[Q] New Tab Using Keyboard Dock

Random question... is there a button on the dock that any of you can find that when you click on a link in the browser it makes a new tab out of that page? for exmple, on windows when you hold down the control key and click it makes a new tab. I tried this on the keyboard and it did not work. Thanks in advance.

I don't have my dock yet, but I'd try ctrl+T

That makes a new tab, but thats not what i'm trying to do. I want to click on a link and make it turn into the new tab.
Example- when i am reading XDA forums and want to open a link someone posts but dont want to leave the forum, then on a windows computer i would hold CTRL and click the link.

Ohhh sorry... Either way I'm very interested in the solution to this.

Well, in regular android with touch controls you can long press on a link and then choose "open in new tab", so I guess that would work with the touchpad too. That's all I can think of though.

Try holding CTRL + Shift key then click on the link.

Shift Ctrl does not work, nor does just shift.
The other really random annoying thing that is you can not rearrange your tabs in the native browser. Oh well. Not the end of the world. Hopefully they will push a patch to fix it.

just longclick a link.

I'm sure more 'desktop' like functionality will be added as more Gingerbread tablets get out there. It will not surprise me at all if other manufacturers make keyboard docks like Asus did.
Tablets will get more and more functional, more powerful and usable. Many people will eventually be able to replace laptops and desktops with them.

Yeah, I read that the ctrl c and v (copy paste) doesn't work either. It all depends on the OS and/or apps. I actually don't know of the ctrl key will do anything. Remember honeycomb wasn't meant for a keyboard and mouse. If this combo becomes popular we may see more functionality included.

The control keys work in splashtop when controlling your computer.

I'm tempted to start a thread devoted to suggestions for updates for Asus to be aware of our ideas. Something like a key to enable a tab function seems like it would be easy to implement. Now that they have a majority of the major problems fixed (minus the whole screen lock issue), it seems like its time for the tweeks.

[APP][3.1+][LAUNCHER] TasKarou Launcher Overlay

Tired of moving your fingers up/down your tablet to switch applications? Try out TasKarou!
TasKarou is a multitasking launcher overlay.
Taking inspiration from the 'Quick Controls' feature in the android browser, TasKarou provides a multitasking layer on top of a launcher for phone and tablets.
By swiping anywhere on the left or right edge of your device screen, you can activate TasKarou's UI, giving you access to a quick, smooth, and intuitive interface to facilitate app launch, transition, and management for the user
The user interface brings a more responsive, and enjoyable level of interaction to your device.
The app is available in the android market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ne0fhykLabs.home.taskarou
Notes:
To use TasKarou, set it as the default home launcher, and from TasKarou's settings, select the actual home launcher you want to overlay.
TasKarou user interface is then triggered by swiping from either the left of right edge of your tablet screen, while still allowing access to the overlaid home launcher through the home button.

What's the difference between this and Wave Launcher?
I'm on GB and just wondering if I should subscribe to the thread in case it's ever made available for GB, should it offer something better.

Very nice work!

It should be possible, but unfortunately, I lack the resources to pursue development in that area (lack of devices running GB).
If someone has the knowledge, and the resources, I might consider open sourcing the app to allow development in that area.

I installed the app on my rooted Kindle Fire HD running ADW Launcher. It was nice to finally have multi-tasking/task switching ability on the tablet. Unfortunately had to uninstall it because it kept on causing failures with App Protector Pro - which I rely on more than task switching. When a new version comes out I'll try again.
Otherwise, great app!

I should mention that the error only occurs if you somehow try to avoid entering the password such as hitting the cancel button or the back button.

HI!
I've been using this app for a week now, and love it.
I have some suggestions that might be useful:
-I have a galaxy note 2 and it's quite difficult for short fingers like me to reach back/menu buttons when operating with one hand. Could you please, please, pleeease add them?:fingers-crossed:
-Also it would be awesome to customize menus. For example, I don't use the options buttons quite often as I use 15 toggles toolbar, and the lower menu is easier to access with my thumb than the upper. That's where I'd locate home, menu and back buttons (if added), but maybe another person that's using a tablet likes the way it is now. Customizable buttons would solve this problem, so anyone could move/add/remove the buttons as he prefered.
-When using Google Chrome and swapping between tabs,it's necessary to move your finger horizontally from the border of the screen, and taskarou is launching when doing this. Perhaps you could implement an additional way to launch it by moving the finger vertically along the border of the screen.
-Last, It would be great to have the possibility to add a shortcut to any application, so you could quick launch your most used apps.
Well, perhaps all of this is asking too much but you would make me sooo happy if you could implement the first suggestion

Hey ne0fhyk,
Could you add customisation to the buttons?? So that you can replace them with whatever you want, I would really like the back home and applications button, also a time overlay on the corcver of the screen when the launcher is activated would be aweomse

I just wanted to add my vote for the ability to customize the menu..
I like the idea, but would prefer to be able to use the existing default screens for multitasking, app drawer, etc.
Perhaps this could be accomplished similar to other apps / lauchers that have an intent / activity / application browsers to make shortcuts (NovaLauncher / QuickShortcutMaker are good examples from the Play store). Perhaps there could be a nested ordered list of menu items in the settings with support for drag and drop to arrange shortcuts, and add new shortcuts
After basic customization is available it would be nice to see support for Automation app API's to create shortcuts to actions from Tasker, AutomateIT Pro, etc
Thanks for listening!

