Add a keyboard status indicator on your HTC Wizard

One of the best features of the HTC Wizard is its extractable keyboard. However, using the Shift and Symbol key can be quite confusing because it is not always obvious what the status of these buttons is. Here is the solution:




  • Use Total Commander to navigate to \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keyb
  • Create a new entry with the name EnableIndicator
  • Assign the new entry a DWORD value of 1
  • perform a soft reset

From now on when you extract the keyboard, a keyboard status indicator will be visible. A C indicates that the Shift key is active, a dot indicates that the Symbol key is active.

I have installed Registry Wizard and there is a tweak setting there which says "Enable Indiacator". Wonder if it does the same you susggest for the cap and shift keys. Ayone have any clue?

I don't know how many times I have to thank you... great. That was quick and it worked. I am always nervous about tweaking registry. How do u back-up a registry btw? And then install it if wanted again? Thanks in advance.

I recommend asking that as a forum post because I really don't know the answer to that one. I should find some good backup software with all the changes I'm making to this phone though...

I can not get it to save in my registry with total commander.
How do I create a new entry?
