How to map apps to keyboard shortcuts under Android 4 ICS
Under the default launcher on my Notion Ink Adam tablet with CM9 / ICS 4.04, I can't find a way to access the keyboard shortcut mapping for apps. At least one other device has this problem -- I found this useful thread giving a workaround involving installing Nova or Apex Launchers to create a shortcut to the QuickLaunch Settings app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654377
I looked at the logcat in sl4a (Scripting language for android) to find out what app launches the settings: com.android.settings/.quicklaunch.QuickLaunchSettings
So you can also launch the app by opening Terminal and running:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.quicklaunch.QuickLaunchSettings
I hope that helps someone! I wanted to post a reply to the other thread, but don't have the minimum 10 posts to allow me to post in developer threads.

Shortcuts
Hello
I'm using Pureness ICS, and there the shortcuts (copy, paste, select text and so on) with the menu or shift button doesn't work.
:crying:
Is there a fix for that?
Thanks, these could prove to be very useful time savers!

Try Ctrl+A/X/C/V instead of Menu.

Thanks Norris! I didn't want to install Nova/Apex for this, so found Manual Intent Shortcuts in market (by IG88) which can create the shortcut as follows:
Action: android.intent.action.MAIN
Component Package: com.android.settings
Component Class FQN (note no /): com.android.settings.quicklaunch.QuickLaunchSettings
I wanted to go deeper and assign a quick launch key (Search+Q) to open the quick launch settings
It's easy: When assigning a key, instead of choosing an application, select top-right "..." menu -> "Shortcuts", choose Manual Intent Launcher and configure as above.
Yay!
Thanks
What is the key to bring up the Menu itself? This is like pressing the soft-menu key on the device itself to bring the Menu of the application.
I have a Logitech K810 which works well. I tried pressing FN, the Windows button, CTRL and ALT and all no go.
Hi,
I am looking for the keyboard combination for launching voice search. I found the Android key code. [Constant Value: 231 (0x000000e7)] but haven't figured out which keys to press for it.
Thanks!

Got a Sony Bravia Android TV and a generic USB mini keyboard. I want to turn the TV off (standby) with a hotkey or some sort of button on the leanback launcher. Any suggestions?
Hello,
Someone know how to enter to settings?
Curious if there are any keyboard shortcuts to access notifications?

In honor Yes!
i know other keys, and i'm looking for the shortcut to change source
winkey + backspace = exit/back on remote ctrl
alt-tab = switches back and forth between the last used and current app
winkey + space = google search (start typing immediately)
crtl-alt-del = restarts your TV (like a PC did in the MSDOS-era)
if you have a keyboard with media buttons and special function buttons like the sleep button; those all work..
Internet-keyboards from the early days are especially good:
the "Homepage" button brings you back to the startscreen of AndroidTV
the "moon" sleep button puts your tv to sleep, a mode where you can use another device to wake it up very fast with Wake-On-Lan commands
I've found those just by trying out known windows and linux shortcuts i'm used to use...

