hi,
is there a way to remap the two hard keys home and back, without using aeb, because AEB interfers with the keys FN plus è,é ç,à on the hard azerty keyboard.
Thanks
You can look at changing the registry, the following worked for the Kaiser:

It may not be the same key but its a start in the right direction if you don't want to install an app.
Hello all,
I installed AE Button Plus 2.6.6.1 in my Topaz, with ROM 1.39.405.2 WWE. I tried unsuccessfully to remap both the Windows and the Back key, but nothing happened... By the way, the Back key did not exist, and I used the "Add Key" function to capture it; however, when I pressed it, the check box "Win Key" in AEBP was auto-checked... In any case it doesn't matter much, since as I said neither it nor the original Win key worked...
Has anyone used AEBP in Topaz with success? Any other key mapping software you would recommend?
The back key is actually the OK key.. that's confirmed.
I know the results of using the software is abit unexpected.. you'll have to experiment around.
I use it for my VOL up and down keys, and mapped it to UP and DOWN respectively. When I press and hold the keys, thats when I get to control the volume. Generally, my volume is always set to max, so Up and DOWN functionality is more important for me.
Now.. I can use my VOL up and down buttons to fast-forward and reverse video playback in CorePlayer
It seems like Manilla is blocking the Win key and OK/back key.
With Manila disabled you can control all keys. Note that you have to map all keys once you have mapped some of Win / Ok / Call End. AE shows this info too.
And my mapping :
Vol Up/Down single press - Arrow Up/Down
Vol Up/Down long press - Vol Up/Down
Call Start single - Call start
Call Start double - Left Softkey
Call Start triple - Task manager
Call Start long - Enter
Win Key single - Left Arrow
Win Key long - Start menu
OK Key single - Right Arrow
OK Key long - OK/Close
Call End single - Call End
Call End double - Right Softkey
Call End triple - Screen On/Off
Works great and I can control most of apps without tapping (really useful in Total Commander, I have really small font in there)
But there is a problem controlling games - some of them ignore AE Buttons - and for the others the key presses come too slow.
Have fun!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So you mean that if I want the AEBP to work I must not use TF3D? Then there is no point in having it...
That's right, after deactivating TF3D I was able to map all keys.
Maybe just enabling standard start menu and volume control will help (search for registry tweaks).
Since I am only needing an "OK" (or "Enter") key (like the one in TD1), is there a way to do it myself by modifying a reg key? I also searched Advanced Config, but it seems to offer only soft keys remapping...
tl;dr
How do I remap keys on the physical keyboard?
VoiceInput --> ALT
Emoticon --> ???
/tl;dr
Is there a way I could make the Voice Input key on the keyboard another Alt key? I never use voice input, but I find myself using exclamation points a lot. [I get excited about things. Don't judge me!] So I was wondering if we could remap keys like that. And since the Emoticon button only works in stock Messaging, that'd be a good one to replace, too, for those of us who are on other SMS apps.
EDIT: It seems I'd forgotten about this thread. The instructions work for remapping keys. I made VoiceInput another Alt, and I put VoiceInput on the Emoticon key.
I need to launch a tasker action by pressing a key on my external usb keyboard
old quicklaunch is burried but still functional, the problem is that uses ALT + key and NOT 1 key only. Can I change this?
OR
Can i create a custom layout file (/system/usr/keylayout/*.kl) to bind a specific keycode to ALT + key instead of single key?
thank you
The problem is there is no Lithuanian keyboard. When I long press "A" various types of A's shows up, but the only one needed is "Ą". Also long pressing "I" doesn't have "Į" at all and same with some other buttons. So is there a way to edit the symbol variety for long pressed buttons?
