Remapping Keys on the Excalibur

[john1027]

Has anyone see anything on how to remap keys on the Excalibur (assuming it can be done) similar to the relatively easy remaps that could be done on the SP5M and the 8500/smartflip/3125? I looked thru the windows directory and could not see anything to modify that might relate to remapping the explorer key and/or the email key. I would like to remap one of them to the internal voice dialer. I have it set to #9 as a speed dial but would like to remap if possible.

I've found this: (sorry, I have to repeat this sequence)
"Your device Locale - how to change the letters entered when pressing keys on the hardware keyboard.
Change slide-out keyboard layout


If you have a Device from one country, but would like to use the keyboard layout of another, you can change the keyboard's language setting to do so...

For US layout (QWERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 0409 (REG_SZ string)
For German layout (QWERTZ):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 0407 (REG_SZ string)
For French layout (AZERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 040C (REG_SZ string)
For Spanish layout (AZERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 0C0A (REG_SZ string)


For other codes, see: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/r...p/xp-lcid.mspx
Note that the values are STRING values, not DWORDs!
"

Alas, it seems to me somewhat doubtable that it be in the HKCU section, having assumed it to be a machine-wide setting. It does not work in either place. Can anybody confirm or correct this setting for smartphones?
Thanks Michael

I thought you wanted to just remap the mail and web keys? The link I posted above explains how to easily accomplish that.

Does anyone know which shortcut file controls the lower right hand mail key on the dash?

Thanks
