Email & Internet easy buttons don't appear after installing bbLean

HI, I know that Sidewalker can define the first two keys - but for some reason, can we re-define the other two "fixed" keys? My user defined keys work that I set up.

For some reason, I don't know what happened - but I was installing and setting up a bbLean shell and my email and internet buttons - they don't respond. Not sure what more to add for now... hopefully someone has run into this in the past - ok thank you

 

Ah, I figured it out

I found a plugin called BBkeyHook v0.5b by Kaloth http://www.geocities.com/madant8

From the readme :

// ----- What is it? ----- \\

I made this plugin to fix my multi-media keyboard under BB4win.
Basically it's a low level keyhook that can map any VK (Virtual Key)
code to a command line action or to the default mixer 'mute', 'volume up'
and 'volume down' actions.


// ----- How do I train it to my keyboard? ----- \\

All keyboard keys are represented by a VK code. Some manufacturers use different VK codes for special keys, like 'mute' than others. In order to cater for this BBKeyhook as a config mode that you can put it in to by changing the rc setting to 'True'. Once in this state it reports the VK code and Hardware Scan Code of any key you press by displaying it in the BB4win toolbar (make sure the toolbar is visible).

It worked perfectly - I was able to redirect my firefox and outlook express clients.

Anyways those keys - should be the same for the compal hel80 series :
firefox didn't seem to need a link to work.


BBkeyhook.plugin.key0:172
BBkeyhook.plugin.scanCode0: 50
BBkeyhook.plugin.command0: firefox


BBkeyhook.plugin.key1:180
BBkeyhook.plugin.scanCode1: 108
BBkeyhook.plugin.command1: msimn
BBkeyhook.plugin.argument1: "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\"


Hope this helps anyone using a bblean/xoblite/bb4win shell
