re #50 : Could you post the patch somewhere? I am moving house this week but
will hopefully find time in a week or so to have a hack at all these keyboard
issues. Unless someone else beats me to it. :)

This replaces back with 'esc', something like checking if it has been already
pressed once then it should do the 'back' action (or, have a menu item do the
Activity.onBackPressed() call) needs to be done in order to be connected to
multiple hosts. I hope it will help.
in src/org/connectbot/ConsoleActivity.java, just put it somewhere in the
activity if the patch doesn't apply

Fork works perfectly. Any chance we can get it merged with mainline? ;)

Thanks for the fork, I was about to try to code a fix myself.

On the fork for Asus Transformer Docking Keyboard, could you make 'shift +
backspace' map to a forward delete (as it does in the rest of android?).
Thanks!!

I'm wondering if someone can create a WIKI page that documents the current
keyboard settings. The Comment #39 APK works great, with the search button now
being the escape key.
Previously the shift-1 would send the F1, but now it appropriately sends an
"!". This now begs the question of how one would send an F1 if that was indeed
what they needed.
Also, please add a comment when this change makes it to the regularly
distributed application in the Marketplace, so we can all switch back to using
that one (which gets automatic updates).
Thank you for all this work! This is making the transformer so much more of a
laptop replacement for me (better battery life, etc, etc).

I've made a simple debug build with grizza's patch. I don't know enough to
implement his suggestions regarding allowing back via menu or double press, but
as a vi user I need ESC to be easy to use.

APK in comment #39 works great, thanks! Would love to see this get synced into
main so I could just download from market.

Kurt, I don't see the "Transformer" option in settings after installing your
version. Could this be either because this is the 3G version (TF101G) or
because the langauge of my system is not English?

Yes I don't see it either. I am using asus slider.
Original comment by kzeo...@gmail.com

The option was removed when the code started to check
Build.MODEL.equals("Transformer TF101"); We'll need to enhance this check for
things like the Transformer Prime and the slider.
I have my own version of this fork that also fixes the Enter key issue (as
mentioned in that bug) and am about to try out the back-as-esc change. It
would be nice to limit that remapping to just the back via the keyboard (not
the screen), but that may not be possible (I haven't checked yet). If the
lorantkurthy version doesn't get updated soon, I'll push out a git fork that
has the latest official changes + all these extra fixes.

I have been trying to get this to work on my Slider for the past few hours.
Searching has finally led me here. I can be patient waiting for a new build
that does the Buld.MODEN.equals in a way that supports the Slider, but I wonder
if I should expect any additional issues? I have the Japanese version of the
slider. The keyboard is somewhat different.

I made an attempt to support the TF101G in my fork. See
https://github.com/akaihola/connectbot/commit/4b70b92b186fb88c2b8eb5496dce79ce7f
0496c0
Unfortunately I haven't yet had a chance to actually compile and test the
modification.
Original comment by akaih...@gmail.com

I'd suggest changing the 2 lines that end with !Build.MODEL.equals("Transformer
TF101") into:
... && !Build.MODEL.startsWith("Transformer ");
That way it matches anything that starts with "Transformer" and a space.
(akaihola: you missed on in src/org/connectbot/ConsoleActivity.java )
I'll attach a patch with this change in it.

This isn't specific to the Asus Transformer's keyboard dock. I encountered the
exact same problem on an Eee PC 1005PEB running Android-x86 3.2 RC2
(Honeycomb). Is there any way the model could be detected at run time, so we
don't wind up with ten million versions of Connectbot?

Is there an android way to check for a physical keyboard or better yet keyboard
layout? This problem is going to be more and more common as tablets become
popular.

Are there still issues with the Transformer? In my clone -
http://connectbot.vx.sk - I am providing a selectable menu option for Xperia
(mini) pro users. Do all the Transformer keys work? If not, I could provide
something similiar for the Transformer.

The only combo that I would like to work on connect bot for the transformer is
shift + delete, have it map to delete next character (as it does in the rest of
the Android system). I am not sure about the function keys as I don't use them,
I can confirm that vim works great using the search key (magnifying glass) in
place of escape.

I just saw comment #62, saying the ASUS Transformer keyboard support option was
removed from the lorantkurthy version. Is there a copy of this still available
anywhere? Or some other replacement? I really need to be able to use this
TF101 for mutt and emacs on a remote system.
Thanks,

I have my own clone with some transformer changes and some fixes (e.g. Enter
key, pubkey). You can find it here:
https://code.google.com/r/4wayned-connectbot-transformer-fixes/source/list
It's pretty easy to use ant to build that, if you want to set up your own
android SDK. If you don't want to hassle with that, you could snag my debug
apk here:

Thanks, 4WayneD. I just tried the debug build, but I still don't see any
option in Settings to set the keyboard to ASUS TF101. Am I missing something?
Thanks!

As I mentioned in comment 65, the option was done away with long ago. What's
not working?

Oh, I see. The option is gone, but the keys just work. Excellent! I'm going
to experiment some more, but my initial results with emacs look good.
Thanks!

I just got my ASUS Transformer Prime and keyboard dock with the main purpose of
running emacs.
With the ConnectBot-debug.apk, the control key works fine (though I will remap
it to caps-lock) and the search key works as Alt. Made my day.
Thanks!

This app works fine with the hardware keyboard on the Transformer:
https://github.com/jackpal/Android-Terminal-Emulator
ctrl works great, which is what I use all the time with "screen" etc
Perhaps the code from it can be used in connectbot to fix the hardware key
issues?

The debug version from #72 is pretty near perfect. It seems better on Android
v4 than the ancient version on the market and it supports the Prime keyboard
perfectly. This should be merged into the main branch and released on the
market imho. Great work.
