Hi Lee! This is kind of a double post, but I'll keep it much shorter this time.

Feature request: volume keys used as cursor control for keyboard

It makes much more sense having the cursor control based on when the keyboard is popped up, not based on current app, like Cursor Control playstore app does. Apart from GravityBox (which Xposed isn't released for Oreo yet plus I really don't want to use Xposed anyway) this app seemed to be the only one that did what I needed it to do. Unfortunately besides being somewhat unreliable, using the app makes the "app running in background" notification show up all the time which is really annoying!

Also, donation code: bought premium keys for Tweaks and Shortcutter! Will go double premium key on Tweaks later once I add my Google Play gift card moneys I got over Christmas. ;) Also, my last name is Lee (like a zillion other Korean people lol) so your ROM just feels so personalized already just by its name and bootscreen! :) Thanks for your great ROM!

My original post from a few pages back. Successful R88 install, successful adblocking (system and youtube), Magisk v15, Google Phone & Contacts installed with stock Phone and People intact just in case. Everything working perfectly:

Thanks for the ROM Lee. Just flashed it and so far it's super smooth. I liked it enough to get premium keys for LD Tweaks and Shortcutter right away (even though I don't even use premium features yet on shortcutter, just my way of saying thanks). Coming from Viper, I'm very happy in all respects.

Currently, paired with CS kernel, absolutely no problems on R88, updated to Magisk v15, Google Framework magisk module to install Google Phone and Contacts from play store (so I can keep stock intact, in case I have issues since the aroma installer said Google Phone/Contacts may be buggy. But they're working great this way so far), iYTBP magisk module for adfree YouTube, using K.Adaway feature on CS kernel and no problems with ad-blocking (I re-flashed CleanSlate 3.7.3 just in case to make sure CS's K.Adaway hosts file got written, then enabled in CleanSlate Configuration App w/ Companion also installed). ROM runs amazingly. No FC's or issues at all so far.

The only feature I can barely live without right now is using volume keys to move keyboard cursor left/right, which I've been using for years and is so freaking helpful thanks to my sausage fingers.

I see that APM is still being implemented back in to LeeDroid Oreo. I'm using shorcutter's QS tile for now as you recommended for APM, and that's working great as an alternative for now. But I wasn't sure if the volume keys to control caret cursor was once a feature and just hasn't been added back in yet to the Oreo build or if it never was a feature. Or maybe I'm just completely missing it somewhere in the options?

I tried using Cursor Control from the play store but it's just simply way more reliable for the feature to work when the keyboard is popped up, not based on app like Cursor Control does. There's no xposed yet to use GravityBox, and I haven't needed xposed in over a year and would prefer not using it anyway just for this feature. Am I missing it somewhere or is this a difficult feature to implement?

Figured I'd ask nicely either way. Again, thanks! Hope you had a very merry Christmas!
