keymap, menu key

[Roman Vik]

If there's no "windows menu" key on keyboard (notebook keyboard DON'T
usually have these keys)
you're screwed.. NO MENU button

[Arobase40]

As far as I know there are only 2 types of devices without a Windows
key on the keyboard : Apple computers or real Tablet (without
keyboard) ! ;)

Even with an Archos 9 tablet, you can plug a standard keyboard.

Unless you're using some "over age" or really specific devices, such
as Palm LifeDrive (I have one) or the like... ^^

Otherwise if you look better in the older threads, some persons and I
mentionned about an issue.

Off-topic... but where in the world did you find the keymaping file?
How did you ever know (other than trial and error) that
WinKey=>MenuKey

My trial and error for Andy-x86-2.2 is:

x86 => Android Action
================
left-mouse-btn => android-tap
right-mouse-btn => android-BACK
mid-mouse-btn => android-MENU
kbd-HOME => android-HOME
kbd-END => android-power-btn
kbd-ESC => android-BACK
kbd-windowKey => android-MENU

Is there perhaps a doc listing all the mappings, and possibly how to
change them? What I'm interested in in the android-HOME-held action
that pops up recent applications. Haven't figured out how to do that
(kbd-HOME repeats too fast).

yes, home button repeats too fast, sometimes it opens popup last used
programs, but it happeneds randomly..

DELL D620 is not too much old one..
It has only "flag" windows key, which is mapped to HOME button, not MENU

DELL has always been specific to me... ;)

Sorry, wrong movement.

It was late and I didn't catch the last word "windows MENU"...

Then the anwswer is in the second part of my first message...

And the response is not so old !

These are bothersome. I frequently use home & end during browser
navigation, or text input. I vote for

kbd-F1 => android-HOME
kbd-F2 => android-MENU

Found it, build/target/board/generic_x86/keymaps/qwerty.kl
and on a running machine, /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl

http://www.kandroid.org/android_pdk/keymaps_keyboard_input.html

I still haven't been able to reclaim my home and end keys. Seems
android doesn't recognize END as a keycode, and HOME, is android-HOME.
At lease I can remove the poweroff function from the end key.

That'd be nice to have.
