Using the volume keys like a scroll wheel

[jeremymacmull]

Morning all,

I remember reading on the wizard forums somewhere that someone changed the volume keys so that they could be used as a scroll up and scroll down function similiar to the scroll wheel on the hermes for use in PIE etc.

Is this possible on the Touch Dual. if so what would the program be and how much would it cost ?

Hi,

AE Button Plus (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php) should be able to do this. There's a time-unlimited trial which should do the job.
Another one may be Spb PocketPlus, which offers less possibilities for button mapping, but maybe (actually I can't remember fur sure) offers exactly out-of-the-box the mapping you are searching for (volume2scroll), whereas in AEB+ you have to make the mappings explicit (VolUp->PgUp etc).

Cheers,
jekk.

I've mapped button 2 and 3 and button 2 hold and button 3 hold to scroll up and scroll down.

The hold buttons work OK but they aren't usable as a scroller as it takes too long to activate but If I map the normal buttons to scroll up and down they still only change volume. If I map them to launch contacts they launch this fine some of the time but not always and other times they just change the volume. So no can do. This by the way is using pocket plus' built in button mapping program.
