Remap keys on external keyboard? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I recently got an awesome external keyboard for the n7(will post review) and I was wondering if It was possible to remap the keys on it so when I press the FN and number 4 key (btw it has a browser icon on it) it takes me to chrome instead of the old one?
Thanks.

There's an hide function, great word prediction and you can move the cursor with the volume keys.
You hide the keyboard by holding the menu-button down a second or two! Works everywhere and for bringing it up too!

Arrow key function in swype?

Hey all, sometimes when I typed a wrong word with swype is there any better way to correct it? I wish there were arrow keys... It would be so much easier.

Just slide your finger from the lower left opt key to SYM key and this will enable the arrow keyboard.

It's a completley different phone by Motorola I don't think he read that you do currently already own a Desire Z
Are you talking about an alternate touchscreen keyboard? Of the more popular ones on the Market, Thumb Keyboard is the only one that seems to have arrow keys. The arrow key layout reminds me of the old stock HTC touchscreen keyboard on Windows Mobile devices.
But why not just use the optical trackpad to move the cursor, instead of clogging up screen real estate with arrow keys?
You could map 4 buttons to up/down/left/right. Maybe the 2 program buttons, the extra shift, and the search? Do a search for key mapper, it's been posted here before.

Or maybe help "Z Arrow" app on market ...
'Keyboard from Android 2.3' is free from the Market and has arrow keys that 'collapse' in and out when you need them by holding the spacebar key and dragging up to activate, or down to deactivate. Screen real estate is preserved when you don't need them plus i reckon the gingerbread keyboard is pretty impressive in itself.

Smart Keyboard Pro has an option (its off by default) to turn on a dpad/arrow. Works good.
if you want it on the physical keyboard you can do what i did and use button remapper to change shortcute keys 1 and 2 to left and right, work so much better for terminal then the track pad.

Mouse - assignment of keys

Hey out there,
I connected an USB mouse to my A500.
Is it possible to change the assignment of keys?
If I push the right mouse key the Tab wents back.
I want it to open the Settings of the actual app (like it does on my windows pc)
Is there a way to realize this?
I noticed this to but if you want settings you simply hold down the left mouse button.

Remap Bluetooth Keyboard?

Is there a way to remap Bluetooth keyboard keys without requiring root? My keyboard's "home" button does nothing (but Fn+F1, which has a home symbol on it, works), and Fn+F3 for Internet also doesn't launch anything.
