This might sound strange, but I'd need a program for WM5 Smartphones that can be called by a symbolic link (*.lnk) that I'd assign to a HW key and that does not do anything, just immediately returns without even switching the display. Does anyone have a crazy thing like that?
Thanxx, Mixx
PS: I am not totally crazy. I just have an HTC Excalibur (but the O2 XDA Cosmo version) that has a HW key for the Internet Explorer. I need to hijack that key, because I need to have a way to enter accented characters and I refuse to pick them from a huge table with the cursor. I managed to use AEKeymap, but if I use the current IE-key to switch to accented, it will first call the IE and only when I return (by e.g. ESCAPE) does it put down the right symbol. I figure, if I remap that key to this "does-nothing-app" (and I know how to use SHORT_IE.lnk), I'll be OK.
Currently I hijack the Messaging key for this purpose. That has the same problem, but if I am in an Email or SMS, it is no harm that it jumps to Messages (ends up where it started from, since I am in that app already). Thus I can have accented character in Emails, but not in any other application.
Nobody could help so far, but I am just too stubborn. This must be a solvable problem.
