Yep, you can use ruKeyboard or Russian Keyboard which allows to change keyboard layout with Ctrl+space or any other shortcut and bind all extra keys to usefull functions.

alt + spacebar gives me nothing. Which is strange I think.

[Q] Replace Scandinavian layout with the original layout?

So when I bought my Desire Z I didn't realize that it had the Scandinavian keyboard layout. Is there a way to replace the layout with the original layout?

Does going into your language & keyboard settings and changing to the language you prefer not fix it?

It does however, the 5 custom keys are still the same.
I wish to replace the 5 keys with the original keys, such as the right FN, customizable keys, etc.
tried searching the forums, but the only thing I can find is buttonremapper. It can remap buttons but not to different letters
So its a DZ made for Scandinavian carriers. You could always root and flash a custom HTC Sense 2.3.4 ROM made for English speakers.
oh i did flash it. Im using MIUI ROM right now.
The board is in english. problem is there are 5 keys that I dont need.
I want to remap these keys Æ Å to something else.

Which one exactly? Maybe this one: samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/ECR-K14AWEGSTA
If that's the case, I have one and it works, except some shortcut keys like brightness up/down, home, app drawer, and recent apps.

Oh yeah, in general, it works fine.
Just for the record, there's something else that doesn't work at the moment with ICS, switching the input language of the keyboard, only english.

I'm using ICS and a Logitec Keyboard and Mouse. Everything is working great. No problems. I'm sorry, didn't read the questions right. I'm not using USB Keyboard, I'm using a Bluetooth Keyboard with ICS
i'm using official bluetooth keyboard case from samsung and it does work except:
-can't change language (to russian in my case)
-mute button
-play\prev track\next track
-app drawer button
-options button
-multitasking button
-brightness up\down
-hide keyboard button
-voice search button
Does anyone know a fix for that?
Thanks in advance

Yeh this is a really important concern. The keyboard loses so much value if a good portion of its buttons dont work and it wasnt a cheap keyboard... There must be some app somewhere for rebinding key inputs from bluetooth keyboards...
couldn't find it on the market and forum. If you see any, please, drop a link here

How does the "Lang" button work? Do you need to hold it down to access the Russian characters?
no, it is toggled (like caps)
i have the same problem with the same keys, my keyboard is a samsung and white color, with the same order that shows in the images (am still not allowed to post outside links)
does you guys think that one app can solve this?

I'm not sure about the "Lang" key. That's new to me and does not exist the keyboards that I am used to. It may need Samsungs own input method to work.
I might give it a try though. In a worst case scenario I guess it might be possible to use the "Lang" key as "Alt Gr" to access the Russian characters. Not an ideal solution but better than nothing I guess.
Install Keytest.apk from here and note down all the scancodes for the keys in the top and the bottom row.
(Also if any qwertz (German) or azerty (french) users read this I am also looking for the scancode for "#" (German keyboard) and "*" (French keyboard) for Samsung keyboard dock or bluetooth keyboards. Seems Samsung using different codes for the extra key on 102-key layouts than a standard PC keyboard does.)

Try my new app. I just added Russian layout to it for the russian layout I put the complete US layout on ALT and ALT+SHIFT positions. You can also configure one of the function keys to turn remapping on and off but I see now that the samsung keyboard does not have function keys.
Try the demo version and if it works, then using the debugging menu to read the scancode for the "Lang" button and hopefully I can add language switching support also for that key.

Hebrew is added now but you propably know that allready. "Alt+Shift" is not a good option because Alt+Shift+Key is used in some layouts to store 4 different symbols on the same key.

[Q] [Q/A][PRO]CM9.0.0-RC2 and HW keyboard problem

Good day!
I've flashed my MK16i with CM9 9.0.0-RC2 a couple of days ago. I'm really impressed with system speed and performance over stock SE ICS ROM (.587), but one thing is really disappointing me. I'm using qwerty/cyrillic layout of my keyboard and I have a problem with HW keyboard "Fn" key (blue square). When keyboard language is set to Russian all hw keys are working perfectly displaying correct symbols with or without Fn key pressed. When I switch language to English Fn key fails to operate. I can't type any of auxiliary symbols (brackets, dashes and numbers). All other keys work perfectly displaying what they have to display.
Is there any workaround of this bug? It is quite bothering to switch language every time you need to type a number or a dash
Thanks in advance.
hey, i think you should ask this question in the developer forum or directly in the CM 9 thread

Tab S4 physical keyboard problem

Hey guys,
I bought this tablet yesterday along with the official case with keyboard. The keyboard has the Portuguese Layout, however everytime I press special characters such as "ç", Android show me completely different characters. I made sure that Portuguese is the default language for everything in Settings.
Did anyone have this problem? Is there any way I can remap the keyboard?
Thanks
If you want to change the language to Portuguese Br, or other go in Settings, Language and input, physical keyboard and change it from Portuguese to Brazilian.
You'll be able to use the keyboard by going on the Physical Keyboard settings and define the keyboard layout as English International. However, I still could not get the ' to work with c, a and e.
Hi guys,
Since I updated the tablet to Android 9, I'm no longer able to switch between keyboards when the physical keyboard is paired. Is anyone else facing this issue? In Dex mode, the issue is even worse, as none of the other keyboards I have installed in my system is available!
Update: If the option "keyboard on screen" in the keyboard menu is checked, I'm able to switch between them. One issue less. Still need to understand why Dex is no longer allowing other keyboards to run (they are stated as "unavailable" for Dex mode).
Were you ever able to resolve the issue? I just got my S4 and keyboard and this is driving me crazy

No problem in either mode as long as you set the keyboard layout correctly. For me it's Spanish because mine is a Spanish keyboard
