Is it possible to remap a bluetooth keyboard? - Sailfish OS Discussions on JollaTides Community Port

Herve5

I'm not really sure this is the forum to ask this, but having an old folding bluetooth keyboard I'd like to pair it with the phone (once I have it ;-)
My concern is, the keyboard isn't a QWERTY one (physical keys aren't in the qwerty order), and the adjusting for other devices was done through a driver (the actuel keys sent by the keyboard still are qwerty-ordered)
So, in a nutshell, I'd like to know if I can easily remap a keyboard input within Sailfish. I know generally this can be done simply via tables, what I don't know is if there is a reasonably easy way to do this (GUI, or autodetect macro, whatever...)
TIA!

I have a *related* issue where I'm trying to pair a bluetooth mini keyboard - the handset recognises the keyboard as a "Bluetooth keyboard", but does not react to text input in mallit.

While it's different to your issue, we probably both require some kind of access to kb source files.

Well that's not very positive :(
Du you know about attempts to actually plug USB ordinary keyboards in the mini-USB jack?

With everything open source there's always a way and linux indeed makes it much easier, but I'm not sure if the handset currently has the drivers to recognise a USB keyboard at this early stage.

I would test this for you, but I do not currently have a USB>micro USB adapter.

Howdy, Stranger!
