1. Introducing KeyPad

Traditionally the term “Keypad” refers to the physical set of keys or buttons used for

information input. This term, however has been extended to cover an application that is

used on the Optimus PDA using the touch screen.

1.1 Each name of part and general operation of KeyPad.

Direction When you use direction cursor

Send/End When you use calling or receiving telephone in PhoneUI program or using

special key for application program

Shift Modify KeyMap Mode..

Fn Making to operate specific action regarding each function.

BackSp Input Back Space.

Enter Input the key that has the changing line.

Number When you input key value directly, you use it. Initial keys are number.

The detailed operation of KeyPad is as following

Normal with Fn Key

Dir. - Up VK_UP VK_PAGEUP

Dir. - Down VK_DOWN VK_PAGEDOWN

Dir. - Left VK_LEFT VK_HOME

Dir. - Right VK_RIGHT VK_END

Send VK_F21 Windows Key ( Show Window Menu)

End VK_F22 VK_ESCAPE

BackSp VK_BACK (or depending on keyMap) VK_SPACE

Enter VK_RETURN (or depending on KeyMap) VK_TAB

Fn Switch Function Mode Show Current Input method that is

using

Shift Change KeyMap. Execute Task Manager.

Number / * / # Keyboard Input – depending on KeyMap. Execute HotKey function. HotKey

(Explained in HotKey)

1.2 Display Keypad operating status

The KeyPad icon is shown in the taskbar as shown below. Clicking or tapping on this icon

activates the application for use. Pressing down on the icon for longer brings up the

Select Menu allowing for the input method to be changed.

• : Character input status

• : Status on waiting next input key after Fn Key is already pushed

You can change the status of input method among by pressing

the Shift key. The input values for each input method is shown in the table below.

Some keys on the keypad contain multiple values. Alternative values can be selected by

multiple presses of the required button – very much like on a mobile phone. For example, if you

push the “2” key repeatedly in succession, A is first shown followed by B then C then A again.

2. HotKey

Using the KeyPad program, actions can be set against particular Hotkeys.

Hotkeys are selected by simultaneously pressing the Fn + Number key. Hotkeys can be

configured by selecting “KeyPad” in the control panel.

These are example options for HotKey function.

• Send : Auto run PhoneUI

• F1~F0 / F* / F#: number(1~0) + */#

• FS : Fn+S(send)

• FE : Fn+E(end)

• Fsh : Fn+Shift

• Fen : Fn+Enter

• Fbk : Fn+BackSpace

2.1 HotKey Function

Each Fn key combination can operate one of 3 actions below.

• CharacterCharacterCharacterCharacter string string string string Input Input Input Input: Input saved character string without prefix when Fn key

operates.

• Execute ProgramExecute ProgramExecute ProgramExecute Program: Execute designated program when Fn key operates. In this case,

program path starts with ''''\\\\''''. If saved character string begins with ''''\\\\'''', application

program operates. If saved character string does not begin with ''''\\\\'''', Fn key input

only character string.

• Special key InputSpecial key InputSpecial key InputSpecial key Input: Emulate special keys such as ESC/ALT/Ctrl+C that are difficult

to operate with characters. Special key Input begins with '_'.

In control panel, these functions are indicated by icons as below.

• : Character string Input

• : Execute application program

• : Special key Input

• : Not assigned

• : Disabled – You can choose Enable/Disable the assigned Fn key operation.

When you choose Disable, this icon appears regardless of its function.

If there are icons of execute application program or Special key input without ''''\\\\'''' or '_''_''_''_' in

control panel, these are processed with comment.

If character strings begin with parenthesis ( '(''(''(''(' ), it erases character strings before

parenthesis and only shows inside the parenthesis shown as below.

• _A409(Show TaskManager) ⇒ (Show TaskManager)

• \Windows\PWord.exe(MS Pocket Word) ⇒ (MS Pocket Word)

• _5B(Windows Menu Key) ⇒ (Windows Menu Key)

2.2 Editing

To change a particular Hotkey setting, first click within the region of the Hotkey option to

be modified. If a menu appears, select “Edit String.” Now modify the text. Alternatively

clicking “Program Select” instead of “Edit String”, a particular function key can be

assigned to run a program instead of insert text.

If inputting the selection manually, the chosen path for applications should always start

with ‘\’. Omitting the “\” result in the Hotkey function operating in character string input

mode.

If you click an item, select menu appears. Each menu is explained below.

• Edit String: Edit Fn key function as input character string directly.

• Input Single Key: A window pops up for _XX/_XXXX (XX indicates KeyCode

showed in Hexcode) format special key input. You can input special key directly in

Combo box. Otherwise you can choose DropDown List of KeyCode.

• Program Select: File Dialog box appears to choose exe (execute file), bat(script),

lnk (Link file), etc.

• Clear: Empty the item.

• Enable: Enable or Disable the item.

2.3 Assign Special Key

To assign special key, start with ‘_’ and input charater string with Hexcode. These

Hexcodes are keycodes. Refer to Code table in the last page.

If you want to assign ESC key, you just input ESC keycode (0x1A).

