HTC Vision hard keyboard ALT keys do not select alternative keys #34

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using HTC Vision hard keyboard, press ALT + any other key at the Terminal 
IDE bash prompt

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to be able to type the alternate character shown on the key above the 
letter (i.e. 1 for ALT+Q, / for ALT+L, & for ALT+G, * for ALT+H...)  Instead, 
no character is printed.  It looks like Terminal IDE is altering the ALT key 
behavior so that it does not select the key's alternate character.  Here is an 
example of right ALT+L, which should display /:

02-18 16:47:37.859 minal IDE KEY_LOGGER  V  Key Logged : 58
02-18 16:47:38.009 minal IDE KEY_LOGGER  V  Key Logged : 40
02-18 16:47:38.249         SpartacusRex  V  EMVIEW : ALT OFF

Is there a way to let the hard keyboard input not be modified?  I do not have 
any custom key mappings (I even reset them in the Terminal IDE keyboard menu).  

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

HTC Vision, CyanogenMod-7.1.0-vision (android 2.3.7), Terminal IDE System 1.95

Please provide any additional information below.

Yeah, I'm having the same problem on a droid 2. It would be nice to add an 
option for the alt key as the escape and control keys, ie, mapping it to vol 
up, camera, etc, since the standard alt key is needed for numbers and symbols

just find a way to temporary overcome this issue:
1. run telnetd in the terminal ide;
2. use connectbot login into localhost:8080;
3. your hard keyboard just acts well...

My Droid 3 has the same issue. As for the method in comment 8, I tried it and 
the ALT key still didn't do anything (correctly, that is).

Same here on a Jellybean Desire Z. No alt keys makes vim pretty useless since 
we don't have a hardware keyboard to use the soft one.
Please, please fix this

leoz:
The patch file just represents the modified code from the original source. The 
modified files are EmulatorView.java and TermSettings.java. The '+' and '-' 
characters represent added/removed lines. You can apply it with the patch 
command, or by hand.

To install you need to download the terminal ide source apply the patch and 
recompile an apk and copy it to your phone.

Use the Android development kit
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/bundle.html to recompile the source 
into an 'apk' which can be installed on your phone.
