I know there have been many posts on similar subjects and I have tried asking the question in those but have got no answers so I am creating my own post seeking help.
I am trying to map the Backspace key on the 16 key Dual keyboard to Backspace (single press) and OK/Close (double press) and am having mixed success.
No button utilities I have found can map the keyboard keys so I have found AE Button Plus can 'learn' the key (0008) and so multifunctions can be assigned to it.
OK/Close works fine. For backspace I have created a Mortscript with 'SendBackspace' in it to simulate the backspace press but this doesn't seem to work. i have isolated the problem to the mortscript command not working. I am currently doing SendLeft and then SendDelete which does the same as the backspace except it doesn't work as a 'Back' button in Opera Mini.
Can anyone suggest any resolution?
Did you managed to find solution to your problem? I'm strugling with the same.
I used Vijay Keys to generate a signal for backspace key. But as soon as I assign the backspace key to AE button plus, backspace's original function is stolen.
I just got my bluetooth keyboard with built in mouse today and got it to connect. The mouse doesn't work but the keyboard does. Sadly there is no menu or back button on the keyboard. Escape won't work to go back and I would like to use control for menu if possible. Also I can use the FN key for special characters but not to change volume. My question is does anyone know how to remap these buttons?
Anyone? 10char
anyone? just want to set esc as back, ctrl as menu and something as search
Ok so keys work on CM 6.1. No menu button though but built in mouse works along with FN/VOL keys.
Ok ive remapped menu to APP_SWITCH and now recent apps appear when i press menu. But how do i force the overflow menu (three dots) to appear? I know the samsung apps are capable because if you add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to build.prop it shows the navigation bar and all app have a menu in them. But how can i make the menu appear without forcing the navigation bar?
I think i read something about changing "hasPermanentMenuKey" to return as false so that the system automatically display the overflow menus but im not sure how to do that or if thats even correct.
In summary: I want menus to appear in apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I remap the menu key to APP_SWITCH too, anyhow, without showing the emulated home/cancel button on screen via qemu.hw.mainkeys=0, the force overflow action menu button just do not appear. If able to trick the app to alway show the action menu button, the remap key may work good, just some app like Whatapps / Facebook / Twitter may not able to access the menu.
Also, looking at keylayout folder, the file Vendor_04e8_Product_7021.kl contain list per below, change of it do have any impact? I tested but it acted weird and no conclusion on this. I did tried to put the Key 704 from RECENTAPPS -> APPLICATION and it launch the voice search when long pressing home button.
Key 704 RECENTAPPS
Key 705 APPLICATION
Key 706 SIP_ON_OFF
Key 707 VOICESEARCH
Key 708 QPANEL_ON_OFF
Any key# to remap the long press of capacitive Menu key to other function? Or long pressing feature is control by software only??

Do you know by any chance how do you do this for kindle fire hd 7 7.3.1 I want to disable nav bar by using qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 but this will get rid of the action bar app Manu as well. This wouldn't be a problem but the LMT launcher app menu button won't work unless the action bar app menu is there. Please help
Is there a way to disable the keyboard key popup?
I dont know the actual name, but when you press a key on the keyboard, there is a large view on what you pressed.
Thanks.
I have a mini bluetooth keyboard and some commands require the menu button??
so far there is no menu button on this keyboard and the reference documents say that this is bound to the context menu button on windows keyboard layouts.... but this layout doesent have the context menu button so is there a combination of keystrokes that can emulate this or a way to remap??
My phone is not rooted so please do not post fixes that require me to do this as the unit is still in warrenty
