Isn't not true that you can map the keys using Advanced Configuration Tool?
Well, but i aint sure if you can do so "within" an application, instead of on the home screen though.

Remapping the two small keyboard buttons

There are two small buttons (each marked with a small horizontal line) on the keyboard. The left is over the letters R and T. It is assigned to the "Send" button for email. The trouble is that it is very easy to hit by accident when typing R or T, and then the email flies off prematurely! The right one is assigned to the Menu and if you hit it by accident, it is easy to correct (just hit the OK button). Is there a way of remapping these two buttons? Except for this issue, the email with Kaiser is perfect. Does the AT&T Tilt have the same problem?
See my thread here. Those are the same as the softkeys on the font keypad (so remapping one remaps the other). I ended up using AE Button Plus to remap those (and other keys) to other functions, which I like because of the additional functionality that can be assigned to double clicks, triple clicks, etc. But if you just want to remap it to something else, check that thread for some alternatives.

Err... I don't think this addresses the problem the OP has. I too suffer from this problem (must be big fingers!).
When using Outlook the soft keys change function so remapping the Today Calendar softkey, for example, doesn't help.
Anyone else got a solution to this problem, I'm fed up with sending half-finished e-mails!
I haven't played with AE Button Plus, but if you can assign "No Action" to a button (which some of the add-ons let you do) and do that for the messaging app specifically, then that would be a solution to the problem of large fingers/thumbs. The you could remap one of the FN keys you never use to the context menu or send...

As PerfAlbion pointed out, you can just remap them to nothing. I remapped these keys, not because of the problem with the keyboard, but simply because I never used them since it's just as easy to use the touch screen. But if you want to maintain the softkey functionality on those buttons, use AE button to map a single press to nothing, and a double-click (or even a click-hold) to the softkey function. You would then still be able to use them for their original purpose, but they wouldn't be as easy to accidentally activate.

I'm sorry, I must be missing something obvious here.
Any of the soft button remappers will NOT work on application-specific softkeys - AE ButtonPlus specifically says this in it's FAQ. Remapping the "send" key is application-specific - it only becomes the Send key when you launch Outlook. So how did you manage to re-map this key?

The distinction is between remapping the softkey, or remapping the hardkey that correlates to the softkey. What the remappers can't do is change the function of the softkey... if, for example, Outlook is coded to make the left softkey the send key, you can't change that. That's programmed in to Outlook. But what you CAN change is whether or not the hard button that corresponds to the left softkey is recognized as the left softkey. For example, I've remapped the single press of the hard keys that correspond to the L & R softkeys to copy and paste, respectively. If I open Outlook, the soft softkey (the button on the touchscreen) is still going to be send. But my hard button is no longer mapped to be a softkey, it's mapped to be copy.
I used all the programs from the thread that you pointed out, including the cab file that was mentioned. This allowed me to change the left front soft key but does not affect the assignment of the left keyboard soft key as "Reply" when in email mode and with the keyboard slided out. Is there a way to change the left soft key assignment only for the email (eliminate the reply option) or just inactivate the left soft key altogether? I have installed the SoftKey applet form your thread in my Settings.
I sent my reply to one of the earlier messages wihout having read all the answers that came after it....I was out of the office for a couple of hours..my apologies. I will find the AE button plus and give it a try, but is there any registry solution? they usually work the best.
I downloaded and used the AE Button Plus, and it worked! I set it to double press and that did the trick. The program is very good by the way, the only one that allows multiple pressing options, etc.Many thanks!
I have benefited from this thread!
Thanks everybody.
Adequate description on the issue provided, and adequate solutions and then a follow up post.
A really appealing solution would be to isolate the keyboard softkeys from the front ones. I tried the double press method but it turned out to be incredibly annoying and I'm not sure that constant annoyance is outweighed by an accidental softkey hit on the keyboard. What I'd like to do is disable the keyboard softkeys while leaving the front ones completely intact on a single press.
I find it surprising that you even need to use the softkeys, period. I came to the Kaiser from a Smartphone edition phone (no touchscreen), which I had for for over two years. So I was completely accustomed to using the smartkeys. Yet, surprisingly, once I got the Kaiser, I found myself immediately and instinctually accessing their functionality from the touchscreen rather than the hard buttons. Perhaps because the hard buttons aren't directly under the screen like they were on my smartphone, so the tie betwee the label and the button wasn't as obvious as it was on the smartphone.

Thank you, AE Button Plus worked great. I just deactivated the "Left Softkey" and now I don't have to take care of that damned button anymore.

