[Q] Remap bluetooth keyboard keys

I have the zaggfolio case and keyboard. I was wondering is there anyway to edit the functions of the keyboard. For example: change the ctrl key to a shortcut for my browser or if i long press the home but recents will show. thanks
Bumping you because I want to do the same thing for the opposite reason: My keyboard Esc key is interpreted as a local 'Back' press, and Ctrl goes I don't know where. I want it to stop modifying these keys and send them through ConnectBot instead.

[Q]Disable Hardware buttons while using software keyboard?

I have to use my phone at work and sometimes it is really unhandy, espacially in landscape mode, to write a message (using SwiftKey). The problem there is that I come in touch of the menu or back button, in fact that I have to "hold it in unnormal postions", to keep it short.
Is there a way to create a script or anything else, to disable the hardware buttons (menu, back) while using the software keyboard and then to activate them again, after fading out of the software keyboard?

[Q] Modify keylayout file just change keycode not completely disable buttons?

I'd like to use navibar softkeys and decide to disable capacitive buttons.
After modifying general.kl, the feature of capacitive buttons are off.
But I noticed though these buttons' keycode all are 0 but still effect some apps when I press them,
e.g., if I press these buttons when I scroll in the launcher drawer, it will stop scrolling.
Is there a way to disable capacitive buttons completely not just make their keycode become 0?

Allways on Navigation Bar? Request!

Is there anyway I can have the navigation bar on all the time? Including fullscreen videos? I hate having to click back on the camera (and other apps) for the navbar to appear when I can just press home if the navbar was always on. Is there anyway to do this through Xposed orany other method?
The soft keys?
If you're talking about the soft keys then there are 2 ways for them to pop up on the screen.
1. Tap the screen (this only works on certain apps)
2. Swipe - if you're in landscape mode then swipe the right edge inwards the soft keys will appear.
If you're in Portrait then swipe up from the bottom edge and the soft keys will appear.
But if you're talking about the Navigation bar then you need to swipe Downward no matter if you're in Landscape or Portrait..

I know how to make them appear, I'm asking if there's a way to make them stay there all the time like physical keys. Off topic is there also a way to remove the delay response of holding the power button for the power options to appear?

Sorry I can't give you firm answers because my phone is with LG for repair, but I do recall seeing in settings options for when the buttons appear and disappear. It allowed you to set it on a per-app basis.
As for the delay response for the power button, your best bet would be to see if there is an Xposed plugin. To use Xposed you'll need to root the phone.
When I get my phone back I can give you more specifics, but LG has the worst warranty repair service and has yet to fix the issue after sending it to them four times.
You at JBLM? Thanks for your service!

Thanks for your reply :angel: but I've looked at everything possibly related to power button delay or the navigation bar (soft keys) on Xposed before posting here and still nothing. I did find a screenshot delay remover in Xposed and works great. Finding the power button is not as important as the soft keys because I can just use Rom Toolbox's rebooter and power/reboot/recovery etc... The soft keys thing on the other hand I would like to have because I hate having to pull up for them to make them appear... Iv'e looked at the settings you mention for showing/not showing per app but every app is not listed, its just some of the apps on your phone (apps that I would like to have the soft keys always on are mostly video apps which are not listed on this settings.) I', almost used to it by now, I just rather have the keys always on or a phone with actual physical keys.
Yes I live in JBLM . I'm a dog handler in the Army.

Navigation gestures and bottom part of keyboard

Hi guys,
I notice that when I have the new navigation gestures (instead of the classic 3 buttons) the bottom part of swiftkey where the key "enter" is or any other button in the vicinity (like netflix the settings button) can't be touched easily.
I have to move my finger just a bit off to make it happen. Is it just me or everybody has the same issue?
Yes, that's right. As a workaround, I enabled the directional keys (on SwiftKey) below the keyboard to raise it up slightly. Works quite well.. Hope that helps.
