spence fx serial 809 8 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 howwwww can i make the delete key also act as a backspace button and the current backspace button an overall back key? would also love to be able to take the left side control key and make it into a shift, but that is not major, the top right delete/backspace dilemma is pure insanity.

Craig 1,435 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I had a similar issue at first, kept hitting del instead of backspace. But I got used to that fairly quickly. Esc key is currently mapped to Android Back (not Esc) although this may change soon. That being said, you can probably do that with key-mapper: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2557-key-mapper-foss-app-to-bind-keys-buttons-to-other-keys-or-actions/?tab=comments#comment-37604 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had the same issue at first. I think it has to do with fact that 'backspace' on most keyboards is just above 'return', so that's where you expect it to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only if you have an ISO style enter key, being used to US qwerty layout, the Pro1's layout makes sense in this regard to me. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

True, I usually work AZERTY keyboards 😁 Hope they will make one, one day. Edited January 28, 2020 by Slion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spence fx serial 809 8 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 i used the above key mapping setup, my life is changed now, soooooo much better coming off the droid 4 keyboard... now if i could just physically shift the qaz thru tgv over 1 key id be setttttt its a long stretch over there when typing fast, im down from 80plus words per minute to maybe 25-30 speed wise but trying to learn it in a hurry but its a long way over to the center Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You should try to get used to doing left letter shift with the right shift key and vice versa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad, cause Android does support right and left shift and control, good to know though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spence fx serial 809 8 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 the odd part on the shift is when hit it will still isolate and tell me right shift key and left shift key they are just linked still sooooo yepp oh well esc is home and backspace is now back and del is now my backspace, feeling more droid 4 like already minus the function key but that is the most minor of whines Quote Link to post Share on other sites