I've been using touchscreen pocket pc's for a while and no such instinct has kicked in.
so no one has an answer besides installing that AE button plus prog on the phone?
try removing the actual key. i wouldn't try it but it may work.
I'm really glad I found this thread, I keep sending half written and blank sms messages because of the left soft and keep doing weird things because of the right one. It's gonna cost me a fortune in text messages so I'm gonna go try that prog mentioned.
It would be better for a solution more specific to the application but this is certainly better than nothing!
the best solution I can think of is:
- remove the sender name whilst creating email.
if you accidently hit send it will prompt for sender info. when you are ready to send, simply insert the contact details in and all is well.
hope this helps some of you

Disabling hardkey on keyboard?

Not sure what they're called but I know they have a name. I'm talking about the two hard keys on the keyboard that also activate the softkeys on the screen. When I am sending a SMS I always accidently hit the send hard key. Is there a reg edit to disable the hardkey? I would like to keep the softkey though.
Thanks
Nobody knows?

In calendar appointment soft key options

When click on a calendar appointment...
The left softkey says reply and is faded out. And the right softkey says menu.
Having reply is silly in an appointment and not to mention the key is blocked from being used.
Is there any way to make this key an edit key like it used to be in WM5?
Thanks for your help.
Sorry to bump this. There has to be a simple solution.
Any of our registry guru's, do you know where I can fix this.
Anyone who uses their calendar often must be having an issue with this.

Hard buttons assignment

Hello,
Could you confirm that only the "Call" (hold) button can be customized ? (via the out of the box settings, buttons)
Did somebody manage to customize the "OK" button (hold) ? that would work from any application ?
Thanks

With my firmware the only available button I have on the list is the call button (Button 1).
The second button is hardcoded to lock phone.
And there is not way to associate anything to any other button.
C'mon HTC, this is SICK!

The second button can be assigned other functions like Data connection termination, airplane mode etc

It works, but you can't customize the new Back Key.
How about Hbutton? It works great on my Diamond and you can assign different programs to the Call ( hold) button at the same time.

Yes, but only to the call button. With this phone is just like you have two buttons when you really have 9 more but you can't customize them!

That's funny because I just did.
I set the "OK key" (in AEBPlus) this way:
1: Close active application
Long: "Coreplayer"
Now that dreaded back key actually closes the running program!
On the MDA compact 4 you cant even configure the call button!
I'm using Spb Pocket plus 4.02 TF3D and the taskmanager turned off
(using SPB Shell)
OK button = close
I think it's better then AE button plus, it doesn't support ok/close together.
So with SPB pocket plus you can make an appointment and push the back button to save and close the appointment

It works but with some bugs. No problem al all when TF 3D is not active as today plugin, you can configure every hard button to whatever behaviour you like. But when TF active strange things happen:
Red (hang) button, enter (circled one) and volume buttons always work in simple, double, triple and hold pressing.
Home button and return only work when you are not in home screen or if an app has been launched. Also they work if you are in home screen but after pressing start and the menu is showed.
Weird, don't you think?

Confirmed.
The best thing for MDA Compact IV is to reassign the 2nd Softbutton in the registry to VoiceCommand, make your own HButtons for WiFi-toggle e.g. and rename them.
My Perfect solution.

Use Advanced Config for this..
Or just change the following reg. keys:
In this case the left key is: Icontact; the right Key is Commanager
("HKLM","\Software\HTC\Manila" ,"HomeLSKPath","\Storage Card\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe")
("HKLM","\Software\HTC\Manila","HomeLSKText","iContact")
("HKLM","\Software\HTC\Manila" ,"HomeRSKPath","\windows\CommManager.exe")
("HKLM","\Software\HTC\Manila","HomeRSKText","CommManager")

Thanxs for your Speedy(quick) reply!!! (Speedy is because I work for Trotec/Trodat, maybe you know them).
It works!, of course, I hear you say
When, as in my case, the phone is factory default then the HomeLSK.. and Home RSK... are stil empty.
I put iGo8 in it and I am verry happy!
Of course, don't forget a soft-reset.
Thanxs again!
PS. The Austrian are always quick when you need help.
For 2 years ago I slipt of the road and before I could get out of my car there allready stopt 2 other cars to help me!
Einfach supergeil! It's my favorite holiday destination!

I meant that was the path to put in the registry. the rest IS the registry, there was no need for me to restate that.
For text you can put whatever you want to display. Like camera, cam, whatever.
