Emulating navigation keys

Emulating navigation keys

The cepc keyboard and simulator keyboard are upgraded to support debugging and testing of mobile devices using the extended keyboard. Two different types of navigation keys need to be mapped to the development workstation by copying the keys of a mobile device. One type uses the upper/lower joystick to copy the navigation keys of a mobile device; another type is used to copy the direction keys of the extended keyboard.

 

The Pageup and Pagedown keys can be used to replace the arrow keys of some keyboards. The following table shows the ing between the buttons of the Development workstation and those of the mobile device.

 

Keyboard key	Previous Behavior	Today's behavior
Number key	Copying mobile device numeric keys	Same
Direction key	Copy the navigation key of a mobile device (left, right, top, bottom)	Copy the arrow keys on the extended keyboard
Pageup and Pagedown	Do not copy any mobile device buttons	Copying the mobile device navigation Board (upper/lower joystick)

 

Remarks

Pageup and Pagedown are the Pageup and Pagedown keys on the keyboard of the Development workstation, rather than the Pageup and Pagedown keys on the keypad. The extended keyboard of a mobile device does not have the F20 and F21 keys. Because the Pageup and Pagedown keys are not available on the Pocket PC and smartphone devices, vk_prior and vk_next messages are not required.
