USB OTG keyboard layouts for Sailfish
Does anyone know how to change keyboard layouts for USB keyboards connected using OTG (on devices that support it)?
I have a Thinkpad USB keyboard that works really well with my Fairphone 2, but many of the special characters are mapped to the wrong keys. As a side note, I was pleasantly surprised that the on-screen keyboard disappears when a USB keybaord is connected. |

boston.qmap?

Re: USB OTG keyboard layouts for Sailfish
Thanks for the hint :)
Is that supposed to be in /usr/share/qt5/keymaps/ ? I only have droid.qmap. The only info i can find about boston.qmap is to do with TOHKBD, am i right in thinking that the on screen keyboard is handled completely separately (maliit) to physical keyboards, and I'll be able to change physical keyboard settings without messing up maliit? |
Re: USB OTG keyboard layouts for Sailfish
If I remember correctly changing physical keyboard settings requires rebooting the device (and/or restarting Qt) ie. there is no way to change it on the fly.

Re: USB OTG keyboard layouts for Sailfish
That's fine by me, sounds like something I'll only have to do once since I'll only be using one physical keyboard.
What exactly do I need to change though? Do I need to create boston.qmap, or edit droid.qmap, or something else? |