All better!

Turns out that the problem was with App Protector Pro. I updated the app and no more problems. Happily using TasKoarou again.

Can you add a few buttons like back, lock screen and volume up down? like in buttonsavior app? I really liked your app, very useful and beautiful.

Thanks for the suggestions. I just pushed an update that add back, and menu shortcuts for rooted devices.
For the next update, my focus is to add the ability to customize the menu. That update should have the rest of the features you suggested.

Your first suggestions have been implemented, and should be available in the app, starting with version 3.2.
Your next suggestions are on my list to get done for the next update!
Sorry for the delay, but because of work, I do not have as much time to spend on this application as I wish. The app is open source though, so if you are a developer, or know interested developer, feel free to pitch in

Please, add shortcuts, last (previious) app, widget panel (from CM roms), open notifications and more hardware keys, like play\pause, volume and others.
Add second (inner) row for regular buttons, while outer row will act the same as now. If this will be implemented, than the outer row can be used in a whole new way. Swiping to the one of it's buttons and taking off the finger will start an action, binded to this button, but if you swipe and hold (with adjustable hold timeout), you'll get an access to submenu for the button.
I would also love to see black list for apps, such as drawing app ArtFlow, which is using screen borders to access tollbars.
I've just installed this app to use it instead of SlimPie in my Slim Bean rom, and I've already bought it, cause I like it's idea. Though, it's less responsive still, compared to LMT or SlipPie.
Keep up the good work.

Stunning work my friend

What are the power consumption repercussions of this? There would be two launchers running and active rather then one.

I tested it on several devices, and it doesn't affect battery life at all. While it's idle (not being triggered by the user), TasKarou launcher only background activity is to keep the trigger edges active, which allows it to consume very little cpu activity while in the background.

How to get 4.2 Nexus 10 Launcher!

All credit goes to Droid-Eye here for this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40021984&postcount=6 !!:good:
Anyone who was hoping to be able to use the new launcher (such as myself) will be happy to know that you can! It appears that the option is there in the 4.2 OTA update, it is just hidden from the settings menu. I assume that Asus are probably still working on it and will release it in a future update.
The only modification I made to Droid-Eye's method was to simply use a setting shortcut widget rather than an entire launcher option such as ADW.
I used 'Secure Settings' from Google Play, which is free. Please bear in mind you also need an Ipack for an icon for your shortcut. Luckily Secure Settings has a handy link to download free ones from Google Play when you are setting up your shortcut.
I hope it helps anyone desperte to try out the new launcher style. It seems many people hate the new launcher, and I'll admit that I did myself the first time I saw it. However, it has grown on me and I'm going to give it a run to see if I like it over the old style. I can always change back...for the moment anyway.
Note: There is no need to be rooted or unlocked to do this. You can always change back to previous launcher by setting up another shortcut widget in the new style launcher. Your tablet will need to restart to make the change, that is normal.

Screenshots.
As Droid-Eye correctly pointed out, the home soft button doesn't line up with the app draw button. I haven't found any other bugs yet.

The instructions worked well for me. So far I keep looking for the buttons in the wrong place. But overall the tablet seems snappier with this launcher. I also do like that the notifications shows across the top so you can see a lot more of the text.

Good looking out
I didn't even think about giving this its own thread. Hopefully, more people will consider trying the new layout now instead of just sticking with the status quo. I know not everyone will prefer them but it's always better to have the choice (I mean, this is Android after all).
Thanks for the credit.

Thanks, man. I've been playing around in the activities shortcuts since I first got my brand new (at the time) Moto Droid with 2.0.1(to give you a time frame). I've found all kinds of cool stuff that way and it's nice finding solutions that don't require root once in a while. I highly recommend combing through the system activities if only just to see if there's anything hiding, waiting for a later update. This is how I found Face Unlock before they were ready to give it to us, too (though it took some interesting hoop jumping to get it to actually work). Also how I found the stock android dialer so I could try it wwith different SIP clients (still a work in progress).
Anyway, dig through the activities. Guaranteed you'll find something to play with in there.

Maybe check the tf300 threads (since they're the only other ones with this ability) and see if anyone's found a workaround for it. If it's happening for them too and there isn't a fix, I'm sure GMD will want to know about it so it can be fixed before the rest of the tf700 and tf201 communities run into it. Either way, keep the shortcut handy and you can always toggle back whenever they update the app.

