Strange behavior of the special keys on BT keyboards #504

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connect a BT keyboard (an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard in my case)
2. Press shift and a number.
3. Or press alt and a letter.
4. Or press ctrl.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Although symbols don't appear when a number and shift are pressed (just 
numbers), pressing alt and letters from the second row (ASDFGHJKL) results into 
symbols !#$%^&*() respectively. Pressing letters on the first row with alt 
outputs the numbers above them. Such behavior is only observed in ConnectBot, 
applications using standard means of text inputting show symbols on 
shift+numbers and symbol variants on alt. Pressing ctrl does nothing in any 
applications, but it would be nice if ConnectBot could understand it and send a 
ctrl keypress.

What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu
-> About in the Host List)?
v1.7.1 2010.10.08

What type of system are you trying to connect to?
To a Mac and the the phone itself. Both show such behavior.

If you are able to connect, what is the output of "echo $TERM", "uname -a",
and any other relevant information on the host?
Such information is irrelevant since the bug is in the ConnectBot itself.
