Make the most of your N78 Keypad with MagicKeys by Leftup!

|

Your N78 does not have a shift/pencil button. Instead the shift/pencil button
functionality is bundled with the "#" key. So bad you miss out on so many useful
features, because the "#" key is used for number entry on the standby screen
(and has text entry role in many symbian s60 applications). Hence it is unusable
as a shift key in that context.

With MagicKeys you can map your Multimedia button to Shift/Pencil!

Many launcher applications have shortcut keys assigned based on the shift
key. These don't work on your N78, leaving you frustrated!
For example, the wonderful Best Taskman application allows you shortcut keys
based on the shift+{key} combination. Though a different topic altogether, I
would like to highlight that Best Taskman has shortcut keys for Windows Alt-Tablike interface, Quick Shortcut hotkey and a different hotkey for launching the Taskman (I hate the long-press-Menu-button method!).

Whats more, you can also map the Camera key as a different key. I have mapped
my Camera key as a multimedia key in all applications except the Camera itself
(Did I forget to mention that you can map different keys for different
applications also!). The other map that I have done is to use the Volume keys as
Page Up and Page Down keys in Opera Mini.

Make the most of your N78 Keypad with MagicKeys by Leftup!

To select key
- press the green key (call key) -> 999 will show up
- press your desired key, and its number will show up

Alternate method
- in any field, press the OK key (D-pad center key), a searchable key
list will come up!

Tip
- Magic Keys will only work when you exit the application!

Java Apps
Javas are not native exes, so not in the apps list
(certainly apply to "all apps" will also work)
you can try the exe which load java apps
It's midp2.exe - maybe not in list either,
But MagicKey judge focus app by its SID.
So you can add any app, then edit, change the Sid to 0x102033e6.
That will apply selected keymap to all Javas

Any other app
Any other app, just open the app, go to Activefile and find the SID of the
process.
