Please Login to Remove!
Hi,

How to create a shortcut key (other than the 2 side convnient keys). Eg. I would like to asign alphabet "R" to do the keyboard lock key.

Call Log > Options > General Options > Dial From Home Screen = Off

Then the K key will lock your device.

You can also try ALT+ENTER be default.

Wow, thanks so much for the prompt replies guys. Really appreciate.

To jsconyers, does that mean there's no way to asign other key than "k"
to do the key lock.

Can you also explain some on key stores? Thanks in advance.

That may be of some help : Tips and Tricks - BlackBerryFAQ

And this may be of even more help : Home Screen Shortcuts - BlackBerryFAQ

Wirelessly posted (Boostberry 7100i)

Try holding in the asterisk key. This works for the 7100i.

That's only for SureType devices, IIRC. Holding A/* on full qwerty BB's will assign a speed dial to the key.

Default Interesting...8900 .168 Tmobile here
Holding down A or * does lock the keys.
Alt - Enter does lock the keys
or just push the soft button at the top...LOVE IT.

Holding down the Q switches between vibrate and normal profile

No, i do not. I dial from the home screen. Pushing all other keys ask to assign speed dial. I will try and remember to check on my wife's 8320. I have 8900

If you turn off dialing from Home Screen you can still use the speed dial. Just hold the key down instead of just pressing it. Gives the keys double functions.

INteresting I'm wondering if its a new feature on the 8900. I have a 8320 also and when I press Q it asks to assign a speed dial.
