[Q] Remap Keys Bluetooth Keyboard

I just got my bluetooth keyboard with built in mouse today and got it to connect. The mouse doesn't work but the keyboard does. Sadly there is no menu or back button on the keyboard. Escape won't work to go back and I would like to use control for menu if possible. Also I can use the FN key for special characters but not to change volume. My question is does anyone know how to remap these buttons?
Anyone? 10char
anyone? just want to set esc as back, ctrl as menu and something as search
Ok so keys work on CM 6.1. No menu button though but built in mouse works along with FN/VOL keys.

[Q] Remap bluetooth keyboard keys

I have the zaggfolio case and keyboard. I was wondering is there anyway to edit the functions of the keyboard. For example: change the ctrl key to a shortcut for my browser or if i long press the home but recents will show. thanks
Bumping you because I want to do the same thing for the opposite reason: My keyboard Esc key is interpreted as a local 'Back' press, and Ctrl goes I don't know where. I want it to stop modifying these keys and send them through ConnectBot instead.

Mapping softkeys to keyboard

Hey guys,
I have an mk808b htpc stick, and a wireless mini keyboard & mouse combo. Is there any app out there that will let me map physical keys to soft keys\shortcuts?
Meaning, my f1 key can be the home button, f2 the back button etc...and if i want to launch settings I can use f7.. I have done multiple searches, but I must be doing it wrong, because all I find is talk about modifying IME keyboard for custom icons etc.
Thanks,
M

Menu button on bluetooth keyboards ??

I have a mini bluetooth keyboard and some commands require the menu button??
so far there is no menu button on this keyboard and the reference documents say that this is bound to the context menu button on windows keyboard layouts.... but this layout doesent have the context menu button so is there a combination of keystrokes that can emulate this or a way to remap??
My phone is not rooted so please do not post fixes that require me to do this as the unit is still in warrenty

Android Key Mapping

Hi all,
I am trying to map some keys to play a game named War Robots on my Android Nvidia Shield TV device but I am struggling with one key but only in 'touchscreen mode'. Unfortunately in 'keyboard mode' the game doesn't seem to operate correctly and the robot turns in circles and you have to press the toggle to make it stop turning whereas in touchscreen mode (i.e. unplug the mouse and keyboard) the turning is perfect but I can't map a button on my controller to trigger firing all weapons.
The firing all weapons button when using a keyboard and mouse is mapped to Left Mouse Click or Shift or funnily enough the pipe symbol '|'.
This is what I have done so far:
1. Installed a keymap app on the Shield
2. Mapped all buttons (X and B controller buttons to Space and 'Q' for other special game properties) and have the 'Fire All' button 'Shift' triggered by the 'A' button on the controller.
When I start the game with the keyboard I test this and all mappings work fine and 'A' does seem to 'Fire All' but as soon as I want to go to touchscreen mode (by unplugging the keyboard and mouse) to get the maneuverability working the 'A' controller button no longer does anything although the other mapped buttons do still work on the controller.
So frustrating that touchscreen mode seems to just stop this one button and I have spent hours at this trying the other buttons that had mapped okay to 'Space and'Q' to the 'Fire All' to get around it but had no luck so maybe there is no way. I am not even sure if this touchscreen mode is unique to War Robots to be honest or it is standard Android.
Anyone know in Android touchscreen mode how to trigger a left mouse click or Shift button press maybe or any ideas for a workaround?
Thanks
p.s. this techy stuff might help some gurus on here as to how they do things: developer.android.com/stories/games/war-robots
