New issue 459 by joeshmo...@gmail.com: No access to numeric symbols using
Asus Transformer keyboard dock
http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/issues/detail?id=459
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Hit either Shift key using the Asus Transformer TF101 Keyboard dock; The
small triangle appears at the top of the cursor denoting (I'm guessing...)
that the next character typed will be "shifted"
2. Press any of the numbered keys (0-9) to attempt to type a symbol
("!", "@", etc. but most importantly, "(" and ")")
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output: Symbol that corresponds to the numeric key pressed.
Actual output: A tilde from numbers 5 - 9, and nothing is displayed from
keys 1 - 4
What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu
-> About in the Host List)?
ConnectBot 1.7.1
What type of system are you trying to connect to?
Unix machine with a bash shell
If you are able to connect, what is the output of "echo $TERM", "uname -a",
and any other relevant information on the host?
echo $TERM: "screen"
uname -a: Linux...2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
Please provide any additional information below.
There was one point where the keys functioned completely normally with
proper shift functions. During this time period though, pressing
the "shift" key did not alter the cursor the way it had before, and "alt"
not did nothing (it was adding a small triangle on the bottom of the
cursor). I have not been able to recreate this though.

For me, this is also a "hot" issue - I see no alternative to ConnectBot, so
we better fix it here somehow.
It would be most appreciable to have a way to map Escape to somewhere, too,
since the TF keyboard has no escape key.

I tried the fork (had to uninstall the old ConnectBot due to the changed
signature on the package) and don't see any difference.
What was supposed to have changed? Shift-keys don't work any differently,
Control doesn't work, nor does Alt.
What's working?

Ah, ok. That makes sense.
Still the Alt-1 through Alt-0 and Alt-a aren't working (which would be
useful for irssi), but at least having Ctrl and the symbols above the
numbers work is a big step forward.
Thanks.

Comment #8 on issue 459 by kurt...@gmail.com: No access to numeric symbols
http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/issues/detail?id=459
The Alt-key will not work, because the alt on the transformer is not a
modifier key, it sends an KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ALT_RIGHT keycode, pressed
together with other keys sends nothing (only exception is with TAB).
However irssi works, try it with Search-0, Search-1, Search-a (Press
Search, release Search, press 0). From irssi documentation:
Meta-1, Meta-2, .. Meta-0 - Jump directly between windows 1-10
Clearly the easiest way is to use Meta-number keys. And what is the Meta
key? ESC key always works as Meta, but there's also easier ways. ALT could
work as Meta
On transformer the alt key is not a standard alt key, so you can use the
Meta key, which is ESC, and ESC is mapped to the Search key (just tried and
it works).

Thanks, Kurt! Your modified version of connectbot works great. Search makes
a perfect alternative meta key, since it is where alt is on most non-mac
keyboards, too.
Alt would make a great meta key too -- since it's there -- but this is
seriously exactly what I was looking for.

Ricky you are right, the alt would make a good meta key too, but because
the Search is the meta, the normal alt+enter combination works in joe :)

fwiw, enter doesn't work in emacs, either. I was using Control-M to get
the desired effect. Interesting to see that Alt+Enter is another way of
getting that effect.
Also, Control-X (another common emacs combination) and Control-U are both
overloaded. Control-X brings up a copy & paste dialog, and Control-U
brings up a URL Scan. They both do their other function as well, so this
is a little confusing. Would it be possible to move those functions onto a
less common combination, perhaps Fn-X and Fn-U ?
Looking forward to this patch being merged into the main branch.

Sorry for the ctrl-x shortcut, that is ctrl-c in the original version, but
on linux that is also confusing. Unfortunately the Fn key works only with
the up, down, left, right arrows, with other keys has no effect, the
program can not see it. If anybody has another idea for shortcut keys,
please, leave a comment.

Kurt, cool, that definitely makes the shift & control keys work on the
Transformer dock... however... :) It has some other issues I didn't have
before:
- It drops the connection when I rotate. (Settings of rotate = automatic)
It rotates, but as soon as I type a character, boom, drops it. (Claims the
host has dropped it, but it didn't; the u n-modded version was rock solid
before on rotates.)
- When undocked it doesn't display right when it connects. It shows the
last few lines of host output after I log in, but not the whole login
output. E.g. if my login stuff prints 50 lines of output, the top of the
screen starts with just the last 2-3. No way to scroll up to see them
either. (This is with menu bar set to hidden and scroll back at 900 lines.)
- The un-modded version showed Settings in the bottom status bar area, but
this version moves that to a new, extra top nav area. In docked/landscape
mode that takes a lot of space. If I hide the top area, then there's no
Settings icon (which otherwise would be in the bottom nav area; so you
can't get to Settings when undocked with top menu hidden).
Also want to +1 the idea of having the Transformer keyboard fixes in the
main branch.

dear tgwa, you are right, but on other keyboards for android phones you
usually type with two thumbs, on the transformer you can type like on a
notebook. So on an android you type ctrl-c like: press ctrl, release it,
press c. On the transformer you can press the two keys together. So the two
keyboard handling function is quite different, and the key mapping feature
would be not enough.

Thanks for this great improvement! It turned my Transformer from a nice
widget to a full-fledged terminal ;-) I hope it will get merged into main.
Only minor improvement I'd love is a nice mapping for ESC (this would make
working in vi a lot nicer). Back probably doesn't work (or isn't a good
idea). If possible Ctrl-Back might be a feasible approach.

But I didn't make (and don't have the time) any options to have a back
button. I could make it default though on TF101 and just back twice would
mean a real back.

