I suppose the alpha keyboard behavior is not further customizable, right? Sticky modifiers sound neat, but I don't like the idea of getting auto-capitalization. I may be overthinking it since it's been a while since my last keyboard phone, but I want a hardware keyboard to get as far away from auto-correct and friends as possible.

I recently found my old keymap files of the Droid 4. Those handle what characters are given out (i.e. o=o, alt+o = ö) and tell the keys how to behave.

A lot of information is found at the link(s) EskeRahn provided, thanks for that!

Here's the full keychar file, this is an alpha keyboard, so it should have a sticky behaviour for specific keys. However, I can't find proof in it. If somebody can provide me the keypad file(s) of the Pro 1, I could further look into it.
https://source.android.com/devices/input/key-character-map-files (top section) helps you locate the file (in this case omap4-keypad.kcm).

By the way, with such a keypad file, you should also be able to set specific output phrases (i.e. e-mail adresses) for a shortcut (i.e. ctrl+1 or ctrl+alt+1). Needs to be tested though.



With the Keylayout file (omap4-keypad.kl), you can change the output of keys and i.e. change the ctrl to alt if you wish to. I'll not post it here since it doesn't have any useful information about this topic.

Any way to get sticky shift?

By sticky shift I mean, on  physical keyboard, press shift>take finger off shift>press a letter and you get the capital version of that letter and if you continue typing the other letters are lowercase (instead of having to press shift and that letter at the same time). Sticky fn would also be great.

I didn't find a solution on the forum and this would greatly improve speed and comfort since the keyboard is wide and you have to perform acrobatics for uppercase A,Q,Z or any letters on the left side (also, I am used to this function from my Priv 🙂 ).

I have the same question under stock android. I have used cyanoged couple of years ago with my droids and got used to this typing.

I remember Slion saying "it is not possible to integrate sticky shift in stock android"??? I might have misunderstood.

Would be good to clarify!
