Not long had the tf201 dock and have discovered that two keys are transposed.
Shift-2 should give [email protected] but gives inverted comma-"
Shift-apostrophe should give inverted comma-" but gives [email protected]
After a little reading I have downloaded notepad++ (win7) and transferred a few .kcm files across from system/user/keychars/ to my laptop for editing.
asusdec.kl and asusdec.kcm appear to be mapped correctly.
Any ideas where else I should be looking, maybe I'm completely offtrack?
US and UK keyboards have the locations for those 2 keys swapped. You're not using the right keyboard locale.

I bought a Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard 6000 today from bestbuy to use with both my tablet and my computer. It works great with my tablet (am using it now) However I would like to remap some keys so it would add some extra functionally to it. Anyone have any idea how to do this, or come across something I have failed to see?

Keys are mapped in files in /system/usr/keylayout
it's not so straightforward and depends on what vendor ID the device presents. If it matches an installed key map, ok, but if not then it may get either the generic map or the qwerty map. The Flyer already has maps for logitech , Sony, Apple and Motorola bluetooth keyboards, but not MS. you might start by searching for a MS keymap file.
WARNING< backup your files / ROM before you modify any key map files in your system.
Good luck

looks very promising! thanks for the link, I will try it out.
Very happy so far with my Transformer Prime keyboard dock, but I've searched high and low for an app with this feature and had no luck. I just want any note-taking or word processing app that supports indented bullet points or numbering with multiple levels of indentation. Preferably it would work with the tab key. Polaris Office works with the tab key but not with bullets; Evernote and Springpad didn't work, and neither did the built-in Asus app. Surely someone else uses this feature for taking class notes? Any suggestions? It seems like such a simple thing...
Maybe try a simplenote client? (I use Flicknote, pending rolling my own). Or some other system that uses a syntax like markdown ir restructured text for it?

+1 I'd love to find an app with this capability. I was so excited to use my TP for class and note taking, but so far it's been nothing but a hassle.

I believe it's possible with QuickOffice HD, using the indent key plus the buttons setting.
It's not automatic though.

Just tested with OfficeSuite Pro. Seems to work just fine with the TFP and the tab key; no settings needed changing. It does only support 9 levels of indentation though. See screenshot.

Thanks so much! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Yup just tried office suite pro before i saw this it works great this is exactly what I wanted for classes. This is sort of unrelated but does anyone know of a pdf reader app that lets takes your compiled notes/highlights and turns it into a document? I use repligo and it works great but I would love if the notes I take could be saved as a doc
Recently I have gotten a USB keyboard for my tablet, but I'm having some problems trying to remap some of the "useless" keys (F1, F2,...) to something usefull like home and multitasking.
I have read on this a bit, but haven't managed to find anything.
I have done the terminal command to get my keyboard's vendor and product IDs, but in the /system/usr/keylayout there is no such file, but the keyboard (acording to an app called "Key test") uses different keycodes in comparison to the ones found in generic.kl and qwerty.kl.
I even tried editing both of those, but still nothing.
Any help?
Bump!

Trying to help my sister troubleshoot this issue.
When she presses shift and the period to get a colon she gets a > instead. I've reset the data for the keyboard. Nothing. Reboot, nothing.

Been down the rabbit hole with this as I had picked up a cheap BT keyboard for an Apple device. You either have to find an app or otherwise dive into the Linux and Android keyboard definitions, some of this may be in ROM settings, but possibly even at the filesystem level such as creating a mapping file, or basically just test all the keys to figure out how it sees it and tape or magic marker or something what they are. Sorry I don't have better news. Android also has some different mappings itself compared to regular Linux.
Hi!
I've recently unlocked/rooted/flashed my tf201 to KatKiss with grimlock. Loving it so far! I can finally use my Prime again. Cudos to the developers!
But I really would like to have an ESC button somehow mapped to the dock (e.g. VOL_UP + BACK, or something...). Missing it in some web-apps and Vim. I'm using Termux.
I've read about system/usr/keylayout -and some klc files, but I have like 10+ vendor files inside there, a generic and two qwerty files... So I'm a little confused WHAT/HOW to edit.
Btw, id like to map F1-10 keys aswell, but I couldnt find any good source of info about this.
The Terminal Emulator, installed from the beginnning with KatKiss, seemed to have some nice mapping exactly for this purpose, not sure if one could adapt that somehow to other apps aswell. Because: I'd like to use Termux instead the emulator.
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!
