Ctrl Key - Does it exist or how?

[gavinfabl]

Has anybody worked out if the keyboard has a Ctrl key or a function that works like Ctrl , handy when quitting apps eg Ctrl Q.

Or editing.

I couldnt find it when I used the device.

Cheers

That's very strange because I have it on my MDA II's touchscreen keyboard. Are you talking about the touchscreen keyboard that you have to pop up by pressing the up arrow in the lower right-hand corner in the Messages app for instance?

I wonder whether this feature would also be ROM-dependent.

i meant the hard keyboard not sip. its on sip but when i used the universal i couldnt see it.

Yes I am interested in the Ctrl button on the universal as well, I owned a XDAIIs and found the keyboard on that didn't have the Ctrl key either so you can't do CUT/COPY or paste unless there is another way. I cut and paste heaps so the keyboard was useless to me on the XDAIIs.

Any one know if there is another way to do this on the Universal Keyboard.

The keyboard has Cut/copy/paste function, so I am happy.

Jasjar is the most awesome PPC Phone yet. :D :D

there is a screen tap key (a bit like the right mouse click key on a full computer) this brings up the menu option, with copy and cut in it !! then you can just pres the relevant letter on the keyboard, thus having the same effect (ie press a function key then C or T or V).


PS its Fn [Space] key

cool... i wondered what that key did! that is useful!

[ctrl] is used for more things than copy+paste.

I use my Exec to communicate with *NIX servers using Pocket PuTTY. [ctrl] is kind of essential.

Agree, using putty is a nightmare without a ctrl key. Is there any way of mapping another key to do the same function
