View Full Version : Key Remapping without AEBPlus

I had a fairly simple desire to map in a hotkey to enable and disable wifi with a single press-- I'm using the current 3VO 6.5 ROM. I'd located the Wireless Toggle utility, but now I need to attach it to a key. I didn't want to use the T-zones key by redirecting the Short_IE.lnk, because I find Celetask very useful there. I assume I could redirect the camera with Short_Camera, but I kind of like having this there too. The AEBPlus utility seems like overkill-- I only want to redirect one key, and I'm a little intimidated by the "oops I can't use my dash anymore" potential from mismapping some keys.

The solution I wanted to come up with is mapping an Alt value to the T-Zones or Mail key, or possibly redirecting the Mail key. However when I look at the et9 keyboard mapping file, I see that these keys aren't even in it from what I can see. I guess they are different from the other keys, and so I'm not sure I have the capacity to add an Alt value. So these are my questions:

- Is there some integrated way to assign Alt values to the Tzones and Mail keys without AEBPlus or another utility?

- Is tmail.lnk the shortcut that controls the Mail key? Are there other shortcuts that also are involved?

Sorry if this has been answered before. I tried to search on this, but maybe I just wasn't coming up with the right search string.

Thanks,

Gnat

Well, I take little pride in having stumped the forum-- at least I didn't get a "learn to search" response.

In the end I have solved the problem by using Chome Configuration to remap the second softkey for the Wireless Manager option under Settings from "All Settings" to "Wireless Toggle". This spares me from having to open HTC Communication Manager and scrolling around to enable wifi-- a pretty significant improvement for me.

Thanks,

Gnat

Don't know if you are still reading this, but if you know of a tutorial or guide to AEB, please share it.

I'm trying out the app right now, but find it extremely difficult to figure out, how to use it. And the author included no guide nor help file with the app. And his web page doesn't tell you how to use it.

One other concern--it seems to slow down the device a whole lot!
