When composing a message there is no DEL button for erasing.
Only Backspace is available to delete the text.
Which means for correction the cursor has to be brought at the back of the letter to be deleted and then Backspace has to be pressed.
Where is the del button?
Cheers
On my Tilt, the Del key is Fn-Backspace.
using the hardware keyboard, function+backspace = delete
using the on screen keyboard, shift+backspace = delete
It works fine with hardware keyboard ( Fn + Backspace)
but on screen touch keyboard ( which i use most of the times) shift + backspace deletes only one character and switches back to backspace.
cheers.
Try CAPS+backspace= del key.
double tap SHIFT
on the SOFTWARE keyboard, if you want to achieve delete functionality for several consequtive characters, double tap the SHIFT key and that will lock the software keyboard into caps lock mode
now delete will not become backspace until you hit SHIFT again
same goes for when you want to enter all caps characters (THIS IS AN ALL CAPS SENTENCE), just double tap SHIFT and type away
so,
SHIFTx2 = CAPS LOCK
thanks. i double click on shift and then del button is there.
if long texts have to be deleted, i found dragging the cursor above the text thereby highlighting it and then pressing Backspace does the job.
This thread is closed now and thanks again for all contributors.
cheers.

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.
I use the softkeys sometimes on the main/normal/portrait keyboard, but I never use them when slided out - they are so tiny, and I always hit them on mistake.
Is there any way to easily disable them... ?
I use AE Button Plus, but I can't see any option in there to change these keys.
I use AEBPlus and set the Single press action to "None" and the Double press action to "Press Left/Right SoftKey" as appropriate. That way, if you accidentally hit the softkey while typing, you no longer do something stupid/annoying/disasterous like sending an incomplete email.
It means that the soft keys, when the phone is open or closed, will no longer register anything with just a single press but you soon get used to double pressing when you need to use them (or just use the on-screen softkeys).
Edit: Sorry, you said that you didn't see an option to change these keys in AEBPlus. There are options to change the Left and Right SoftKeys but these change the softkeys when the phone is closed as well as when it is open.
Is there a particular way to use the slide out keyboard? I find that when the key top part of the key is pressed, it might not register the input. However, if I press the bottom part of the key, the input will register. This is most evident with the C, Space bar and Back Space keys. Is there something wrong with my keyboard?

I've recently bought a Moto G, and whilst playing around with the Keyboard in Messaging, finding everything (particularly punctuation, the keyboard on my HTC Desire S had punctuation on the long presses of keys) I changed the "Enter" key to the "Emoticons" key, and now I can't change it back. In other apps, like Twitter and Facebook the "Enter" key takes precedence over the "Emoticons", and I can switch between them with long presses. However in Messaging this key is now firmly set to "Emoticons" no matter how long I press the key down for.
Can I undo this change and if so, how?
