I've been trying to map the back button (delete key) on my hardware keyboard to my OK key so that I can navigate one-handed in PIE using my scroll wheel and my OK key. I'm using AE Button Plus, and I'm trying to use VJkeypress to map the virtual keypress for this event.
However, the virtual key 08 isn't working.
I have a .lnk file with 52#"\Program Files\vijay555\VJKeyPress\VJKeyPress.exe" 08 and it doesn't work. If I change it to 91 then I can get the start menu to pop up.
Is there a different set of virtual keys for WM6?
I currently have a long press of my OK key to the left softkey, and this allows me to navigate back, but I can't use it in fullscreen mode in PIE.
Anyone have any ideas?
I wrote this short MortScript and then mapped it to the side OK button (just take the .txt extension off). If you're in PIE, it presses the back button. If you're in any other application, it clicks on the "X" in the top right. That way I can use the left-side controls in PIE. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the script. However, it doesn't work in PIE if you use full screen, which was the same issue I was having just mapping the left soft key to the OK key.
Is there a way to simulate a keyboard press (backspace) in Mortscript instead?
Try the command "SendBackspace" (without the quotes). I think that will do it.
Hi all,
Anyone can help to remap the hard button??
I want to change the Home key to Alt-tab, and the Back key change to OK/Close (1 press for ok and long press for real close the application). I have tried AE button plus, but not function very well.
Attached is the Alt-tab s/w i have used.
Don't know why HTC put a Home and Back key in WM pro device
Thank you very much,
did you reset the device after you changed the settings?
yes, but still doesn't work
There's a software called Hbutton. You might wanna try it.
Just tried Hbutton, but it doesn't work on diamond.........
Awww.. now how am I gonna survive on the diamond without Hbutton?!
There's another software called SmartSkeys (or something oike that) Not sure of it'll work.
Anyone got any suggestions on which software to use to map diamond buttons to many functionalities?
This one works on Diamond: AE Button Plus.
To my understanding from testing AEButton on the Diamond, I have realized that:
The HOME key cannot be remapped.
The Back key is essentially a "WIN" key. You can create a new button and remap the Back key. HOWEVER, the shortcuts DOES NOT WORK when you are at today screen. So here is what I do, I remapped the Back key single click to "Escape". double click to close program, long click to close all programs.
Thats the only logical thing i can think about using the back button due to the limitations.
Any ideas?
Escape = ok/close ?
With AEB Plus I managed to map "action long" to "task manager", but the setting doesn't seem to survive a soft reset.
Problem with TouchFLO 3D.
Disable TouchFLO 3D, you might map home/ok button by mappingware.
Setting -> Personal -> Today -> Items
Use SortInchKey, if you enable TouchFLO, you might map VolUp/VolDown/Ok(exclude Today screen) buttons.
Tried AE Button Plus 2.6.3, the "ok" button in AE Button Plus list can refer to back key, my setting is press 1 to minimize, long press to close current application. However, AE Button Plus can't handle the Home button. I already sent a request to them, hope their next version can sort it out.
I'm posting here to find this later. I use AEB on all my devices and want a Diamond. Hopefully it gets "worked out".

Yes, the mappings worked when TouchFLO was disabled. But when TouchFLO was enabled again, the mappings then didn't work.
Can someone please help me?
I use a golf GPS/Scoring program on my diamond (mobile golf scorer) and on it there is an option to use hardware button to turn display on/off, this keeps the gps active permantly. Its mapped in the program as 'button c' which from what i can tell should be the 'right hardware button' on a usual ppc.
I'm trying to map it as 'back button' using AEBPlus but it will only work on the main diamond screen or 'today' screen. I've tried mapping it to various buttons on the diamond but When i start the golf program it does not work.
Has anyone any ideas? I need to remap a button that will turn the display off no matter what i'm running.
Thanks again
I'd love to change the function of the "Back Button" aswell,
it has been annoying me since the first day I got it.
HButton seemed very promising, but sadly, it doesn't work.
Do hardware keys also have a registry number like the softkeys?
