The shortcuts are Search+S, Search+G, are you sure you are not touching the Search touch button while texting? You can as well disable these shortcuts here: Settings-Applications-Quick launch

How do i get my HTC cha cha to stop doing shortcuts when i'm writing messages? It's really irritating especially as i can't use the letters S and G without it doing a shortcut??

Just tried this. Menu + X/C/P WORKS on my HTC ChaCha (v 2.3.5, with ROM 1.54.401.2).
Thanks, TheUnnamedOne!

Decided to check if it will work without my "Russian Keyboard" app turned off. It doesn't. So basically you can just download it and use it in English mode and you'll have the same keyboard your device is having. Uploaded it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/261283...

To Enable, use the Settings - Language and Keyboard - [Place a check-box]. Then goto any text field, long-tap it, choose Input method - Russian Keyboard.

Hope that helps anyone.

Useless (almost, you can delete the selected text with Del key). Unless there's another way..

So is selecting with the keyboard completely useless, or can you still do cut/copy/paste using the touchscreen once you have selected using the keyboard?

Good idea, but it doesn't work. Tried in Messages and an app (AK Notepad)

Neat... fairly simple and useful solution.

I read on several places that "the Android way" of cut/copy and paste is using the Menu key: Menu+X/C/P for cut/copy/paste ... has anyone tried that?

Re: Cool terminal – Tilda

Mihai Maruseac — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 14:10:50 -0000

Actually, I prefer to use Guake[1], it is a lot faster than tilda or yakuake and it has some features lacking in other terminal emulators. Now, if only I could make it behave like terminator on some key presses and if I can add some other cool features... But I'm getting offtopic, I wanted only to suggest trying guake too.

That happened to me too. :( I remember it was working (just as it says in the manual - hold the Tab key pressed), but now it keeps acting as "*" key.
You can access Applications - Voice Dialer.

I have the same question as Mihnea..

Re: HTC ChaCha Secret Keyboard Shortcuts

Mihnea Simian — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 03:27:51 -0000

Hello chachalover! When I were 12 I barely knew how to turn on a PC :)
It's correct what you said, that's the way I copy paste too, but I was wondering if there is a faster way of copy-pasting only using the physical keyboard. (since you can select the text only by using the qwerty keyboard).
Thanks for stopping by!

Re: HTC ChaCha Secret Keyboard Shortcuts

chachalover — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 01:04:25 -0000

I know how to do the copy paste. You click the text for a few seconds and drag the cursor till it highlights all the text you want to copy and there should be a little box above the text saying copy or cut. Then go to where you want to paste it and tap the place for a few seconds. Then the box should come up saying paste. Sorry if that didn't make sense. I'm just a 12 year old :P

Re: Controlling two Futaba servo motors with Atmel ATmega16

Mihnea Simian — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 03:37:53 -0000

Can you do this with ATmega? It only has two timers.. maybe you could somehow share one timer for two motors, but you need some special wiring setup to simulate multiplexing. Have you thought about the wiring of the three motors?

As I said, "Test script is not included as I do not have the rights to make it public."
But I'll try to write one if you really need one and give you a reply. This is basically just a library of concept models. You need to use the factories - getNewProcessor, getNewConnection - give them ids and link them in the above architecture, and then call the run methods (both processors and connections are actually thread instances) and pass them "task tokens" from main thread.
