Physical Keyboard ENTER Key not working

Wondered what was up with that. Enter seemed to do nothing, although did not try Esc on the Logitech keyboard/mouse combo I have.

Was was really weird was expecting the right mouse button to bring up a context menu. Instead right-mouse is a Go Back command. But the precision of the mouse vs. air mouse it better; don't have to click a button to stop the cursor (hard to get in the right spot sometimes) & then click the button next to it to Enter.
Still like the Air Mouse for some things. Navigation and precision is better to a Bluetooth mouse.
 
Hi, i've found a quick solution for me: just installing the "External Keyboard Helper" app and activating an option which seems to be made to solve this particular issue with some hardware keyboards. I've purchased the pro version of the app but there is also a demo version and i think it also has that option available, try it ! hope this helps, the "q" instead of enter is sooooooooooooooooo annoying...
 
Hi, I'm new to this forum but i would like to agree to this issue. It's annoying and I would appreciate if there would be a solution in a next update ;) Because I see many user struggle with this.
 
As from today I am removing my U22 and replacing it with my trusty U1 as it is impractical to use it on a daily basis. I use my system for many chores like email and browsing and without been able to cut and paste and press the return key it has become obsolete for now. I will miss its speed but that is basically where it ends for me. The forum is so quiet at present, I guess like myself everyone is waiting on a new update...I hope it it includes been able to use a normal keyboard. Please don't think I'm spitting my dummy out...I'm just shocked almost a year after been on the market I still can't do the simplest of tasks.

I would not say perfect since you cannot scroll on many apps ... in fact the airmouse function is unusable for those who want to use the box at 360 degrees and not just as a media player .... (problem already reported on the forum) . We hope that this time the new firmware solves the problem

Yes I believe if keyboard is sorted out in next update it will please many owners. Lets hope for an early Christmas present :)
 
Hello. I am here needing to get the escape key to function as navbar back button. Seems that I might have to twiddle generic.kl as well in /vendor. Anyone know the proper change to make for this in the file?

Thanks

After using the root command "dumpsys input" to verify which .kl file was being used and confirming that it is indeed the one mentioned in this thread, I went ahead and changed the ENTER key and on key 1 (ESCAPE) I changed to BACK. Rebooted and now things are much better. I use only a wireless USB keyboard with all of my TV boxes so I also usually install the Null Keyboard app. I find I do not need to do that on the U22 as the physical keyboard settings allow me to simply not show the virtual keyboard when a physical one is present.
 
I don't know if this is generic for all USB keyboards but I am now aware that in some (who knows, all?) keyboards with an Enter key in the characters area and an Enter key in the numeric pad, the Enter key in the characters area might not work however the Enter key in the numeric area might work. Just a hint, as I got a desk wired keyboard connected and this was a good finding.
