View Full Version : Where is the End key in Windows Mobile?

I am so enraged at the number of bugs and un-features in Win Mobile
that I'm numbering 'em.

Complaint no. 3:

Where is the End key on the keyboard?

For example, how do you add words onto the end of a sentence residing
in a cell in Mobile Excel?

When you tap on a cell thereby bringing up its contents at top, the
cursor is at the BEGINNING of the cell's string.

How do you get to the end of the string?

(It took me several months to realize that I can sequentially tap Ctrl
then Right to jump forward word-by-word. But that's still tedious.

And as usual, Microflot makes it worse by, once you reach the end of
the visible portion of the string, not scrolling the off-the-screen
portion to which you are next scrolling into view until AFTER you've
scrolled. Preventing you from seeing what the hell you're scrolling
to.)

Anyone?

Thanks.

No good answer to this one (you seem to be finding all the faults at once)

one option is to triple tap the field, then tap the right arrow... (be
careful, and remember that <ctrl-z> works for most accidental deletions ;-)

See - I knew I was smart all those years ago when I first started using the
FITALY SIP. Not only does it provide the fractions asked about before, but
also the double-right arrow and double-left arrow key function as END and
HOME keys. Add CTRL to those and you go to the end and beginning of a
document as well. (I'm still astounded that the slide-out keyboard on my
Wing doesn't even have a control key).

Note that using a capable key remapper utility, you can safely add End /
Home functinality to *any* keyboard key. See my Button Enhancer Bible at
