Physical keyboard shortcuts that use the "search" key? According to the physical keyboard configuration on my android phone, there are a number of keyboard shortcuts that involve the &quot;search&quot; key. E.g. &quot;+⏎&quot; for home. I've included a screenshot below showing the complete list. I am running LineageOS 16.0 (Android 9); the screenshot comes from the &quot;Physical keyboard&quot; configuration (System -&gt; Languages &amp; input -&gt; Physical keyboard).
What key is Android expecting for the &quot;&quot; key?
I have a keyboard configured with a &quot;Search&quot; key. Using evtest on my Linux box, I can see the keyboard is sending the KEY_SEARCH keycode:
Event: time 1601635686.628475, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 217 (KEY_SEARCH), value 1

This comes from the &quot;USB-HID Keyboard Consumer Control&quot; device.
When connected to my phone, none of the shortcuts involving the search key appear to work. I am wondering if I just need to remap the search key to send something different?
I've just connected my physical keyboard to my phone for the first time and was also shown that list of shortcuts. I too wonder what the Search key is on my keyboard. As I read you message I thought.... Maybe it's the key normally labeled as &quot;Win&quot; or &quot;OS&quot; etc. It's often considered a special key. Tried it.. Eg Win+C and yup, in opened up my Contacts app! :-)
