Default Is Copy / Paste available with hardware keyboard buttons ?

Someone tried to use some of the special hardware keyboardbuttons in the lower left corner of the keyboard to copy / paste ?
Can one of the keys used as a STRG key in combination with C and V when entering text ?

Greets !

you can set the key to open a context menu, then choose cut/copy/paste

That is the point, how do we get a "ctrl"-key assigned? The "strg"-key fotoingo mentioned is the German "ctrl"-key. Any suggestions?

Yes, CTRL+C/V/X works with hardware keyboard. All you need is a software to map some of the key on your HW keyboard to CTRL function. I would recommend X1BC (use search on this forum)
Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray (aka X-RAY)

Nokia 6610 -> Sony Ericsson p910i -> MDA Compact III (HERO) -> BLACK Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 (KOVSKY) -> SILVER Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 (KOVSKY) -> HTC Desize Z (VISION) -> Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray (URUSHI)

with AE Button plus you can set it up. eg you can map that weird au button so that single click = cut, double click = copy, and triple click = paste. Lots of other ways you can do it too, using other keys on the hard keyboard.
