What/ Where is button 9?

In the button settings there is an assignment of button 9.
Which one is it on the SX66?

On the O2 XDA IIs it is on the fold out Keyboard Second Button to the left of the space bar, maybe the same for the SX?????

you are correct
Thanks, you are correct, button 9 is a blank key between the 'tab' and ',' keys on the SX66 keyboard.

Del button

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.

Is Copy / Paste available with hardware keyboard buttons ?

Someone tried to use some of the special hardware keyboardbuttons in the lower left corner of the keyboard to copy / paste ?
Can one of the keys used as a STRG key in combination with C and V when entering text ?
Greets !

bump
Im interested in this as well, anyone have any ideas?

this is windows, use ctrl+c and ctrl+v

you can set the key to open a context menu, then choose cut/copy/paste

this is windows, use ctrl+c and ctrl+v
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That is the point, how do we get a "ctrl"-key assigned? The "strg"-key fotoingo mentioned is the German "ctrl"-key. Any suggestions?

i dont think CTRL + C works?

on the onscreen qwerty works perfect.

Yes, CTRL+C/V/X works with hardware keyboard. All you need is a software to map some of the key on your HW keyboard to CTRL function. I would recommend X1BC (use search on this forum)

Is it possible to set the Fn key + C / V / X to copy / paste / cut?

with AE Button plus you can set it up. eg you can map that weird au button so that single click = cut, double click = copy, and triple click = paste. Lots of other ways you can do it too, using other keys on the hard keyboard.

That's exactly how I use it, works great!
Also would the original poster care to take this solution and edit his first post with it. It's harder for others to scroll than to edit your first post.
Thanks

X1BC will help you, i tested it and worked fine!

Step:
1. Install X1BC
2. Change the registry:
"LongKeyTimeout" = 2000
"TabCtrlMode" = 2
3. Put X1BC.lnk into the startup folder, restart your X1
Tab + A (Select All)
Tab + Z (Undo)
Tab + X (Cut)
Tab + C (Copy)
Tab + V (Paste)
-------------------------
HKCU\SOFTWARE\JKing\X1BC\TabCtrlMode
Here are the possible choices:
0 - Do not use as ctrl
1 - Short press mode (short press to enable ctrl then press a letter; long press sends tab chr)
2 - Long press mode (press letter while holding ctrl; short press sends tab chr)

Is'nt it easier to use the natural keyboard and use <shift> & the cursor keys to select your text that you want to cut/copy, then use the on-screen keyboard to select <ctrl> & c (copy), x (cut) or p (paste)?

how to call out traditional keyboard

Hi buddies,
New keyboard of Topaz doesn't include ctrl and alt. How can i get the traditional keyboard back? Or is there any work around?
Thanks in advance.

keyboard
so, when you write a message, middle bottom you have a keyboard. click on it (try double click or exactly on the up sign and a menu appears to change the keyboard type). And select keyboard.

But that is without ctrl and alt

select keyboard, it has ctrl(the button with ctl), I don't know about alt though

Missing keys on Tab S5e Keyboard Cover

Regarding the UK version of this keyboard, I can't seem to figure out how to input '~' or '#' symbols with the key that displays '~', '#', '|', '\'.
Anyone figured this out?
'Pg up', 'Pg down', 'Home' and 'End' can be emulated by holding 'ALT' and pressing the directions but only sometimes.
e.g. 'ALT' + Left arrow will execute the back action in Chrome browser.
Same for 'Esc' when holding 'ALT' and pressing the top left button. This does not seem to be just the escape function when using VIM in a terminal.
This is quite frustrating because I purchased this setup to do server work and I use these keys quite often.

I don't know how to help you, but can't you install the KeyMapper app to set key combinations for the missing keys?
