CM 6.1 keyboard

Is remapping a single key a difficult thing to do, for you smart dudes?
I don't use the voice key at all. Can that key be remapped to a right arrow key? I don't miss or need all of the arrow keys but having a way to move the cursor to the right would really make editting a multi-line message much easier. I can use the backspace to move it left and just retype the letters but moving right would be oh so nice.
(I'm not a complete noob but my programming kung fu is still lacking compared to a lot of you...)

bump bump b.. (for min char requirement)

Taking a shot in the dark but I am guessing you would need to modify the keyboard.apk(?) .. or add a new keyboard with this mod done.

You can always just modify the keyboard 'theme' and replace the key you want with a right arrow. It wouldn't work but it would look the way you want it to.

[Q] 1.6 STANDARD keyboard on 2.1?

Is this possible? I've tried a bunch of keyboards, and it seems that only the Japanese keyboard is similar to the 1.6 Standard keyboard and I would really like to have 2 main things from the 1.6 standard keyboard that none of the new ones have.
Half screen in landscape mode. All of these new keyboards take up the entire screen and I hate it.
Left and right arrows which helped me make spelling corrections in texts and e-mails.
Does anyone have a url to this keyboard, and could tell me how to install it?
Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for this too.

yeah me tooo....

If you use the HTC_IME you can set the volume buttons to do that.

But not everywhere, and it's too big
The old keyboard is the best for Dark10, it isn't a garbage

If you tap somewhere near where you wanna edit, you will see the text bigger in a scroller in centre of screen, you can drag that sideways to move cursor.

Moving between letters

Is there a way to move the cursor inside a word like when you use the arrows in a PC keyboard?
I often need to correct the spelling or add punctuation signs like: ¿ ¡ etc. And this lack of arrows is a problem.

Long press on the word you want to edit & a cursor will appear above the word. Slide your finger around until the cursor is placed where you want it. ;-) Don't press too hard when carrying out this manoeuvre.

Thanks! I had trouble figuring out the same thing. For some reason I thought I remembered reading to highlight the word then drag. Was wondering why I could never get it. This is very useful

Thanks, it does work. It's still kind of hard for me but at least I'm able to edit words this way.

Thanks for the info i was having the same problem now i have no problem moving the cursor between letters.

Missing my Scrool ball like had in HERO

HI
I am missing my scroll track ball as when i type any text and want to amend the text in upper line or something like i have to click on that particular part, having fat fingers sometime its impossible or take few more click with my fingers to get to that particular part of the text
so any one experienced this ?... i seen HTC DESIRE HD the keyboard got the arrows keys to move the typing cursor across but not in our Sensation
any other solution
Please excuse my poor English
Thanx

I came from the Wildfire which as the trackpad. I thought I would miss it but I don't.
I use Smart Keyboard Pro, and imo it is the best alternative keyboard out there. So customisable! You can add arrow keys with that keyboard. There's a trial version of the keyboard if you want to test it out and look at the settings.

Ahh, I feel your pain. I too miss my G2 trackpad. I didn't even realize how much I used it for that purpose until I was without it. I use ultra keyboard for my fix. The auto correct algorithm is the best I've used so far. And you can shorten the key height(or enlarge) to make the keyboard the same height as stock with the arrows included.

[Q] How to delete letter from left to right?

I use the SK4G physical keyboard very often. I couldn't find a way to delete a letter from left to right just like on the pc keyboard. The del key on the SK4G keyboard work like the backspace key on the pc keyboard.
I really need to find a way to delete text from left to right instead of having scroll to the end of a word in order to delete a letter.
Thanks for your help,
Hieu

on old sidekicks (Danger OS) it was Shift+Del. That has been removed and now both Del & Shift+Del function as a Backspace key.
Alt+Del functions as Delete Entire Line
I would like this, too.
