How so? Most times, when people want to change them, it's to re-assign them to a physical button or to remap a physical button.
I'm just curious...

Is it possible to remap the physical keyboard on the Droid(milestone) 2?
For example remapping the arrow keys so that when i press the 'up' key on the physical keyboard an 'å' will appear in the highlighted widget.
Thanks.
I'd like to know that to!
I don't think it helps the physical keyboard but the soft keyboard can be re-mapped by a number of apps in the market. But if I find anything about physical keyboard remapping I'd like to change my qwerty to dvorak to try it out lol.
I am not sure how you get a different symbol, but this may help as you can change the order of the keys.

I copied my key_code_map.txt to my sdcard and I'm going to see if I can change the values to change the physical key map.
Were you able to remap the keys you wanted?
I ask because I got a droid 2 yesterday and the del key did not work and a remap would be easier than trying to get the online reseller to replace it.

I didn't get it figured out it seems there are a few different places where the keyboard looks for mapping but I think I need a different file like an xml or something. each file I tried didn't change.
I to would like to know. Dvorak would be interesting

They have dvorak and other styles for the on screen keyboard but not for the physical one.

Im pretty sure the keyboard mapping is part of the kernel which we have no way of changing. Just saying.
Curious as to whether anyone has attempted to remap one of the 4 buttons on the Shift as an alternate to the power button on the top of the phone.
Personally I can live w/o the "search" button, and if it's remapped to act as a second power on/on toggle, that'd.....be.....awesome.
I think the power button has to be a physical non-capacitive button. The 4 bottom buttons are just part of the screen and so will not respond to a touch if the screen is off.

Good point, I didn't even think of that. You're right.
Thanks!
Now if someone could get it to turn on after you did a double tap on the volume up button or something. That would be bad-ass.

This is a GREAT idea.
I'd like it if while in the camera app the volume keys worked as camera buttons.

Yes it is
Go do a search on the forum for buttonremapper (or the market if you'd like to help and donate)
requires root
I am using my volume rockers as camera
This is the button remapper app thats been mentioned in other threads
I haven't tried it out yet though.

I know what you mean, like some sort of 'profile' based key mappings.

Downloaded and re-mapped the Volume Down button to work as an alternate Power button (since i just use toggle widgets and settings for volume anyway), and remapped Power button to open Camera. Great app!
Does anybody know about an APK or MOD to wake up the xoom using the volume key?
Thanks

The volume key doesn't seem that robust with respect to living through many button presses.

Nobody forces you to use it if you consider it so...
After a MOD I wake up my HTC Desire using the track pad. It was not intended for that either but it worked out for me.
Hello everyone.
Last time my touchscreen stopped working. I figured out that every time i use 'end call key' my touch screen is not responding.
Question : Is it possible to switch key fundions? I mean... for example i want to make 'home' key my 'end call key' and vice versa. And if it is possible then how i can do it?
Check out Button Savior. I don't know about remapping hardware keys but this can give you software controls to get around it. There are also a tonne of screen lock widgets that could work, and some ROMs even have it built into quick settings on the notification drawer or the softkeys on ICS+ ROMs.

There used to be an app called button remapper on the play store but I can't find it now!!
Well anyway you can change the button mappings by editing the kepad layout file in /system/usr/keylayout/ folder.
Their will be a few their so you will have to figure out which one to edit for your rom.
Mine is htcleo_keypad.kl.
You will need a root explorer to do this, just open with a text editor!
Make sure to write down the mappings before starting then you can swap them about.
I am not sure but I think the power button isn't changeble but you can assign power to another key.
Ah, I was wondering if I had just gone crazy because I thought I remembered an app by that name but I couldn't find it.

Ironically I didn't actually bother searching on XDA So much for telling people to search
I have rooted my Note 3 and remapped the navigation buttons to match the galaxy nexus I came from. Now that I don't have the menu button is there a way (maybe in the build.prop) to enable the onscreen menu button? If not is there a way to enable all onscreen navigation buttons for the note 3? I tried the "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" approach but it caused system ui to crash. Thanks.
Looking for this as well. Got the same UI crash when adding that kind.
Why would you want to when we have hardware buttons?

I remapped my hardware buttons to match my galaxy nexus onscreen buttons (from left to right: Back, Home, Recent Apps). As you can see I don't have a menu button mapped. A lot of apps have the menu button in the UI but it doesn't show up if your device thinks it has a hardware menu button. So what I am looking for is a way to tell android that I do not have a hardware menu button. Thanks.
could you keep us updated if you find anything? could you make a quick tutorial how you were able to remap the buttons, or does it work exactly like on the s3:

Unfortunately not. I just turned the touch key lights off in display settings.
Has anyone figured this out yet?
