Up , or Down to extend the
highlight in that direction.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I must be doing something wrong, but I can't get that to work.
Hi,
The 5 way button moves you round a text (email, SMS etc) the same way your cursor keys do on your pc.
If you hold the shift key on your treo the 5 way button will highlight: > next character, < preceding character, v line below, ^ line above.
Multiple presses while still holding shift allow you to select large blocks of text easily.
Cheers
Angus

Yes, that's what the manual says. My point is that it doesn't work. Not for me. Not on my device.
The Shift key works. Pressing it (either the left or right one) displays the "up arrow" icon. The 5-way button works - I can move the cursor. Pressing and holding the shift while using the 5-way button doesn't do anything (i.e. I just move the cursor around the text without selecting anything).
Just goes to prove - should have checked it, it doesn't do what the manual says at all - although it does work on my old treo 600. What a pain!
yes, i have been email to palm, and also call up to palm. they say it is a mistake from palm company, and will update the rom soon!! OMG!!! That`s Suck!!!
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?
just got my Nexus 5 and really digging it so far.
The one thing I seem to be missing is the voice input key on the stock android keyboard, i still have the option checked for it in settings but all that is in its place now is a comma and with a hold down press just the settings button. it really bums me out i used to use that feature daily on my 4. so this morning i did a factory reset because it was there as i was setting up the phone. what it seemed to me was when i went to the input settings and disabled vibrate on keypress it disappeared and won't come back. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to bring it back?
You need to tick Google voice typing in language and input as an input option as well
you are on the ball! that did it! thanks for helping out a fool so quickly
You're welcome. I keep pressing it by accident because I'm used to the comma key being there on the cm keyboard on my N4.
Only just discovered that pretty much all the symbol keys have long press options, even though they don't display any subset options like the number keys.
This also fixed it for me! Cool
My single largest complain is the stock keyboard.
I was able to get the voice input key showing, but the need to keep the period key pressed to find the question or exclamation point seems a bit convoluted to me.
The one I can't stand is the freaking smiley key taking over the New Line key in the SMS/Hangouts app. I have to press the CAPS lock to see the New Line key
I wish I could disable the smiley key or swap it to have the new line key as default in the lowercase keyboard...
Never mind... I found 8sms app and it does exactly what I wanted, plus I like it better than the hangouts for SMS... :good:
OK, thought I'd try Sammy keyboard rather than my usual Microsoft one. Where on earth do I find emoji and can I have a button for them on my keyboard... I use them a lot.
Should be a smiley face where it says ENTER MESSAGE. Click it and it should open a toolbar with any and all emojis available. You can remap a button, but then you lose that button.
