Greek Polytonic Breve not combining

Hello dev,

I have been using this app and it has worked wonderfully. I started studying Greek recently and it has done everything I have needed with one exception. I figured out how to map a key to the breve symbol ˘ but I cannot seem to get it to combine with my vowels. They only show up like this: ˘α. I have made sure that the breve is checked on the combine keys page. Am I missing something or is it a bug?

Thank you for all you do.

Hi.

Got this app (pro) from yesterday on my Android 5.1 Sony smart TV.

My problems:

1. My second and third keyboard layout options are grayed out so I can't set for multi language use.

2. Language switch key is set back to "disabled" no matter how many times I un-check the the "disabled" checkmark an hit Save.

Perhaps these two issues are related, I don't know.

But I really need a solution to the multi language issue for my keyboard.

Thank.

Issue with ShuttleXpress

Hi!

I'm using the ShuttleXpress of Contour in the App

I manage to get the 5 buttons working, but I can't use the Potentiometer in the middle, I don't get any KeyCode nor Anything when I scan it.

Is it possible to fix it?

Thanks

Hi,

I have android 5 and an elecom foldable bluetooth keyboard. The " command" and the "<>|" keys always start up the google search app. When I try to scan the keycode, there is no keycode displayed and google app starts.

Is there any way to redefine those keys? I think with KitKat this was possible.

Hi,

I currently use bvnc to connect to my linux computer from my tablet and use a USB keyboard/mouse through an OTG cable. Alt-Tab and the 'Super' key are both currently mapped to the default android actions (app switcher and google search, respectively). I'm looking for a way to have android ignore these key presses and instead pass the alt-tab and super keys through to my bvnc session so that they so that they are perceived as such on my linux machine. Would this app allow me to do this and does anyone know how I can go about it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vitualcai:
We have similar problems, I think android (since lollipop) does low level keycode scanning and ekh won't help. Any ideas? Disabling Google search didn't help, then there is no action at all.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CE42:
I suppose even disabling the default Android actions would be a step in the right direction. At least then I wouldn't keep accidentally alt-tabbing away from my vnc session!

Android External BT Keyboard issues

The only reasons I have not subscribed to the full version, at its modest price, is that I am not yet clear that it will do what I want and I am wary of the risk of going in over my head. A while back I locked myself out of my computer by re-mapping keys which prevented me using my password.

I have a new Bluetooth Android keyboard which has Pound and Euro keys which do not work. I can get the £ but not the Euro by switching back and forwards between US English and UK English, which is quite easy. But I cannot get the Euro, plus there are a number of keys which appear to have no function, such as some of the F keys, while there is no key (or combination known to me) for Print Screen or Pause / Break.* I am pleased with the Careflex keyboard but would like to be able to use it fully.

Are these the sort of issues Helper can sort out?

Hi, I can't figure out how to change the Umlaut behavior for the US International keyboard.

Currently:

Alt+u gives dots, then press either a,o,u to get Umlaut ...this is identical to Mac OSX

Preferred:

Shift+" gives dots, then press either a,o,u to get Umlaut, or space to get " .....this would be what Windows or Linux is using.

I saw that I can add " to the dead keys, but didn't find a way to get it to behave like a Windows/Linux desktop would.

Hi. I used the search feature but couldn't find a post that addresses my issue. Love this app! I read the FAQ about how to backup and restore keyboard remapping, but it doesn't work and I'm a bit confused.

After buying the Pro version I now have FOUR app icons - 2 for DEMO (EKH Settings and EKH Switch IME) and 2 for Pro (EKH Settings and EKH Switch IME). I don't know what "IME" means (input method something?). I go into one of the 2 DEMO versions (EKH Settings) where I have CUSTOM2 customized, navigate to Customize Keyboard Mappings, click the MORE menu and select BACKUP. I exit out of the DEMO version, start the Pro version (EKH Settings), select CUSTOM2 as my keyboard layout, navigate to Customize Keyboard Mappings, click the MORE menu and select RESTORE, and it seems that nothing happens. When I look at my Application Shortcuts in the Pro version, none of my settings from the DEMO version are restored. In the Andoid 6.0.1 Settings, Language and Input, I did ensure both the DEMO and Pro versions are enabled and made the Pro version the default. I know it's probably a simple fix, but I'm pulling some hair out so I would appreciate some help. Thanks.

Cannot use right alt.

In most of the apps I cannot use right alt + letter to use national characters (PL). I have mappings which use Alt Gr, but I can only use left alt. Only in one app (VimTouch) I can use right alt, but not Right + Shift + letter combination. Tried many different settings combinations, but none seems to work. Do I miss some setting or is is a bug?

apps shortcut issue "not installed."

I use the EKH Pro with my keyboard Rii Mini I8+ and my AndroidTV (TV Bravia Nougat 7.0)

For some apps, the mapping / shortcut doesn't work !

After mapping, when I press the shortcut key, it popup at the screen : #apps# is not installed.

For example, it's ok for VLC, Youtube, MX Player

But it doesn't work for Molotov : "tv.molotov.app is not installed."

the same problem for apps system installed in stock ROM.

