I paired a BT mouse to my D3 and it worked well, I had the cursor and everything. I was wondering if someone knew a way to map mouse buttons. My left click is select, my right click is back, but I can't access menu or search.

get a mouse with more buttons?
does the mouse map to keyboard commands? there's a search button there. the OG keyboard had a menu and back button too. seems to me there must be a way to program those.

when i open the keyboard and try to play a game (or even launch programs) in landscape left mode, usually up and down is now left and right and left and right is up and down. the only way to solve this problem is to remap the keys all weird, that is if the program lets you. mostly only emulators will let you remap the keys. Has anyone else experianced the same problem? im sure it's easy to fix.
I think it's intentional. That way up on the D-Pad it toward the top of the screen.

ok i know how to word what i was trying to say now.
on most games, there is a portrait mode and a landscape mode. well, in the landscape mode not only does it flip the screen, but remaps the controls for you. then when you slide out the keyboard it remaps the controls again, so now they have been remapped twice, causing it to not work correctly. get what i mean?
Yep, I understand now, but I don't know what to do about it. You have 2 rights making it wrong.
Hello,
I have updated from my much loved G1 (rooted updated to CM6) to the SGS, I'm really happy with it so far, except there is no trackball... and I've found navigating around text to be extremely irritating, especially if the text in say the google search box in the stock browser is overflows, you cant move the cursor to the end of it by the touch screen.
Am I missing a trick here or is this something I have to live with? [long press on text in the iphone brings up a magnifier to move the cursor around, considering TW is an iphone clone I thought samsung would have added something similar]
If you use Swype, swyping the bottom two left keys from left to right will bring up the arrow keys. You should be able to navigate your text with that.

Thanks for that, having no rollerball / D-pad on the SGS was a bit of a pain after having a HTC Hero, but not any more

You're my saviour. Marry me!
Cursor arrows are also available in the normal Samsung keyboard by long pressing/holding down the '?123' button on the bottom left corner.

omg I love you.
Wow... This is really nice to know!!! Especially after coming from the Samsung Omnia i910 with the wonderful optical mouse option. I wish they would have put that option on the SGS!!!
No problem guys, just glad I could help ;-)
Wow thank you very much for that tip. Im coming from a Nexus and Ive been switcing to Smart Keyboard Pro just for the dPad in there. Many a thanks!

EDIT: Got it! Never knew that... now I love this phone even more! :-D Thank you... That was a priceless piece of information!

Why on earth wasn't this told to us by the phone when we first used Swype? This makes things much easier, thanks for the tip!

Yep, they should've added it to the main tutorial. But it's mentioned in under 'More Help' when you long press the 'i' (information) button.
In Froyo, when you click on a text field it brings up a little blue cursor mover, it looks like a blue circle with an triangle on top. This allows you to positon the cursor by pressing on the circle and moving the cursor. It also allows for selection and copy/cut/paste. It is a big improvement over 2.1.

Looks like that option is not available in Froyo (long press and arrow keys) unless i am missing something?
Hi,
I have a Bluetooth Keyboard and I was wondering if there is a way to map a key on that keyboard to function as the four soft keys (Back/Options/Home/Search).
The keyboard works fine but having to go back to press "Back" etc kinda defeats the purpose.
I'd like to do this too, did you find anything out Jon?
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.

Hi all,
I have been struggling to make the desktop dock experience playable. I have tried different manual configurations using game genie/ key mapping, and unlike tencent gaming buddy app (on PC), which provides a very stable experience using keyboard and mouse, the experience sucks when using my mobile and desktop dock.
Has anyone been able to get the right key map and sensitivity settings to play pubgm using the desktop dock? Can you please share the screenshots/ details?
Thank you!
Guys. Just a gentle bump to the thread. Requesting your help. Just a simple screenshot would suffice! Thanks.

What specifically are you having problems with? Sensitivity? Too fast? or key binds and what key binds specifially.
only problem is when mapping button is on (especially when perspective button is on), the mouse is disappeared. very frustrated when can not control by use mouse.

Thanks for asking. I have problems with:
1) Sensitivity settings. At times too swift movement with mouse. At times not at all
2) Key binds - Possible to use an alternate button to middle mouse to activate/ deactivate mouse pointer? Also, possible to run in the game using long press "w" without having the need for an extra keymap to run?
3) At times the dock just fails to respond to mouse movement

Any update on this, I recently bought my dock and I'm facing the same problem with my mouse.
