Arrow keys in remote desktop (VNC type) apps #307

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. When using a remote desktop apps such as Teamviewer, free bVNC or androidVNC 
to connect to a windows pc and opening up a text program such as MS Word.
2. Clicking the arrow keys.

What is the expected behavior? What do you see instead?
Normally, we would expect the cursor to move up, down, left, right around the 
text characters. Instead, we see that the arrow keys only moves the pointer 
around on the screen incrementally by small steps.

What version of Hacker's Keyboard are you using? 
The version is 1.33.1332 d27b5144b8e2 2012-07-03.

On what phone or tablet?
Both phone and tablet.

If applicable, does this affect the 4-row or 5-row layout, or both? 
Arrow keys are on the 5-row layout only.

Which language(s)?
English.

Please provide any additional information below.

Thank you so much for this great app. It is definitely the best keyboard for 
the android tablets.

This sounds like the VNC application is configured to use the arrow keys for 
moving the mouse pointer. You should be able to reconfigure it to send key 
events instead. I don't think it's an issue with the keyboard.

I wrote a patch for AndroidVNC, but that project appears to be abandoned:
