[Q] external keyboard: set custom modifier key - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I'm searching for a external keyboard for my android-stick. My big problem is those which fits my needs are in QWERTY-layout, but I'm from Germany and therefore would like to be able to type umlauts (ü, ö, ä, ß).
Because many of the keyboards designed for Android don't have ctrl or alt keys, my idea was to define a custom modifier key, like the space bar for example, so that when I press space+a it would result in ä.
Is this even possibe with Android?

Anyway to create NEW email/mssg using slideout keyboard?

I searched but couldn't find anything on this topic.
Besides the menu right soft key is there anyway to create a NEW email/mssg just by using a key or combination of keys on the slideout keyboard?
Seems strange to me that the slide out keyboard has everything to do messaging/emailing but u have to use a virtual key to create a new mssg?
Am I wrong in this?
well if there was a reg setting to changed when the keyboard was out then you could make a mortscript that would check and if so then run a short cut to launch text message

keyboard key codes

Hi
i was wondering if anyone knows all the keyboard key codes to map the S740 keyboard using the eT9.Rose.0***.kmap.txt file
i find it very useful to change certain keys and i was also looking for, if possible, which key code is used to change the accent of the previous typed letter (like the aü key on the xperia x1) so i can easily use accented letters, áàãâ etc, without having to go to sym menu or map them on different keys.
thanks
AE Keymap
Search for the program named AE Keymap and install it, it's a utility for changing keymaps with a scanner application on the side so that you can read out the codes by pressing buttons.

[Q] How to switch keyboard language in phone mode

Hi,
I am new to android and i am a multi language user.
I installed several multi language keyboards but none of them fully changed the keyboard layouts i am looking for.
They all gave me the options to type diffrent language in regular text boxes but none of them allowed me to change the language of the keyboard in which i see when i press the "phone" button, the keyboard that pops up for quickly searching and dailing from the dialer application. the 12 key keyboard (with "abc" "def" ... on each key).
How is it possibale to change this keyboard to a diffrent language layout ?
Thanks !

Mapping softkeys to keyboard

Hey guys,
I have an mk808b htpc stick, and a wireless mini keyboard & mouse combo. Is there any app out there that will let me map physical keys to soft keys\shortcuts?
Meaning, my f1 key can be the home button, f2 the back button etc...and if i want to launch settings I can use f7.. I have done multiple searches, but I must be doing it wrong, because all I find is talk about modifying IME keyboard for custom icons etc.
Thanks,

you can use left Ctrl + Alt + Space bar and right Ctrl + Alt + Space bar to toggle between input languages,
as well as you can go to
Settings -> System -> Language and Input -> More input methods settings -> Physical Keyboard -> and chose the language for the keyboard.
