Default Hacking keyboard driver on HTC Universal

I want to use my Universal for remote management of UNIX systems while I'm walking around the data centre. Unfortunately the lack of a ctrl key makes this impossible (without bringing up the virtual keyboard).

I very rarely use the caps-lock key or the "mail" key so these would be ideal candidates for a remap. Has anyone got any information about how I would go about hacking the key maps or keyboard driver to remap the functions of these keys?

Try the program AEKMap from http://ae.inc.ru
I never used it under WM5.

Works very well but doesn't seem to be able to send the control key 0011

Shame, because this would have been ideal.

you can try to contact its author. Maybe he would fix the program.

Yes, AEKMap now hooks and generates Ctrl'ed key combinations. And other useful features appears since AEKMap release. See them on http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php

Hello,

It has been quite a while, but how did you manage with AEKMap to remap the "mail"-key to the ctrl-key? I tried to generate an .AEK file, but seemingly I have no idee what to exactly write in there and I only get an error message.

tnx, fortaq