Android can do a lot for you-but you have to know where to begin. Compared to the iPhone's cut-and-dried interface, the Android operating system gives you ample room for customization and control. Here's a step-by-step guide to making the most of your Android phone's many features.
The Desktop
The first thing you'll notice about Android is that its desktop differs somewhat from those on other smartphone platforms. You have a lot of freedom to customize the Android desktop-and you aren't limited to four simple rows of perfectly aligned square icons. As a result, you can customize the Android desktop to reflect your interests, and you can make it as full and dynamic as you like.
The Android desktop is composed of multiple homescreen panels. Depending on the version of Android that your phone uses and on whether your device has a specialized overlay such as MotoBlur, you may have five to seven home-screen panels.
When you power up your phone for the first time, you'll see the main homescreen panel. This panel is typically centered, and you can access additional panels on either side of the main one by swiping your finger left or right. What goes on the homescreens is up to you. You can fill the space with any combination of shortcuts, widgets, and folders.
As you'd expect, short-cuts are small icons that let you load apps or other functions on your phone; they function much like the ones you see on a PC desktop. You can set a shortcut to do anything from opening a program to linking to a specific Web page to initiating a phone call.
To add a shortcut, simply press and hold your finger on any open space on your home screen, and select Shortcuts from the resulting pop-up menu. From there, select Applications (to add an app), or Direct dial or Direct message (to create a shortcut for calling or texting a friend), or Bookmark (to open a Web page), or Directions (to activate turn-by-turn navigation to a specific destination).
Widgets are dynamic programs that operate directly on your homescreen. They can perform any number of functions-giving you the latest weather, for example, or letting you play music from either your personal collection or from the Internet. Should you want more, you can download additional widgets from the Android Market.
To add a widget, press and hold your finger on an open space, as you would to create a shortcut (above). This time, though, select the Widgets option from the pop-up menu. Even if you haven't downloaded anything from the Android Market, you should have a handful of options built into your phone. Start by adding the Power Control widget; it creates a handy dandy one-touch toggle control for you phone's Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, data syncing, and screen brightness.
Folders are a good way to keep your content organized while simultaneously expanding your homescreen space. A folder lets you group multiple shortcuts in a single space. When you tap on a folder, a box pops up showing all of the shortcut icons inside that folder. You can fill one folder with one-touch dialing shortcuts to all of your favorite contacts, and another, perhaps, with various phone-number lookup utilities. Folders help you add many useful things to your homescreens without eating up a lot of space.
To add one, press and hold your finger on an open space. Select Folders, and then New Folders. Then drag and drop as many shortcuts into the folder as you wish. To give it a custom name, tap the folder once to open it, and then hold your finger along the top bar until the Rename folder dialog box appears on your screen. To move any shortcut, widget, or folder, simply touch and hold your finger to it. After a couple of seconds, it will seem to lift up from the screen. You can then drag it anywhere, including to another panel and drop it wherever you like. As you drag and drop, you'll also see a trash symbol at the bottom-center of the screen; slide any icon down onto the trash symbol to remove it from the homescreen altogether.
Getting Around
Android phones have four standard keys: a Back button, a Menu button, a Home button, and a Search button. These keys will help you navigate through your phone more easily, no matter what program or process you're running.
Pressing the Back key takes you back one step to whatever you were doing prior to the beginning of your current step. It works in Web navigation, e-mail navigation, or navigation to a previously open program.
Pressing the Menu key brings up a list of options relevant to the area of the phone you're currently using. When you press it on the homescreen, it permits you to access your phone's settings and other customization options.
The Home key has two functions: If you press it once, it takes you back to your home screen. If you press and hold it, it allows you to multitask and switch to other programs you've recently used.
Pressing the Search key produces different results depending on where you are in Android at the time. From your home screen, it brings up a Quick Search Box that you can use to search the Web and your phone at the same time (Android will return the most relevant results from either domain as you type). From within an app, the Search key typically starts a search specific to that program-enabling you to search exclusively within your e-mail, for example, or within your contacts list.
The App Launcher
You can always find all of your apps in the app launcher. To open the launcher, simply tap the square icon at the bottom of the screen. The launcher looks different depending on what version of Android you have, and whether or not your phone has a custom overlay.
Within the app launcher, you can tap any app's icon to run the program, or press and hold it to drag it directly onto the home screen as a shortcut.
Notifications
Android's notification panel puts incoming information at your fingertips, no matter what you're doing. Notifications can come from many different places: e-mail, voicemail, text messaging, even social network and news applications. When you get a new notification, an icon will appear at the top-left of your screen. You can pull down the panel to see detailed information about the notification and then take action if you wish.
Check the settings of various applications to see what kind of notifications they offer, and then customize them to work for you.

Whilst working on a Kiosk project at work, I found that most of the Kiosk applications on Google Play are either bloated, expensive (some 30 GBP + per device) or unstable. So I decided to bite the bullet and write my own version, of which can be found below:
Kiosk Web Browser/Launcher has been designed for use on tablets or phones and is great for creating public kiosks, digital signage etc....
Key features:
- Set as default launcher
- Set default kiosk home page
- Keep screen on permanently
- Reload page on idle timeout
- Lock Screen Rotation
- Disable access to settings - via default intent
- Disable access to Google Now - via default intent
- Password protected settings
- Hide menu items (settings is then accessible via blank square in the top right hand corner)
- Hidden notification bar
- Locked back button
- Disable access to recent apps
- Load website in desktop mode (user agent)
- Customisable application title
- Optional pinch & double-tap zooming
- Optional back & forward buttons
Tested on Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and a ViewSonic VS220 smart monitor.
All comments & suggestions welcome.

Single app vs. web browser
How difficult would it be to launch and arbitrary app instead of the web browser?
There seems to be this distinction between 'web browser kiosk' software and 'single app kiosk'. I would think most of the functionality is duplicated (overriding default behaviors, hiding UI elements, power management, etc)
Hi,
This app doesn't just launch the browser it is a browser based on the Android Webview. Disabling system functions for a 3rd party app is more difficult to achieve but not impossible.

Thank you.

Quite nice app and concept. But could really do with icon pack support.
Oh, and I had idea that I'd like the shortcuts to just appear at certain times like when connected to Bluetooth in my car. Then I'd have access to other apps when using satnav etc. But when I start app it opens main app rather than just launching existing shortcuts. Is this possible to do? Thanks.

Thanks for implementing the GPS/Bluetooth switch. Would like to see them toggle on AND off with Bluetooth etc though. And even bigger shortcuts too. And if the app is swept from recents to remove shortcuts, they won't toggle back with GPS etc. So some sort of ongoing service would be a good idea. Please continue development as this has potential!

About
- ON/OFF toggles > thr is system toggles in notification and i don't think it s necessary for floating one However there s limitation for some features like GPS.
- Remove app from Recent > these shortcuts are services depend on app so when u remove the app they should stop too. otherwise lots of app can run service that cause huge battery draining.
- there is 3 sizes for shortcuts. do you mean bigger than 'Big' option?
:good:
I don't mean system toggle. When I tested it, the app would switch on the shortcuts on connection to Bluetooth etc, but wouldn't switch them off on disconnect. I also think the shortcuts should be even bigger than big! I could retest if you send across an apk!
