I find the ''internet explorer key' quite useless for me. On the other hand I need to be able to send 'ok' command to my touch dual through the sliding keyboard so what about remapping the 'internet explorer key'? Does anyone know how to do that?

coool idea. very convenient and practical. comparing a samsung sgh-i780 to the touch dual, the fact that the i780 had an OK button was one of the very few advantages that the samsung had over my htc. hope someone can reply to this with a solution......

I would like to make the internet button a return key which enters moves the cursor to a new line when typing messages etc, I can't find an easy way of entering a line return when writing using the 16 key keypad.

have you tried AE-Buttons?

AE Button Plus works not as good as I hoped: it's starting another application when I remap it but the Internet Explorer is still started afterwards!

I think the solution could be found in the keyboard driver itself ...!

yap i hope someone could make this, i don't use the internet explorer button changing/remapping it to ok/close button is a very good idea. as for now i change the camera button to ok/close but quite hard to push because in the side corner.

Is there still no solution for this?

i never use the "internet" and "messaging" keys from my keyboard and it would be nice to change them to "OK" and an other program..

I found following Registry:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/internet explorer/KeyMaps
Does anybody know if this has anything to do with what we're looking for???

I think I was able to find a workaround for this:

1) make a copy of iexplore.exe in the windows folder to iexplore2.exe (can anyone upload a copy of original iexplore.exe, i can't seem to make a copy of it)
2) Download http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJOkButt
3) from program files of vjokbutt, find the exe and rename it to iexplore.exe
4) copy the vjokbutt that was renamed to iexplore.exe to \windows and overwrite the original iexplore

optional: open a registry editor and replace all iexplore.exe to iexplore2.exe, otherwise, internet explorer might not work..

It would be better if anyone can transform the Messaging and Internet Explorer key into Hardware Softkeys ...! It would be much better because of increasing usability in some fullscreen programs!

I really miss these Hardware Softkeys in Esmertec Jbed! :(