Like 112/113 for the softkeys?
Wondering anyone will use "Home" and "Back" button regularly....Maybe u guys can share your experience on how to smartly use this 2 buttons as I don't have any idea.........
Hello everyone!
This topic is very actual especially on all russian forums (hpc.ru 4pda.ru 4pda.info). Did anyone overcomed this difficulty with remapping hardware buttons? I tryed AEButton Plus but I was unsuccessfull in remapping the dimaond's "back" button - is there any one who did it? Please share the experience - it would be very very usefull to remap this button and to bind it to launching Dynamo3 task manager.
Thanks in advance.
ILya.
None of the programs named here work correctly on the Diamond, including AE Buttons Plus.
However, these buttons CAN be mapped. I know that because the capacitive buttons tester program can detect and show that you pressed these buttons. While this program is active, if you press the home key, it shows that you pressed the home key, but you don't go to the home screen. So it's possible, but only HTC knows how. We need their API's.

so this method willn't work too? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355141
the silly part on the htc side is to have 3 of 4 hw buttons do almost the same - if you are in an application, pressing home, back or hang-up button will act as "escape". am i wrong?
for one thing, it would be at least useful to have an "ok" button.
the ideal setup for me would be to use the "go to the tf3d home tab" function of the home key by pressing the "hang-up" button and use the home key as "ok"...
Hi all,
Just got my Tytn 2 for about a month, still trying to play around with it.
I've just installed S2U2 ver 1.21, and they got this cool feature of Volume Control.
I wish to assign the Volume Control to the Jog Wheel key press, but is there a way to do so?
I've tried with 3rd party software like AE Button Plus & HotButton Plus, but neither of them have any options to assign task to the Jog Wheel key press.
Can any expert help out this noob please? Like registry edit or something? Appreciate a lot.
Solution Found
After playing around for a longer period, managed to find the jog wheel hardware key as #0086.
Thus, able to use AE Button Plus to assign volume control to the Jog Wheel key press
I'm sure there is a program someone has written to switch you screen to landscape mode without sliding the keyboard out,could someone point me in the right direction please i have done a couple of searches for it and scoured through numerous pages but cannot find it.
Thanks
AEButton Plus. You can set a button press (once, twice, etc) to rotate the screen.
start - settings - personal - buttons - change assign to a button to <rotate screen>
When you get wrong direction of rotation you need to go to settings - system - screen and change orientation
Then you will get changing screen to landscape,
i got that on hold button 6
Ok i have looked into ae button plus and this is just for mapping keys,in the default rom keymapper you can't select <rotate screen> as a option to map to a button.does ae button plus somehow make this command available to you?
Just looked again and found it...DUH!
Thanks guys
u need this program
this is the best program i was found its the same as the guy on top say.
i upload it to my privet server so u can download it www.webmotion-design.com/screen.rar its 2 small cab and install them both and then add a hard butten to one of them .koby
Great tip. I never realized it was in the list for buttons. I have always wanted this capability assigned to a button rather than a 3 step process. Thanks.
Thank you for the tip!!!!! Awesome... my Tomtom now displays as expected
mirorr please
does anyone know a possibility to have the home button on the td2 closing an active application. its kinda hard to press the upper right X with the fingers and would be nice to have it on that button... ohwell it should close the app and go to the homescreen actually any chance to get that working?
Settings / All Settings / Personal / Buttons and there you can change function of your button (initial value is "Today")
actually i only have 1 button to configure there.. and im not even sure which one is that... its called button 1... ??
this is the answer button long pressed.
i use that for soft reset program
In most applications the back key acts the same as pressing the 'X' on the top right corner.
Only in Opera, as far as I know & maybe YouTube, that thee back key will act as 'Back'.
sadly this is not true.. even if i configure the answer button to ok/close it does not work properly. for example.. i open calendar and use the back button or press answer button a long time it will not close it - its still visilbe in the tasklist in upper right corner of the screen.
or is there maybe an app which will shutdown all open tasks when phone goes to standby mode?
