Does anyone know how to configure custom keyboard mappings and/or shortcut bindings for WebOS? Is there a config file I can edit to do system wide remaps?
Dammit, mods move this to General please. Thank you.

That would be awesome if it can be done as I'd love to have a split keyboard like thumb key or swiftkey x.
Update: Probably doable through this: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Changing_keyboard_layout_on_Touchpad
I'll get started tonight and report any progress.

Hi All,
I'm wondering if anyone knows how to define the settings for ADW.Launcher in a custom ROM. Is there some sort of XML file I can put in /system or something?
I'd like to pre-define the icons/widgets on the desktop and the action buttons.

Umm. You would need to look at how ADW stores its settings just now. They will be in /data/data/com.adw.launcher/ or something like that. Play with the files there and see what happens and look inside the sqlite databases etc.
Then try putting those files into the data folder of your zip.Give that a go.
Did anybody get this to work yet? A similar question was asked in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7571896#post7571896
I replied with an XML file I found that may be useful, but I didn't get a chance to test it yet.
Does anyone know of a good keyboard app that has build-in keys for control & escape & up/down/L/R arrows?
I need to ssh into unix for work; connectbot does a good job of that, but two problems:
* the on-screen keyboard when activated would cover up part of the screen
* and to compensate for that, I need to resize the screen each time, and the resizing for landscape is not the same as that for portrait, not to mention the fact that I can't control the font size
So: does anyone know of a good terminal emulator that does a better job with resizing/font setup?
THANKS!

I would suggest trying irssibot.. It's a fork of connectbot. It doesn't do font/screen handling any better, but what it does have is nice shortcuts when long-pressing on the screen.. Control-C, Control A, Alt-? (where you hit the key after), etc... Works great with irssi, but also works great using GNU/screen
Either way, an on screen keyboard is going to mess with the screen. But I find it's more than acceptable on the Nook Color.

Thanks! I just downloaded irssi from the market and I like the long-press menu. Question: is there a way to add more items to the long-press menu? Just have a single Ctrl would do (it already did that with Alt-).
Thanks!

Yeah agreed. I emailed the author a while back and they said "they are still working on function from connectbot and will add more features later" basically. I agree, Control-? would be great.
In the Android SDK - there is a sample keyboard apk, if you look through the source code you easily change any keys to whatever symbols you want. I have interest in this as well so I can ssh into my schools server. Another option would be to decompile the standard barns and noble keyboard and see if you cant change some of the xml files to have the keys point to different symbols. I personally like the barnes and noble keyboard the best (I am stock 1.1 autonootered) so if I actually attempt any of this it will be on the Barnes and Noble keyboard

Yep, I agree. That's one of the first changes I made switching back to the B&N keyboard.
Are you saying the B&N source isn't available, hence the decompile option?
We need to know how to edit the app short cuts that appear on the home screen. I use apktool. Is there a specific way to edit what icons/short cuts appear on the home screen and their position? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Default screen layout may be adjusted when building a ROM by editing the default.xml file in /system/customize/MNS/ and /system/customize/CID/.
Here you configure all of the first boot settings:
What is on each screeen, apps and widgets.
Default browser home page.
Shortcuts in the browser.
News Reader Settings.
Mail app settings.
Boot and shutdown sounds and animations location.
Many, many things are here. Read it carefully and tweak slowly till it makes sense.

ah, that's the setting in the github. Makes sense now. By changing the setting in the github, after the rom is compiled it will have the changed setting in it. Thanks

Sorry for not explaining
default_workspace.xml controls what appears when adw is loaded for the first time. I'm not sure how to do this after compiling but if you want to make changes before look at that file. It's in CyanogenMod's source code.

Hey all,
Does anyone know whether or not the traditional function keys (F1 - F12) can be supported on the keyboard dock?
What initially brought this up for me was that I'm playing around with a terminal emulator that looks to be a port from the desktop version and some of the commands use the standard Fn keys which don't appear to be present on the keyboard dock. More generally though, with amazing new environments like Ubuntu for Android on the horizon the traditional function keys are going to become more of a requested standard feature on the keyboard dock in order to support programs/apps that rely on them.
If anyone has any suggestions or feedback on this it would be really appreciated
Cheers!

it can be, but do apps even support it, as for the commands on Fn keys that may be a little bit harder, as the mapping for Fn is a little funny

In ubuntu there is a settings menu that allows you to change most of the shortcuts that require the FN key
Hackers k3yboard on the market has f keys i think. And cursor keys..

Do apps even support it? No not generally for Android, however, lets say for argument's sake that TFP is running Ubuntu for Android. It wouldn't be unreasonable to suppose that in that environment you would have a desktop package installed that ran in Ubuntu running on your TFP. In this case, that desktop application may have support for the F1-F12 keys (think of your favorite developer's IDE for example). In this scenario, the current layout and key-mapping of the TFP dock isn't supportive.

Sorry for not being clear, I'm interested in extending the capabilities of the TFP keyboard dock so that it could be used instead of resorting to a soft keyboard.

I don't believe that helps with app specific Fn button mappings

ubuntu looks at the keymap in terms of a number, with a kernel patch you can make it report the number associated with F1-12, in fact this patch is in place in my upcoming native ubuntu for tfp

Really looking forward to this! Even following you on Twitter so I don't miss an announcement
It's the sole reason I bought my Prime.
You can map any of the keys you'd like via /system/usr/keylayout/asusdec.kl
Find a key you want to change, and make its assignment F1 (or whatever Fkey you need). Save, reboot.
Whether or not that keysym gets passed through to your app depends on the app itself.

Ya that would work at the cost of losing an existing key due to the re-map. Rather than lose key functionality I think that lilstevie's response above sounds like the way to go. That way the keyboard dock would be able to report a key combination such as Fn + 1 = F1 so that the appropriate key code could be generated and handled. Still though, it leaves us waiting for a baked (or as lilstevie puts it - a patched) kernel with supporting drivers.

Hi i want to ask if someone in the forum could modifie the app TouchOSC and add the possibility to have customizable layout and labels also in Android and not only in iOS!!
TouchOSC's site is: http://hexler.net/software/touchosc-android
The app is also in Google Play and it's free and it isn't warez!!
There are a lot of people asking for it, please devs help us!!
Mod Edit: Moved to Q&A
TouchOSC Layout "work-around"
Hi there, i have posted in another thread a modified TouchOSC.apk with LiveControl layout replacing Mix16, weather you use this or not is up to you but i'm just letting you know that there is a work-around method talked about (not explained) in the same thread although for compatibility reasons layouts need to be removed so that feature won't be there, sorry
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25449635#post25449635
Thanks solfire77,i've already read that thread and i have modified the file...but it's very complex and annoying!! And labels don't work on that version!!!
We hope in an update by hexler
TouchOSC REMIX Deck C for Android
hi guys, i have managed to make a layout for my Acer Iconia A501/A500.
the layout has FX control for all Slots and volume control for all slots, FX x/y pad and needs to work with Bome's Midi Translator Pro.
i forgot to bring it with me to work to upload.
i will make a zip package with the apk and the Bome's Midi Translator Pro settings and traktor pro's TSI file.
with my layout you can change the sample pages and trigger all 16x slots for all pages with traktor running full screen. and the rest for the controls are all MIDI direct with traktor.
let me know if you would like to try it out?
