Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Spotted this tweak at the MoDaCo Tornado Section posted by forum member dq366. What the tweak will do is to allow you to use keypad buttons to scroll up or down PIE instead of the usual scrolling down the page via the action button / joystick. Thanks to dq366 ;) Target device: WM5 Smartphone Requirement: Registry Editor Instructions: 1. Open your favorite registry editor then navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer 2. Create a new key 'KeyMaps' (without the quotes) 3. Under KeyMaps, create 2 new DWORD values: 50 with a value data 1 56 with a value data 2 The entire KeyMaps entry should look like this... The key name is the keycode you want. 50 = Key 2, and 56 = Key 8. Other values available are: 1 - Page Up 2 - Page Down 3 - Top 4 - Bottom 5 - Horizontal Page Up 6 - Horizontal Page Down 7 - Horizontal Top 8 - Horizontal Down 9 - Default Layout 10 - Desktop Layout 11 - One Column Layout 12 - Full Screen Toggle 13 - Show Pictures Toggle 4. Exit registry editor once you have mapped it to your favorite keys. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Absolutey brilliant! Nice one dq366, and nice spot gpcarreon ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 The screenshots are not from a WM5 device though. :D Oh well. Different device, same screen size, same registry targets...everyone happy with the info. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HerpezP Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 This seems nice ;) Two questions: 1) Will this work on WM2003SE on my C500? (Works on C550 it looks like, gpcarreon?) 2) Can you map things to other keys than 2 and 8 - and what will their keycode be? Maybe '49' = 1, '50' = 2, '51' = 3,....?

Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 A C550 was used to take the screenshots as I don't have a WM5. Screenshots were taken only to demonstrate how the registry keys appear. Unfortunately, the tweak appears not to work on the Hurricane. I strongly believe the tweak will not also work on the C500. ;) You can however use a utility to enable fast scrolling in non-WM5 device. Check out the link below. http://www.gpcarreon.com/FastScroll.zip A script-driven way to do fast scrolling in non-WM5 device (Smartphone2003/ 2003SE): http://www.gpcarreon.com/?p=224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HerpezP Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Thanks for the reply, gpcarreon, and thanks for the FastScroll app - things like that should be implemented in PIE from the start. It really makes navigating faster. There really should be more options linked with the numpad, so that you could use the advantage of having them on the phone. I love to be able to control everything via the numpad in e.g. TCPMP. A search function for text based search would also come in handy sometimes ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goatpunch Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 2) Can you map things to other keys than 2 and 8 - and what will their keycode be? Maybe '49' = 1, '50' = 2, '51' = 3,....? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, the keycodes match the ascii values for 0-9: 48='0', 49='1' ... 57 = '9'. I don't know the keycodes for '*' and '#' - it's not their ascii values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I think :-k 119 Star (*) 120 Pound/Sharp (#) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goatpunch Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I think :-k 119 Star (*) 120 Pound/Sharp (#) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes that works. In case it's helpful, here's the mapping that I've set up: Key => Value 119 => 11 (maps Key '*' to One Column Layout) 120 => 10 (maps Key '#' to Desktop Layout) 48 => 9 (maps Key '0' to Default Layout) 49 => 3 (maps Key '1' to Top) 50 => 1 (maps Key '2' to Page Up) 51 => 4 (maps Key '3' to Bottom) 52 => 5 (maps Key '4' to Horizontal Page Up) 53 => 12 (maps Key '5' to Full Screen Toggle) 54 => 6 (maps Key '6' to Horizontal Page Down) 55 => 7 (maps Key '7' to Horizontal Top) 56 => 2 (maps Key '8' to Page Down) 57 => 8 (maps Key '9' to Horizontal Bottom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alfer Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 This is fantastic. Now if only PIE would let you rotate the screen to landscape in smartphone. Or at least Opera for that matter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jenya Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) This is great... I wonder if you can use the same syntax for pocket outlook. I guess I will give it a try and let everyone know... I hate how unfriendly Pocket Outlook is on the SP... Question: How did you find out the key values? ie: 3=top of page 4=bottom of page?

Guest flywest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 What about functions for STOP, FAVORITES, or REFRESH? The reason I ask is because when I am in Full Screen mode if I want to get to my Favorites I have to press the Left soft key twice. Slightly annoying but it would be great to have that set to a speed dial??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lezouave Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 This is only tangentially related, but seems like it might be the right thread to ask this in. Is it possible to create a control key on my htc excalibur? I installed Opera for wm 5 (non-smartphone) and it works well, except I can't access an functions that require the control key, such as go to address bar. Any ideas? Am I missing something? Thanks, steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Menneisyys Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 See http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=256872 for Windows Mobile Smartphone Web Browsing Bible; there, I’ve published a direct Registry import file so that you don't need to manually edit the Registry. And, it has a lot of other goodies too: a MUST read, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest patek Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 What about the BACK function ? The reason I ask is because when I am in Full Screen mode if I want to go back with a keypress.
