I have SK17i, running Ultimate HD ROM + Kappa Kernel, and my problem is that keyboard layout is incorrect in ConnectBot, Irssi ConnectBot, VX Connect bot or any other SSH-terminal. Hardware keyboard is always in english layout, and that's annoying, since I'm using IRC a lot, and now I have to pick Ä & Ö from behind SYM-button, and some characters are in different button.. I have edited keyprint.xml, and in all other apps keyboard layout is correct (SE-FI), but not in SSH.
Any ideas what is causing this?
With stock ROM, SE-FI layout works well in ConnectBot also. I have tried a few custom ROMs, and this problem has been in them all.
Any ideas? Is ConnectBot using some other keyprint somewhere?

Probably you need to set proper encoding in ConnectBot and locales on ssh machine. To get your wanted keys (if they're binded under some other) you can just click on that input box icon on right bottom corner.

Encoding is set to UTF-8, that shouldn't be the problem. Gotta examine those locales in remote end.
Thanks for that input box -tip, tho.

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?
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.

I have czech language keyboard layout with 4 rows (1 row is with special characters instead of numbers) so will a bluetooth keyboard work according to chosen SW keyboard layout or is it already set as any bluetooth keyboard is?
Thanks
Answer:
so....have just bought usb host and wireless Logitech MK710 CZ (keyb.+mouse 3 years battery life) works perfect with czech special letters!
So it probably depends on the keyboard. So dont need to invest in a new keyboard
So Android has no competitors ....again
bump...im also interested in this
I have tried it with a USB keyboard but I guess it will be the same on the Bluetooth one. It depends what layout is selected on the Tab - if it is Czech then you will write with this layout. This however works only using Samsung's keyboard or Go Keyboard. When I have selected Swype - the typing is with US layout, no matter which layout was chosen.
Please, could you try Hackers keyboard and set czech language??
Thank you!

Doesn't work, sorry. The top row of the keyboard is typing numbers instead of accented characters.
So,
is there any way to type these characters? Perhaps changing smthin' in the system?
I'm afraid that a keyboard itself must be built for an appropriate language

No, this is software issue. Is there a Czech layout for Go Keyboard?
Unfortunately it doesn't have
So is it an android software issue or a keyboard software issue?
It is an issue with the layout, which is in the tablet. I would try searching for a keyboard for the tablet where you can make your layout - map keys to characters. This way you can customize your keyboard as you wish.

I bought the General Keys Bluetooth keyboard (http://www.amazon.de/GeneralKeys-Bluetooth-Mini-Tastatur-iPad-andere-Bluetooth-Geräte/dp/B004HKQ8V4) But it has only the english Layout on my HTC Flyer.
How can i change it?
Are you rooted? If so you might be able to edit "/system/usr/keychars/", other than that I'm not sure. If you install a different language for your keyboard does it switch the character set?

I am not rooted but i'm not afraid of doing if it will make the keyboard work But i have no idea how to change the "keychars" also if I'd be rooted, you might have to explain that to me
I already used the App External Keyboard (test version) but the only thing that happened was that now some keys (e.g. "s" or "w") start apps and i can't even write with the english layout anymore

There is been a change in the new API that broke a small part of the keyboard. I fixed it in the new version.
Well, I tested it now,
And it works mostly, I already forgot how actually T9 was fast, for a smartwatch it makes more sense than qwerty I think...
But there's 1 bug I guess, when something is typed already, the Globe icon supposed to turn into a delete icon and act like it, but what happens is that the delete works but it stays as a globe icon.
Another bug is (I think it happens now on English as well) the button to switch to numbers/symbols, it works but the actual view stays on the letters.
And on Hebrew, there are no big or small letters, so the button where it supposed to switch it, acts as inputting of something that I'm not sure what it is lol.
Another feature request (maybe it's not possible) add a microphone button for speach to text for the current language (I'm still hoping to be able to dictate on Hebrew to the watch)
But overall, it works great!! I can't even tell you how happy I am for this! thank you!!!