The setting is there, just the Secure Settings tool is less than intuitive. Keep looking around at the tool. I had to look at the sample picture in the second post several times before I figured out what it was showing. I'll post instructions later in the evening when I have time if no one else does.

After you have selected to create a widget using secure settings, pick an app, wait, and select settings. Next, you can click the .settings textfield. That will bring up a long list where you have to pick the .settings#launcherSwitchSettingsActivity. (Almost at the end of the list) Save.
Give the shortcut an appropriate name, pick an icon, and save the shortcut.

Just install Nova launcher.

Back of of Secure Settings and go to your Home screen. Go into the app drawer and tap the Widgets tab. Find the Secure Settings widget and long-press to add to your Home screen. Then, follow the rest of the directions.

[TIP] CM10 - What to Do if Your Physical Keyboard Shift or Capslock Keys Don't Work i

EDIT - so seems this isn't working. Sigh, thought this was the end of this particular problem. I'll keep researching and post if I find something.
Found this on the Droid 4 forum (link below). So I always had an issue with not being able use symbols, capitalize stuff, etc. when using Chrome, Naked Browser, whatever. Figured it was a software issue but finally decided to Google it and the fix is easy:
-Settings
-Language/Input
- AOSP Settings
- Language
- Uncheck 'Use System Language'
- Scroll down, uncheck English
- Scroll Down to No Language - QWERTY (seriously, says that), check
Should be good to go. Not sure if it works on stock but worth a shot. I hated having to use my on screen keyboard for passwords and crap.
Soure: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...shift-key-not-working-most-punctuation-4.html

Ah, I did always wonder why some text fields seemed to be created differently than others...
Input field racism I tell you!
Nice find, thanks
Edit - just tried it, perhaps I need to restart... I still need to hold shift in order to get special characters to appear in fields on Chrome...

Yea, still having issues myself. Seems to work in the url field but not in password fields, etc. I'll see if I can find anything else in the link or online.

Bummer, I was hoping I did something wrong, lol.
I'm trying to remember what apps were misbehaving here as well... there were a few, which probably just used webUI frontends for their app instead of making true context-aware Android fields.

I know it works in Words with Friends, text messaging and most other apps (can't remember any not working) and seems to be only in the browser. Really annoying but holding the shift key is better than before where I just opened up Swype.

Oh holding shift in the browser always worked for me... I was always able to put in the special characters holding shift, even before this mod.
Still, it's confusing why different text fields receive different treatment...

It never even occured to me to hold the shift key down, honestly. I just dealt with it. I don't really know the inner workings of android well enough to say why it doesn't work but I think it's weird that it works in mobile apps like USAA and Ebay, which I always thought just took the website and displayed it in a better format than a browser.
Sent from my XT897 using Tapatalk 2

Hi,
First of a i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but it is hardware keyboard related. So if it is misplaced please forgive me!
How do you disable the special characters that are typed when you quickly double press for example the letter e. example: I want to type steel, but i end up with stél.

Settings - Advanced - multipress. Two options, you pick one. The multipress interval let's you disable the feature completely.

So I was messing around a bit and it seems I don't need to hold the shift key to get a special character, just press the character key right after the shift key. I ridiculously quick press that requires two hands anyways. So maybe the browsers aren't correctly interperting the 'hold' the shift key normally sends (I know very little about coding so hopefully this makes sense) and releasing it way too soon? I think I've exhausted Google search options as of now.

[Q] disable app list button

Is it possible to disable the collection of opened apps and web pages that comes up when you hit the square at the bottom right hand of the screen. It's really irritating to go through having to delete 20 or so screens. If I want an app, I can click the icon and open it. Arghhh!
My apologies if someone just point me to a link. I've looked and haven't been able to find anything.

By web pages, are you referring to tabs from chrome browser? If so, there is a option in chrome to disable showing open tabs in the recents screen
Please let me know If that didn't answer your question

Thanks but I'm not using chrome. It's really very insecure. You can be checking your bank account for example and if you leave your phone available someone can pick up all sorts of info about you by just looking at the web page (in my case dolphin) or apps you've had open. I know it was meant as a convenience, but it would be nice to be able to shut it off.

That's exactly what I want. I want to be able to turn off recents or overview or whatever it is called so that when I touch the square button nothing happens
If it's not possible currently I hope someone from the Android development team is listening and gives it some thought.

It's been in Android for a long time, and it's going to stay. It's a core part of the Android workflow. Removing the functionality is near-impossible, but one could make the button do nothing or set it's visibility to gone.
I recommend you just maybe log out or close anything you deem important enough to be a reason for wanting to disable this functionality. It's just a swipe away. Otherwise, you might as well leave it open as the foreground task and complain that it doesn't close it every time you turn on the screen while you're at it.

Thanks. Just have to live with it I guess.