Is-it a well know issue ?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 VE and I've a problem with the switch IME app. Whenever I connect the bluetooth keyboard the keyboard change dialog pops up, but I cannot choose any of the options except to turn the toggle switch "Show virtual keyboard" on.

Once I've done this, I can then manually select the change keyboard notification to change the keyboard. Then I have to open the change keyboard notification a third time to deselect the "show virtual keyboard" toggle. I need to do this because I don't always use the External keyboard Pro app with the bluetooth keyboard. It's annoying to have to do these operations every single time I connect the bluetooth keyboard. Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?

Thanks for any reply.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JoelStickney:
This should be:

• Updated to have 8.1 support

• Updated to allow key combinations mapped to other keys (like Alt + keycode = volume down)

• Give it a higher priority, some apps, like Snes9x take over the buttons and don't allow it to work if it already has mapped itself a particular key that EKH uses (I've tried all the settings and Snes9x always wins out).

D-Pad mapping

Hey guys, the app is great but the one issue I have is that it doesn’t pick up D-pad directional commands.

When I try to get the scan code for my D-pad buttons, it doesn’t pick up a scan code but instead just enters 0 and moves the selection from the scan code entry box to the next box, as if the D-pad “moved” the selection away from the scan code entry.

Is there a way to remap my d-pad keys?

Enter/Return key not working

MHA-L29 OpenKirin Resurrection Remix OS 7.0.1 Beta 1

With any external keyboard (USB or Bluetooth), the Enter key does nothing (same result with or without EKH installed). I ran the Debug function from EKH but pressing the Enter key simply does not generate a scan code.

On earlier Android devices, the Enter key works OK with all these keyboards.

Any suggestions?

EKH on AndroidTV

I hope [MENTION=2426812]kallt_kaffe[/MENTION] is still supporting the app (but he's not reading XDA since 2016/04/16!)

I bought an Rii Mini i28C Wireless (Italian layout) long time ago and used without big problems on various TV boxes not real AndroidTV. Now I'm using it on a real and certified AndroidTV with OS v8.0 device (TIM Box) and me too I cannot type in Italian but only in English. :(

It looks to me an AndroidTV limit because no matter what language I select, the stock GBoard keyboard showed on TV is always in English and even not QWERTY but a stupid ABCDE! :crying:

Even setting EKH as default ime isn't working (and so loosing the on-screen keyboard).

I have also found that the D-PAD on the keyboard isn't exactly working like the D-PAD on the original remote, is this another AndroidTV limit and I have to remap some keys?

Hi

I just bought and installed EKH with the aim of mapping a single keyboard key (F12 in my case) to an application:

I just followed this tutorial

EKH Tutorial 5 - Application shortcuts and Text strings

The is the fifth tutorial for External Keyboard Helper. You'll find a all the tutorials here . A nice feature in External Keyboard Helper ...

blog.apedroid.com

my key F12 is recognised when I press scancode, I mapped it to a0 as displayed here

View attachment 5755015

However it's not working (launching the app I mapped to a0). I tried using a0 just in the normale field and all the others, but still it wont launch the app.

Can anyone help me please understanding where I'm wrong? Should I change something in the Capslock option?

This is the problem, 0 and negative device ids are usually built in buttons or on screen buttons so the app ignores them. I'll add an option to completely disable the device id filter in the next version.

Just some info about what I'm working on:

- Possibility to turn off the device filter - DONE

- Option to manually enter the scancode instead of reading it from keypress - DONE

- Option to increase the delay before keyrepetition kicks in, and even disable key repetition completely - WIP but looks good so far.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kallt_kaffe:
You have all the available keycodes here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html

You can also see in which API level they appeared.

Some keycodes can be remapped but others like "Home" are handled before the Input Method gets a chance to change them.

I do not think there is a keycode for the appdrawer but you can probably have some success with mapping other stuff like the volume keys.

Meanwhile you can do a custom layout and add ´ and ` to some keys. They should be combining by default. In fact you should be able to use they key left of "1" to add the grave accent to letters.

need help at ics problem with ekhp

Hi there.....

I'm using ekhp on my galaxy note,with a rapoo 6300 bt keyboard....

The keyboard have a stupid time out function after a not using time of 2 minutes or just less..........

On 2.3.6 it wasn't such a problem,cause the bluetooth driver and ekhp reconnect it just after awakening........

But now i change to ics and also Bt have changed.....:-(

Every time if i want to use the keyboard,i have to pair it completely new......and if it powered of and i try to awake and reconnect,ekhp said "bluetooth keyboard connected",but the bluetooth symbol in task bar won't change to connect,then theinput selection board goes on but no connection......

And this again in 10 second periods.......

Just after pairing the keyboard completely new,i got connection again.......so what's going wrong?

Is it possible that ekhp have a problem with ics....today i will try to deinstall ekhp and look,what ics will do alone......

And maybe do it make sense to install the GB BT System Tools? Or is it dangerous about system crashes?

I really often need the external Keyboard and was so happy about Ekhp,but at the moment,it's unusable.......pls could you help me anyway.....?
