USB Keyboard Mapping with OTG? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My USB Keyboards work with a OTG but the keyboard mapping is not very good for special keys (escape, control, caps, alt, ..). Is there a keyboard input option I should be using?

Keyboard and language

I was wondering if the option to connect a USB keyboard through the 4-1 cable is workable when using non a non US keyboard layout. Can I change the keyboard layout in WM5 just as I can on a PC? I'd like to connect a danish or swedish keyboard to it.

[SOLVED] DEX virtual keyboard without dex docking station

I know threads about enabling DEX [1][2]. I have enabled DEX already by rooting with TWRP and using NOX kernel [3].
But when I connect phone with a third party dongle or even with original Samsung (non-dex) usb-c hub, things work except for the virtual on-screen keyboard. When I click the keyboard icon at the bottom the keyboard only appears on phone but never on external display. This same thing happens on my S9 where DEX works OOB with any dongle. Changing physical keyboard setting to enable on-screen keyboard even with phy keyboard present does not help.
So I'm thinking that virtual keyboard also needs some modification to appear on external display when non-dex dongle is used. Anybody has any idea what would need to be modified? Any pointers?
Thanks!

My bad. If I open settings through DEX there is "DEX settings" and then keyboard/input settings where one can choose location of virtual keyboard - DEX screen or phone screen.

Changing my keyboard language

Hi, I have an android tv box and I have connected an external keyboard to it with a USB dongle.
I have downloaded an app called "Button mapper" to try and map a button to switch my keyboard language, and I didn't find an option to do so.
My keyboard is a logitech K400 plus.
How can I do it?
thanks in advance.
