Hello- I have been investigating extending the keyboard support in Android to include PC type behavior, and to add non-US keyboards (GER, AZERTY, PTB, etc). I was under the impression that such support should exist at the Linux level (as mentioned in http://gunnarwrobel.de/wiki/Linux-and-the-keyboard.html). However, I see that the map files (eg., /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/ qwertz/de.map.gz in say SUSE Linux and possibly other distributions) do not exist in the Linux (Ubuntu based?) distributed with Android. In the Linux version distributed in Android, kcm files exist. The map files seem to be more feature-rich (have the ability to define rules for meta keys, and combined meta keys) than the kcm files. Also, the code that loads the kcm files seems to be fixed at expecting only 7 columns in the kcm file. This makes things difficult to expand keyboard support to multiple PC type keyboards. Is there a plan to bring (back?) support of map files into Android Linux?