_1A

In case of combining special key such as Shift/Ctlr/ALT and another key, input keycode in

order.

For example of Ctrl-C which is shortcut for copy, Ctrl keycode is 0x11and C keycode

is0x43. Input like this.

_1143

However, direct keycode input recorded in control panel, it is hard to find the exact key or

operation. You can use comment with parentheses to check the assign of Fn key easily

because only comment in parentheses shows in control panel like below.

_1143(Ctrl-C/Copy)

3. Other functions

3.1 AutoRepeat Function

If you push a key long, the key is inputted again automatically.

• LongPush Delay: Time takes till automatic repeat starts. (Time takes till recognize

LongPush)

• Repeat Interval: Interval time between key input.

3.2 Fn+Fn Key Blocking Function

In case of combining Fn+Fn keys, block SIP window popup.

3.3 Version Display

Display versions of KeyPad program and control panel program.

4. KeyMap Function

You can change the setting of key functions freely using KeyMap Function. You can add

or delete keymap. You can select keymaps in control panel.

4.1 Install KeyMap

To install KeyMap, copy and paste KMPKMPKMPKMP file to \Storage (or IPSM)\system\Keypad. You

can choose KeyMap setting in control panel after install KMP file and Soft Reset

The first setting of KeyMap is Numeric. You can change the initial setting by adding

Default.kmp file.

4.2 Writing KeyMap

IIII Icon Index

K[Num]K[Num]K[Num]K[Num] Key Input

EEEE Start key of KeyMap Mode

RRRR End key of KeyMap Mode

TTTT Translate

Icon Index

Designate an icon among these (from 0 to 10 in order) to

display present keymap on the tray.

Key Input

Define the key column that will be input when you press the keypad.

You can define K0~K13.

K0~K9: Keypad: Number 1~9

K10, K11: Keypad: * and #

K12, K13: Keypad: Backspace and Enter

In case that each key does not have definition, output will be default functions such as

Arabic numbers, *, #, backspace, enter.

Input keyscan value (Hex code, Not ASCII)) for key column. In most of the cases, it is

hard to know keyscan value for certain key. You can input _(ASCII)_(ASCII)_(ASCII)_(ASCII) format. If you input 1

after ‘_’, keyscan value of keypad 1 is inputted. If you input _A, keyscan value of A is

inputted. However, it is hard to input keyscan value of special key. Thus you can input

“^defined character” such as “^S” is used for “VK_SHIFT.”

Here is the table of special characters that you can input.

• ^S : VK_SHIFT;

• ^C : VK_CONTROL;

• ^T : VK_TAB;

• ^R : VK_RETURN;

• ^B : VK_BACK;

• ^D : VK_DELETE;

• ^I : VK_INSERT;

• ^H : VK_HANGEUL

When you write a keymap, you should be cautious that input is not the actual character

code but key value that means keypad input. If you input _A or h41 (A in ASCII code) in

the keymap, the output can’t be “A”. The input will be “a” in most cases because you

only press the A in keypad. If you want to input “A” when you press 1 in keypad, you

should write the keymap as follows.

K0K0K0K0[tab][tab][tab][tab]^S_A^S_A^S_A^S_A

Press Shift key first and press “A” key.

One keypad can have 10 key values. In this case, keymap will be as follows.

K0K0K0K0[tab][tab][tab][tab]1stKeySeq1stKeySeq1stKeySeq1stKeySeq[tab][tab][tab][tab]2ndKeySeq2ndKeySeq2ndKeySeq2ndKeySeq[tab][tab][tab][tab] ... ... ... ... [tab][tab][tab][tab]10thKeySeq10thKeySeq10thKeySeq10thKeySeq

If q and z are with 1 in keypad, input comes out in order. In this case, keymap will be as

follows.

K0K0K0K0[tab][tab][tab][tab]_Q_Q_Q_Q[tab][tab][tab][tab]_Z_Z_Z_Z

Enter key/ Close key of Keymap mode

If a certain keymap uses specific language, you should input a certain key with Shift key

to use the keymap.

• EEEE[tab][tab][tab][tab]^H^H^H^H

• RRRR[tab][tab][tab][tab]^H^H^H^H

Here is English keymap that summarize the explanation above.

Translate

Translate function is change the output of certain characters into another one when the

character is being input after a certain character.

In case of French, when input ‘~’ first and input ‘a’, the two characters change into ã by

using Translate function.

Write as below to use Translate function.

TTTT[tab][tab][tab][tab](PrevKeyCode)(Input(PrevKeyCode)(Input(PrevKeyCode)(Input(PrevKeyCode)(InputKeyIndex)KeyIndex)KeyIndex)KeyIndex)[tab][tab][tab][tab]KeySeqKeySeqKeySeqKeySeq

Input key code value directly for previous key code, and input keyindex(K0 ~ K13) for

following key code.

Forced assignment of IMM Status

Keypad has a key that can change the status of IMM when keymap changes. The status of

IMM may change forcibly by external program. In this case, you can change the status of

IMM as you want forcibly by L.

L 0 : Do not change the status of IMM by force.

L 1 : Change the status of IMM in English.

L 2 : Change the status of IMM in native language.
