Slion

I tried and it didn't work. Remapping scan codes also didn't work.

Good call. It's 172 actually.

Sadly it does not work. Whatever is sending those is bypassing the Key Mapping framework somehow and thus not taking into account overrides from KCM. I'll give it another try later but it those look like we are out of luck on that one.

I doubt that's doable, at least not without rooting.

Of course, using those 468 and 469 scancode it should do the trick. I'll try it ASAP.

Of course, that's the keycode it is mapped to defining its functionality. However I need the hardware scancode in order to override that functionality.

Does someone know the scan code for that FxTec key?

Sure, I was just trying to figure out a way to implement that without having to wait for OTA update. I guess I'll just wait until FxTec enables it. Thanks for the video, I just installed a magnet in my case. Have to wait for FxTec now 🙂

I tried that too using a custom keyboard layout, no joy with the stock launcher. Maybe other launchers can handle that.

Though I wonder how reliable that method will be depending on where you live on the planet.

I'm not sure how to access the Hall sensors directly but looking at how the magnetic field sensor reacts to opening and closing my Snakehive case it sounds like it should be fairly easy to tell if the case is closed.

I'm considering remapping the FxTec key to a modifier so that it could be used with Key Mapper to launch any application. Using hard coded key combinations to launch default applications like what was done with Fn + Space to launch web browser could be great too.

I'm thinking of jumping in the AnySoftKeyboard code base to had that feature there too.

Those could easily be integrated back in FinQwerty.

My main problem with FinQwerty was that you need to use one modifier to access the yellow prints on some keys and another to access the same yellow prints on other keys. That somehow screwed with my brains 😁

They need to make this work like the power button. That would be awesome.

Mostly. I'm thinking the difference is only with hidden characters, the ones you access through Fn or shift modifiers. Fx Qwerty emphasis is on WYSIWYG so all printed characters are accessed as with stock layout. I could add US QWERTY, though if you don't usually use hidden characters it won't make any difference.

I just published what's basically a modified variant of FinQwerty called Fx Qwerty with focus on Pro1 usability.

Here are some useful info about spell checker on Android: https://android.stackexchange.com/a/60991/315377 Does anyone have spell checker working on Pro1?

Android auto works just fine here but my car setup is much simplier than yours. Mostly just connecting to car audio output over bluetooth.

Spell checker is actually an android global service much like virtual keyboard or launcher. By default it is set to Google Spell Checker. I tried using another service but same result: empty popup. Looks very much like a Pro1 issue cause I could not find anything like that online. Would be nice to get FxTec to investigate.

Made a mod for FinQwerty US international:

New version same as above plus: Alt + Space: brings up android character picker dialog which is rather useless as it is Fn + Space: launch default browser Shift + Space: launch search application Fn + Tab: Opens up app switcher Sym: Launches google assistant It looks like for whatever reason the sym modifier is really not working as a normal modifier. Same with meta_left which is now mapped to Sym but in fact just launches google assistant, go figure. finqwerty-debug.apk

Attached is a modified version of FinQwerty adding two new US international layouts for Qwerty keyboards. They are prefixed "Alpha Slion" so that they show on top of that long list of layouts. They are more WYSIWYG than the original layouts from FinQwerty cause they use the Fn key to actually output keys yellow prints instead of the Alt key. Sym key is left as Sym modifier. Alt+Left: back Alt+Right: forward Alt+Down: Power (lock or wakeup) Alt+Up: F6 (which turns the keyboard backlight on somehow) Alt+ 1 to = : F1 to F12 The original FinQwerty US international QWERTY la

I'm a Symbian fan, having worked for them in London in 2002, but calling any Symbian phone more functional than Pro1 is a bit of an overstatement 😁🤣 just a bit.
