I just got this keyboard, amazon.com/gp/product/B004L9MBH6/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01
There are a few function keys that currently are not assigned a function. Is there a way to program those keys to perform tasks?
My tablet is a Nx 10, stock.
Thanks in advance.
You could edit the specific device file in the system/usr/keylayout folder.
Or the easy way:

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!

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.
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!

Since installing this ROM (which I am loving btw), my physical keyboard's button for c o m/w w w is functioning like an Enter button when you press it. Any way to change or customize this?
Thanks!
I have the same issue.

Same its part of the keymapping, it didn't bother me much. The dev for mimcry is really active just post and let him know if he doesnt already.
That's really interesting and something I didn't notice. Mine isn't acting as an Enter but instead as a Space (1.5.0)

Did you guys install the Enhanced Keymaps (read the OP) in Aroma? If so, that key gets mapped to TAB, rather than www/com. Enhanced Keymaps also maps a bunch of other things to unused keys on the keyboard so read up on it.

If you don't want Enhanced Keymaps, re-flash the rom and select the menu item to modify tweaks/mods and de-select it.

This fixed my issue thanks! Didn't realize what the Enhanced Keymap feature did in that respect. Thanks again for the awesome rom, can't wait for JB
I'm using a logitech K400 keyboard/mouse combo on the OUYA. Everything seems to mapped out pretty well, but I don't seem to have any buttons mapped to output for the O U Y A buttons. I'm currently rooted. What's the best way to map these buttons onto the keyboard.

I was able to map some functions onto my Logitech keyboard by modifying a file called generic.kl ; /system/usr/keylayout
All I really did was to map HOME and BACK to function keys though. Didn't do anything with the O U Y A buttons. But should be doable.
Note that an ota will rewrite the file. So make a backup of the modded file if you're gonna allow an ota.
. You might also try something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=innerlife.keyboard.multilanguagekeymapredefiner
Haven't tried the app myself though-- and you'll need to side load it, or have play store installed.
Either way you have to be rooted.
I also found that if you do something wrong (can't remember exactly what it was) when modifying the generic.kl file, it may render the keyboard useless. So if you go that route, back up that file before doing any changes in case you need to revert to it.
Cheers.

Thanks! I will try this tonight. All I'm really looking to map is the "O" to navigate the menus. Unless I'm missing something and there is already a button on the keyboard mapped for that.
Hi, I'm running Slim 4.3 Build 1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393971) on my lcd version nexus s and really like the on screen buttons included with the rom. Is there any way to remove the back light from the capacities buttons and stop them vibrating?
Thanks
If you download Nexus S Tools from the Play Store, you can disable the capacitive lights, and there's a file somewhere in system/usr that has the keycodes for the capacitive buttons (you'll know what file it is when you see it, there's like 4 lines for back, home, search, and menu). What you gotta do is put a # in front of each line and reboot, then the capacitive buttons will be disabled.

I couldn't find anything called "Nexus S" tools.
Bit of a noob mate , how do I find the system/user and edit it?

To edit the file, download a file explorer (ES File Explorer is what I use) and enable "root explorer" then go into settings and make sure /system is set to "R/W" (there's a little check box somewhere).
From there go into /system/usr/keylayout/cypress-touchkey.kl and open it as text. Then put a # in front of every line that doesn't have one and then reboot

Do you know if there's a similar procedure to remove also the backlight??
I'd like to keep them always off without changing kernel or rom, i'm on 4.1.2 stock.

As long as you have root, NSTools is always my go-to option since its designed for this phone specifically, so I'd give that a whirl. I don't know exactly what file controls the backlight so I can't help you there

I already tried NStools, but it require a modified kernel to edit the capacitive keys backlight.
Thank you anyway
^Same, I'm trying NStools but I don't thin the kernal is letting me do much. Any recommendations on a good krnal to flash with slim?
Marmite that comes with slim rom is good. I have disabled the back lights using that and nstools in the past. But often they would flicker if you touched them which bugs me.
In the settings somewhere you should be able to disable the hardware keys without altering any system files. I am not on that rom anymore so I can't tell you exactly where!
Ended up using nstools + disabling vibration
esexplorer is pretty complicated
Thanks for the help everybody
