this application has assigned a shortcut command on certain key like
ctrl , alt or esc .
for example to close the program press ctr A. and there is no display x on the top right of the program which be used to close the program .
As hima is a touch screen pda, are there any application which can help ?

I'm wondering if it is possible to patch the kernel to let we use buttons combinations, for example:
- menu + vol_up = media player next song
OK, I am planning to buy the keyboard at Walmart. According to one user, "I paired it with my Samsung Galaxy S2 (Sprint) and it works just fine," which is the answer to the Android support. At least version 3.x+ should work. I'm on DextersJB ROM v1.8. Um... I also saw a picture of the Black version that has windows key and PC keys. But since I'm planning to buy the Apple version, I'm really concerned about the apple keys. Also, since my previous keyboard runs on batteries, It does have a Lithium Ion battery, and charges through microUSB like other phones, so I could use another USB Plug to charge it, so no need for buying cheap batteries!
Here is the difference:
It has Control Key, Alt/Option Key, and Command Key. Those do not work.
Has no num lock key
And, instead of insert, delete, print screen, it's delete, print screen, and then insert.
But hey, everybody knows that Enter is Return key. Everything else is the same layout. So... here are the questions.
- Does it work for CM10 Android Jellybean 4.1.1 Custom ROMs?
- How can I pair it? Can I pair it normally?
Apple Keys? Try This!
First, enable Bluetooth, and pair your keyboard. Then, Download and Install the External Keyboard Helper or External Keyboard Helper Pro.
Go to Advanced Settings -> Customize Keyboard Mappings.
Click either Custom 1 or Custom 2.
Then add new mapping.
Map the keys by pressing the button. Click the scancode text box and press a button. Then check keycode and choose what key that you will assign. Here's what I assigned if I'm planning to buy the iHome Keyboard. I made two layouts, Universal (Windows) Keyboard, and Apple Keyboard.
Windows Layout
F1 -> F1 Key
F2 -> F2 Key
F3 -> F3 Key
F4 -> F4 Key
F5 -> F5 Key
F6 -> F6 Key
F7 -> F7 Key
F8 -> F8 Key
F9 -> F9 Key
F10 -> F10 Key
F11 -> F11 Key
F12 -> F12 Key
====================
fn Key -> Function Modifier
Control Key -> Left Control
Left Option Key -> Menu In Windows 8 RT, it's the Windows Screen, In older versions, it's Start Menu.
Left Command (Meta) Key -> Left Alt modifier
Right Command (Meta) Key -> Menu
Right Option Key -> Right Control
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Apple Layout
F1 -> F1 Key
F2 -> F2 Key
F3 -> F3 Key
F4 -> F4 Key
F5 -> F5 Key
F6 -> F6 Key
F7 -> Play Previous Media
F8 -> Play/Pause Media
F9 -> Play Next Media
F10 -> Volume Mute, or Mute
F11 -> Volume Down
F12 -> Volume Up
====================
fn Key -> Function Modifier
Control Key -> Menu
Left Option Key -> Left Alt modifier
Left Command (Meta) Key -> Left Control
Right Command (Meta) Key -> Right Control
Right Option Key -> Right Alt modifier
Click to expand...

Here are the rest of the non-alphanumeric keys and it will suit both layouts.
Other Keys For Both Layouts
Esc -> Escape
Delete -> Forward Delete
Prt Sc -> System Request / Print Screen
Insert -> Insert
"Screen" -> You can map any button you want. I choose Notification.
Tab -> Tab
Backspace (Left Arrow Key next to Home) -> Backspace
Home -> Home
Enter Return Key -> Enter
Left Shift -> Left Shift
Right Shift -> Right Shift
Click to expand...
