Need TASKBAR on Android phones like windows on computer, it must be overlay on each open application so we can switch between running applications. Instead of Dock Bar .. Task bar will very useful to operate phone.
Just press and hold the home button?
Thanx,
That was a hint I did not know about
Holding the home button shows you the recently used apps, not ones that are currently running.
Im curently using a half size bluetooth keyboard paired to my phone (nexus 4) which is running RemoteDroid. That is used to forward keystrokes to my PC. Why? because I have a broken collarbone and cant use my fullsize wired keyboard properly So im using my phone as an intermediate device (BluetoothK/B->Phone->WiFi->PC) to be able to use the bluetooth keyboard. Putting the phone in close proximity to the K/B means It has a much better range and signal quality via WiFi. The phone itself also has a better bluetoooth receiver than any laptop or desktop USB bluetooth receivers ive tried, giving much more reliable keystrokes at higher typing speed than gong straight to PC
The problem is some of the keys dont work correctly and I believe its because Android is interpreting them differently. i.e. 'Tab/Delete/Insert/Home/End/num +/ num -.. etc' dont get forwarded to the PC,And some keystrokes are simply incorrect` i.e. the right shift key acts more like CTRL for some things. Shift+2 becomes " instead of @ (need to press alt 2 instead) and so on
In addition I have a touchpad on the little keyboard and that only works in a limitted fashion
Is there an app out there that can 'grab' the Android inputs of a device and remap them? so i.e. mouse click could be emulated as pressing the Enter key if I so wished
Additionally` is there a progam that can forward these 'raw inputs' to a PC via USB/WiFi/Bluetooth? remotedroid does indeed forward some inputs of key presses as best it can (arrow keys for instance) but it seems to do it 'after' the android OS (i.e. alt+tab makes the android program switch applications, rather than forwarding the 'alt' and 'tab' keys to the PC)
It does not however forward mouse inputs (havnt tried gamepad) so its not possible to use a mouse or trackpad as intended. I have to emulate a screen press (hold left click on trackpad and move the cursor across the remotedroid screen)
Hope the above makes sense, and yes im aware I could simply bluetooth directly to the PC but wheres the fun in that?

Hi!
I´m in love with the Dex on PC function since I work with a 3 monitor setup (two external screens + notebook integrated display) and for security reasons, basicaly everything is blocked on firewall, just a handfull of domains are free for access from the intranet and with Dex, I can search, talk and reach anything, using only my PC and without the security concerns...
But, there always a "but": I have a issue with the keyboard inside Dex on PC that don´t happen when using "pure" Dex mode: when I type the interrogation mark (?) character, it don't apperar on my text and it open the volume control, changing the media sound level. This happens in 3 Windows 10 PCs I've tested, with 3 different physical keyboards and with any language layout. Already verified all keyboard shortcuts and nothhing points to volume control...
Anyone have bumped in this issue?

I have played with Dex on PC using my Note10 and USB cable(that is what you are using?) for few minutes couple of times. On your DeX desktop there should be "settings" icon. It will take you to phone's settings and there you will see Dex as the first item. It has few settings for Keyboard and some other... I found out that choosing default Samsung Keyboard on your phone, brings better DeX experience.
:laugh:

I was wondering with the issue is with the host system, not in the Note10 side... I have already tried 3 cables already have wiped the cache partition, updated Dex on PC application and no go...
About the host system, all my Windows10 PCs are pt_BR locale, maybe the application doesn't cope with the diferent system language on the host PC...
Replying to myself, I think the problem is related to the locale of the host computer: yesterday I tested the function my daughter's Galaxy S10e after the update what gave the Dex on PC to the S10 line and surprise, have the same problem with the "?" mark on physical keyboard just like my N10+...
So, I linked the N10+ via "Microsoft Your PC" link for Note10 and this function allows me to remotely access the phone like a remote desktop, showing the native phone interface on the PC, as the photos, messages and notifications, but when accessing the remote interface, I can use the Note10 and type using my PC keyboard, except for the "?" Mark that in this case, doesn't appers to be sent to the phone at all.
To conclude, my theory is that both solution have problens to cope with my pt_BR system locale since even the keyboard being recognized with all characters and symbols, the interrogation Mark don't work work on Note10 via companion PC Link App and neither Note10 or S10 have working "?" mark via Dex on PC, in this case the "?" being recognized as the volume UP key, all of this after testing 3 diferent PCs and 2 diferent smartphones...

Someone knows how to enter Settings or Search in settings or
Open TalkBack menu (I know shortcut is available as Vol+ Vol- but default is off)
with a USB keyboard connected to the phone?
It is a keyboard shortcut or a sequence of keys.
Under Win + / there is a shortcut list, but not there.
OKAY. After hours of rummaging around, I found a way.
I attach the keyboard to the phone.
Standby phone, pin locked.
I press 2xSPACEBAR, enter the pin, ENTER
(I'm on the desktop)
I press WINDOWS + N, after a while 5xTAB, ENTER
(I'm in settings)
and if someone else wanted TalkBack to turn it on even further:
ENTER
I type TAL
ENTER
SPACEBAR
SPACEBAR
(you hear a voice saying where I am currently on the menu)
WINDOWS + BACKSPACE
WINDOWS + BACKSPACE
My bestfriend is on a mi 9, and she has a broken screen.
For my phone (mi 11) I managed to get to SETTINGS with FN+A keys (oppens search bar) then typing settings and enter.
I will try activate talkback as you suggested, or maybe directly usb file sharing if I can, I'll tell you, you may have saved her her datas
