Can we get a thread going for all the keyboard shortcuts that we know for using the prime? I've been using some word processing on polaris office but all I really know are:
Polaris Office:
Ctrl + C Copy
Ctrl + V Paste
Ctrl + X Cut
Ctrl + Z Undo
Fn + Right Arrow End of line
Fn + Left Arrow Beginning of line
Home Screen:
Alt + tab switch between programs
2 finger scroll - drag two fingers up and down
home screen switching - drag two fingers left and right in the home screen

The shorts from the TF101 should all be working. But have they added control+arrow keys to generic text entry areas yet?

Not surprised ctrl+y didn't work.....
It seems that I can also do alt + tab to switch between programs with the keyboard. For some reason, when I'm in the merriam-webster dictionary app, I am not able to alt tab.

awesome
We need to sticky this!
Updated with some gestures. Feel free to contribute more if u find em
In browser
Function+left (home) = Jump to top of screen
Funtion+right (end) = Jump to bottom of screen
Are there any finger gestures or mouse controls to do this?
thanks
thanks to all he contributors on this. I have clicked the relevant "thanks" boxes.
I have a bookmark to this page on my home screen. Very useful.
Excel Shortcut Needed
Does anyone know how to get to the second line of the same cell in excel (docs to go, polais, etc.) on a latop it is alt+enter...
is there a shortcut for "complete URL" shortcut
on computers: CTRL + ENTER = .com - in browsers
on TP: ?
This should be stickied in general or something. Very useful info.
Shift+Space toggles predictive typing (if you have that enabled on the keyboard). Works in browser, AndChat, and imo
is there a short cut to open apps? thought that would be a key on the kb, maybe im blind but dont see it.
So has anyone figured out a way to go to your applications using the keyboard? I see manage apps and a bunch of other shortcuts, but nothing to open applications. That is bizarre to me.
Any way to create custom shortcuts/keyboard commands?
I am using the Maxthon browser, but when I touch the web function key, it opens the stock browser. Anyone figured out to remap this?

At the home screen, start typing and the Google search function will come up and start searching your tablet. I know this is not opening the app drawer, but it is a start.

Thanks - that a good start.
Just got the keyboard dock for my transformer prime. This thing is slick, and the button design is really well done. The one thing that keeps bothering me is the apparent lack of task switching functionality. The Android has the button in the bottom left for quickly switching between tasks, and AFAIK with the keyboard, you still have to move the mouse and click on that icon to task switch. Is there a better way to do that, such as a hotkey shortcut that I'm missing. I'm hoping for something akin to alt-tab on windows, or a key that makes that task menu pop up.

Hey, don't be nasty now as I am an Ipswich supporter LOL
now if only asus would have alt-tab open up the standard ICS app switcher instead of this less useful windows 95 look-a-like...
man, i'm an idiot... i was the same, it can't be true that this simple function is left off. no, it's not, i'm just not using my brain. well, at least i can use google and xda to find answers

Nice list! but you forgot my favorite:

Search + M = Open Maps
A few more...
Search + A = Open Calculator
ALT + SPACE, = menu with special signs
ALT + Shift + TAB = Show recent apps window and cycle in reverse
Looks like I. will be using the stock browser more. Some of the shortcut keys only work with it, ie; ctrl+i to zoom in and ctrl+o to zoom out. Has anyone found how to get these to work in Chrome, Opera, or Dolphin?
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
Looking to remap my home key, and my menu and back soft keys on my s3. I've looked at editing scripts, and even Xposed modules for this and here is what I found.
I can remap my keys manually, but I cannot map them to open an application.
With Gravity Box Module, I can map the applications to launch on a double press or a long press.
Here is what I want to do with a single tap.
[MENU SOFT KEY] [HOME KEY] [BACK SOFT KEY]
Open Phone Open search Open Camera
Is there an xposed module for this?
Bump.

I've reset them in the touchkeys.kl file under keychars, but I cannot get CAMERA to map on the back button. I can get other actions too, but CAMERA Won't map. Here's my thread in the 747 section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705040
I'm doing a few tweaks on my phone, mainly not using the capacitive keys as menu and back, and using the home key as the app switcher, and using the nav bar for those three tasks. Here's what I've got so far.
I edited a few files under system/usr/keylayout
The Menu and Search key layouts were found under sec_touchkey.kl(Home was also found under this, but I had to also edit sec_keys.kl and sec_key.kl to get the home key as the app switcher)
Here's the default settings.
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 102 HOME
key 217 SEARCH
Here's what I set them to.
key 139 CALL VIRTUAL
key 158 CAMERA VIRTUAL
key 102 APP_SWITCH
key 217 SEARCH
Changing the roles of keys 139 and 102 worked, but Camera does not open the camera. I've tried assigning different roles to key 158 and they've worked except for the camera role. So I'm thinking CAMERA is not the correct event name to open the camera up....
http://developer.android.com/referen...KEYCODE_CAMERA
That's where I got the keyEvent listings from.
Rom is in my signature.

I'm a noob with Java but have a question that I cant seem to find the answer too.
How do I have multiple buttons, each with different numerical values that when clicked add to each other and results shown in the TextView without requiring the click of an equals button. I was going to try to copy the theory of the onclick from this calculator code but it didn't work because I either did it wrong or I am just too stupid!
For example:
Button 1 (2.40) + Button 2 (1.00) + Button 3 (3.20) = TextView (6.60)
or
Button 1 (2.40) + Button 2 (1.00) + Button 2 (1.00) + Button 3 (3.20) = TextView (7.60)
Etc, etc.
If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.
