Hello all,
I have been using my acer a500 with its bluetooth keyboard for work forever - I work in a car and built a nice dock for it etc. I have recently moved to the N7 and I have the same keyboard. It has all the quicklaunch keys at the top (search, volume, browser, email, camera, files, music...... etc)
I would love to be able to use these for what they are labeled (or better yet assign things to what I want them). Is there an app out there or something I can edit? I have searched high and low and cannot find anything.... I need to go take those Google powersearching classes.....
TLR Looking for an app or where to edit to use bluetooth keyboard quicklaunch buttons.
Thank you so much for any help!

hi,
i have searched xda and google to no avail, is there a way of moving through text ( in a SMS) one character at a time as you would if you had navigation/direction buttons?
thanks
If you buy Smart Keyboard Pro, it allows you to enable direction keys to do just that.

The latest HTC keyboard allows you to enable the volume controls as a cursor. It is also free!
jep, just use the htc keyboard.
there you have directional pad's to move the curserkey's
thanks,
I currently use HTC_ime (it's an older version), going to update to version 25 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5475283), hopefully this will do the trick

The Japanese keyboard already on the phone has arrows on the English alphabet keyboard, for the weak of heart when it comes to installing things.
I was wondering if there is an app like VNC (using wifi) that will work as a gaming pad or keyboard. I know it sounds silly but i play racing games with friends and we have to change seats if front of the computer. If the phone worked as keyboard via wifi it would be great (all u really need is up down right left and space bar for handbreak). Obviously it must support multi touch. I think this is a good idea for developers as it might be a very usefull. Btw sgs2 is amazing
Try remote droid, you need the app from the market, the server from there website to be running on your computer and to be connected to the same network aka via wifi.
Works well for me, trackpad plus keyboard!

This is what i was looking for but theres no arrows (like on the keyboard) and multi touch doesnt seem to work any ideas?
It uses the keyboard you have installed, so install one that has arrow keys.
Multitouch works for me, two fingers scrolls for example.

I, apparently like many of you, have purchased the logitech android keyboard and I couldn't be more than pleased with the functionality. However there are a few things that it seems it is capable of that I have yet to figure out how to work.
Under language and input on physical keyboard settings I see the option to enable auto replace, auto capitalization, and auto punctuate. However I have not been able to see this actually function. Any feedback on anyone successfully using this would be great!
Also, what note taking apps have you guys been using? Anyone know of any that will make use of ctrl B, ctrl U, and ctrl I? What about bullet points, very few apps I've noticed have this feature. Any recommendations would help!

Hi,
I've been looking around for a way to re-map the up or down volume control to the FPS games shooting action (be able to shoot with the volume buttons instead of the virtual buttons)
is there any way to accomplish this?
Strange i was thinking about this yesterday. Would making fps games much better.

Well all the key mapping is on system/usr/keylayout you can open the files as a txt and try to change them although not sure if it's possible.
If the game is made to only react to onscreen touch events, no go as no buttons at all are queried so remapping won't do a thing there.
So I'm going to try this,
connecto a usb controller and see if the game reacts to the controller
using the app keynumberTrack I'll catchthe controller key code
then go to the configuration files and try to do something
hope to get good results, I'll post the outcome later
thanks folks!
Why don't you just use a controller via Bluetooth or OTG USB ?
How much punishment could the volume buttons take considering they would then be used many hundreds of times more than normal usage.

coz I dont want to carry around a game controller, If I'm on the bus where do I put the table?, or i'm at work (on my break time) I think is pretty much comfortable to hold the tablet an be able to press a button instead of connecting a game controller.
regarding the punishment on the button you may be right jeje but if we don't try we will never know
I just sent madfinger games a tweet. They are always open to suggestions.
I tweeted them last week to include a ping Meyer in the score menu and they said they will do that.
Maybe they can do this. Deadzone would be a killer with this feature.
I said maybe it could be an option to enable in the settings menu.

That`s great! Maybe they can give some light, we know that not all the android devices have the buttons on the same place but an in-game option to map the game action to a button will be perfect

No, but i think I can use my left hand in the same way as I use it to type or make the games go with my thumb, it will depend on the person's dexterity.
I wasnt able to get a OTG cable yet so I will try to make one and share the results

You cannot use the keyboard on the nexus 7 AFAIK.. I think you van just use the the arrow keys to navigate / scroll. Same goes with the functionality of the mouse.

Brother, I use the keyboard for typing and mouse for browsing the internet almost everyday.....and they work flawlessly together..i dont know why they cant be used for playing games...
During normal use, a kb and mouse work fine, as I use them constantly. But with games, you need an app that can act as an interpreter between the kb/mouse and the controls that the game is programmed to use. There are apps out there that do just that, and have been discussed in length in this section, general section, and the apps/themes section. They are apps like sixxaxis. There are others for tne kb mouse that you can try. A simple google search should get you where you need to be.
You should try USB/BT Joystick Center 8. It costs almost $5.00, but if it works for you, its worth it.