This replaces back with 'esc', something like checking if it has been

item do the Activity.onBackPressed() call) needs to be done in order to be

I'm wondering if someone can create a WIKI page that documents the current
keyboard settings. The Comment #39 APK works great, with the search button
now being the escape key.
Previously the shift-1 would send the F1, but now it appropriately sends
an "!". This now begs the question of how one would send an F1 if that was
indeed what they needed.
Also, please add a comment when this change makes it to the regularly
distributed application in the Marketplace, so we can all switch back to
using that one (which gets automatic updates).
Thank you for all this work! This is making the transformer so much more
of a laptop replacement for me (better battery life, etc, etc).

The option was removed when the code started to check
Build.MODEL.equals("Transformer TF101"); We'll need to enhance this check
for things like the Transformer Prime and the slider.
I have my own version of this fork that also fixes the Enter key issue (as
mentioned in that bug) and am about to try out the back-as-esc change. It
would be nice to limit that remapping to just the back via the keyboard
(not the screen), but that may not be possible (I haven't checked yet). If
the lorantkurthy version doesn't get updated soon, I'll push out a git fork
that has the latest official changes + all these extra fixes.

version of the slider. The keyboard is somewhat different.

I made an attempt to support the TF101G in my fork. See
https://github.com/akaihola/connectbot/commit/4b70b92b186fb88c2b8eb5496dce79ce7f0496c0
Unfortunately I haven't yet had a chance to actually compile and test the
modification.

I'd suggest changing the 2 lines that end
with !Build.MODEL.equals("Transformer TF101") into:
... && !Build.MODEL.startsWith("Transformer ");
That way it matches anything that starts with "Transformer" and a space.
(akaihola: you missed on in src/org/connectbot/ConsoleActivity.java )
I'll attach a patch with this change in it.

This isn't specific to the Asus Transformer's keyboard dock. I encountered
the exact same problem on an Eee PC 1005PEB running Android-x86 3.2 RC2
(Honeycomb). Is there any way the model could be detected at run time, so
we don't wind up with ten million versions of Connectbot?

Is there an android way to check for a physical keyboard or better yet
keyboard layout? This problem is going to be more and more common as
tablets become popular.

Are there still issues with the Transformer? In my clone -
http://connectbot.vx.sk - I am providing a selectable menu option for
Xperia (mini) pro users. Do all the Transformer keys work? If not, I could
provide something similiar for the Transformer.

The only combo that I would like to work on connect bot for the transformer
is shift + delete, have it map to delete next character (as it does in the
rest of the Android system). I am not sure about the function keys as I
don't use them, I can confirm that vim works great using the search key
(magnifying glass) in place of escape.

I'm not getting any setting options for the ASUS Transformer Keyboard.

I just saw comment #62, saying the ASUS Transformer keyboard support option
was removed from the lorantkurthy version. Is there a copy of this still
available anywhere? Or some other replacement? I really need to be able

I have my own clone with some transformer changes and some fixes (e.g.
Enter key, pubkey). You can find it here:
https://code.google.com/r/4wayned-connectbot-transformer-fixes/source/list
It's pretty easy to use ant to build that, if you want to set up your own
android SDK. If you don't want to hassle with that, you could snag my
debug apk here:

With the ConnectBot-debug.apk, the control key works fine (though I will

TF-101 and have tried each of the versions in the thread. All address esc
& ! characters for me, however the | is not present that I can find. Odd
mappings that I'm seeing: 2/@ actuall maps to 2/", "/' maps to "/@, and the
\ / | key maps to # and ~.
Anyone working on a fix for |?

This app works fine with the hardware keyboard on the Transformer:
https://github.com/jackpal/Android-Terminal-Emulator
ctrl works great, which is what I use all the time with "screen" etc
Perhaps the code from it can be used in connectbot to fix the hardware key
issues?

The debug version from #72 is pretty near perfect. It seems better on
Android v4 than the ancient version on the market and it supports the Prime
keyboard perfectly. This should be merged into the main branch and released
on the market imho. Great work.

Pretty much same feeling as #82. I love the build from #72 :) It would be
awesome if you could keep the back button on the screen working while
remapping the keyboard one, but that is just nitpicking.

Since there is a tablet version of ConnectBot, anyone fancy enough to put
Transformer/Prime/Slider keyboard modifications in it?
I kinda like it more than 'normal' phone versione since i can switch
extremely easily among different established SSH sessions.
Would be really nice to have it modified.
Thanks in advance!

I personally dislike the tablet version, as it wastes screen space that I
want to use for displaying content. It was also buggy back when I tried
it, so I am satisfied with the normal version.

Dunno if there's a more relevant bug report, but I have the same symptoms
with Connectbot on my Motorola Droid4. Shifted number keys are not getting
entered correctly, 1-4 produce nothing. Shifted 5 thru 0 produce VT100
function key codes 5, 7, 8, 9, 0, and 1.
Can someone please point me to the particular source patch that fixed this
for the Transformer? Thanks.

I think we should switch the current auto-detection code back to using a
menu option so that other devices can try out the code. I'll look into
that for my patched version soon.

after being pretty near frustrated having a halfway decent keyboard on my
brand new TF201, but not being able to do even the simplest work on it with
connectbot, I tried the version from #72, and it fixes most issues I
have ...
I'm using a TP with German keyboard ... only a small number of keys do not
work correctly, like § (shift-3), accents (`´), € or German Umlauts (äöüß),
but I can live with that ...
