[Q] Smart Keyboard - programmable buttons - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello everybody, I'm very new in Android but I wonder is there any keyboard with programmable buttons. Quite often I need to type the current date, time and such.
At the moment I'm using Smart Keyboard and really like it. It will be best if there is a way to add this button somehow...

[Q] Holding down menu button

Hi,
Is there anyway to customize it to launch an application simaler to how cyanagon settings allow you to launch a program by holding down home?
At the moment it lauches/closes the keyboard which in my opinion in pointless when you have the htc_ime keyboard. Would this be a difficult thing to change?

Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard + Trackpad

Hey all,
I recently acquired the Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard and Trackpad on Amazon, and it works wonderfully as an input device for my phone - an HTC One X running CyanogenMod 10.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006291K7A/ref=mp_s_a_1?pi=SL75&qid=1348778343&sr=8-1
However, not all of the features work exactly as billed, and the keyboard says they are exclusive to Motorola phones - such as two-finger scrolling on the trackpad, and pinch-to-zoom in images. Also, weirdly, the menu button on the keyboard doesn't work, and there's no way to turn off tap to click.
Despite this laundry list the keyboard is serving me quite well, but I'm still curious - is there any app or flashable zip that I can use to restore the missing features to this keyboard? Surely there's no inherent reason why these things are Motorola-exclusive.
Any comments? Thanks in advance guys.
I've just bought something similar, the motorola bluetooth keyboard and mouse set for motorola Atrix. My keyboard is like yours, apart for the trackpad of course. I use it on my HTC One S and works pretty well but, as you noticed too, the menu key (the 3 horizontal parallel lines key) doesn't work, nor the mute key for me.
At first I thought those keys were nothing but a combination of search button plus a letter (like the other shortcut keys) but I've tried with every combination to no avail...
Maybe the non working features are not natively supported by android and were specifically implemented by motorola in their software?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I dunno. I wonder if any developers of Motorola ROMs can help us out...

[Q] ¨Right click¨ with bluetooth keyboard?

Hello,
I am using rii bluetooth keyboard on my note 2 and I cannot find two functions, how to opet menu (the left soft key function) and also the Home button function. If someone can help, please do. Thank you.
not all keyboards support all android buttons(menu/home/back/search)
using external keyboard pro it is possible to remap an existing key to one of those functions.
Ok, thx, i will try that. I was hoping that there was some kind of a universal key combination, like win+m to minimize i.e. imitate the home button.

[Q] Spen button remapping/replicate

hello everyone,
Is there a way to remap or "recreate" the spen button click? i have tried remapping the buttons in system but everytime i change the spen button (sec_e-pen.kl) in keylayout it does not work.
In case you are wondering why the hell anyone would want this let me explain: i have the new leaked TW MI6 rom installed including the note 3 mod with aircommand. I also have a Smart dock (witch finally works AWESOME with the new firmware) that is connected to my tv with hdmi. now that i can draw my own windows for apps with air command i cant use my Spen because im behind my tv with a keyboard and mouse.
Any suggestions are welcome, im getting pretty desperate :\
thx in advance

[Q] FireOS keeps control of Function/ctrl/alt keys, need a way around that.

I've noticed that using aDosbox & gDosbox that the FireOS holds onto control of the keyboards Function keys, Ctrl & Alt keys. Which is pretty lame considering you need those keys for various Dos programs/games.
I need someway to get around this, any ideas? I'm thinking that using a different keyboard IME would be nice, but can't seem to find one.
thanks
