Got a question.
Got a Touch Pro last weekend, but the "del" key isn't working.
I pressume its broken, cuz the keyboard backlight doesn't go on when i press it.
Is there an app out there, that gives me a onscreen del key whenever i type anything?
Or a howto to make one myself?
Why dont you use the "Raphael Keyboard Remaper" to bind backspace to the right shift key, an onscreen backspace isnt so easy i think.

Very VERY nice first post, dunno why i didn't think of that!
Topic can be closed, it's "fixed" now like DaDevil said.

Sorry for this but while I was looking for something else I come across a post that mentioned a reg key to change the right Shift key to Ctrl key. At the time I was not paying much attention to it but now when I wanted to know more about it I can't seem to find that post. I dont even know if it was posted here or in some other forum.
I know there is one called Ctrl Key Pro but that one uses the Alt key and not the right shift key for the Ctrl task.
Can anyone help?
Its Ctrk Key Pro. Just load it up and press Alt + 0 (zero) to get to the options. From there you can set your CTRL key and ALT key that you want to use instead of the defaults. I took a look and it doesnt seem to indicate left or right shift...only SHIFT. There may be a hex code for the left vs right...possible thats what you were looking for?

good question. I have that problem too.
well... not a real solution, but I've noticed, that if You write on hw keys with screen tilted, then it's less easy to press those two keys, as Your thumbs will have less space above them.

Got to the same pratical conclusion.
I'd be happy if someone got a workaround about this .

It true that when tilted that they are press less easy, still sometimes i press those keys. i almost always tilt the screen whem typing with hw keys.
Still it would be nice if there is an sollution for this.
AE Button Plus
I use AE Button Plus with no action assigned to a single press of the hardware soft keys (in other words, it ignores a single press of those keys). It affects the buttons in both portrait and landscape modes. If I need to access the single-press soft key function then I just need to press on the screen. I also have the single-press function mapped to a double-press of the hardware soft keys as an alternative.
lol....
And I was thinking I was the only one with that problem...
And got the same soluttion than you guys... tiliting the screens is not so easy to press those buttons
Can anyone tell me how to use the shift keyboard to press keys that aren't there?
For example, how do I hit DEL to enter the bios when there is no DEL key. Or how do I press / on the shift keyboard?
This is annoying.

you have to use the "Fn" button, which enable the blue part of the keys, like for example the "ins" button or the "F1-10" buttons.
I know how to use the function (fn) key, but there's no del or / in blue on any of the keys.
Caid.
What language keyboard does your shift have?
On my Shift, the del key is the 2nd one to the right of the space bar, and the / key is next to the arrow keys.
hehe
Yeah, too bad I didn't get to read your post about 3 days ago when I got the shift. I figured it out about 3 hours ago, that the keys are there, but have different symbols on them. Pretty annoying, really. And Canc means Del in Italian, that I'm pretty sure now
Thanks again for helping me out with that information

With a little luck, F11 is F1 + Fnc (my shift is in for repairs)
I remember having to press F11 for something, but I couln't do it...

As far as I know, Shift has no F11 nor F12.
And what is "Fnc" anyway?
I love the keyboard, but i realized i never use the enter key on it...and I was wondering if there was a way to replace the enter key with lets say a little optical joystick thing? Kind of like how the Incredible had the optical joystick or whatever you want to call it....but have it as an onscreen thing.

Smart Keyboard Pro has an option to change it to smileys. You can customize the smiley menu so actually you can make it anything you want. So you can set it up so just press that button to say "Hello" (idk if theres a character limit on it)

I appreciate the respond but i was hoping that it someone could customize and put a joystick or something in there...just so when i have paragraphs of text it will be a lot easier to navigate through and fix words...the size of the enter button is comparable to the size of the optical joystick thing on the Incredible and the actually joystick thing on the Eris...i know its wishful thinking just thought it would be neat.
I am with you there. It is a bit annoying to change letters by clicking and picking that blue picket to move it to the letter you want. Being precise on a captive touch screen is basically non existent.
I believe the keyboard app mentioned above has the ability to add arrow keys. I will check and update.

Smart keyboard pro has an option in the general settings to "show arrows". So as stated above it is imo the best choice.

Yes there is an option to show arrows. I don't use it because I'm pretty used to where to press to get where I want. But i remember a few years ago when I first got into Android, I did need the arrow keys and they did wonders.
Im missing a couple of keys on the dock just wondering if they are there Im just missing them?
Forst one is a delete key? As in delete whatever is to the right of the cursor or are we forced to move the cursor to the right side of anything we want to delete and then use backspace?
Also is there a physical recent apps key as in the key to the right of home on the touch screen navigation bar, when using the dock and touchpad it would be nice to hit a key and it load up the recent apps like using the home key.
If these dont exsist is it possible to customise the keyboard and change the current functions?
Thanks
[shift] + [backspace] deletes char right of cursor. For advanced key functionality try external keyboard helper.
