Keyboard problems and observations (Evo Shift)
Keyboard problems and observations (Evo Shift)
First off, I have to say that PocketCloud is absolutely brilliant. The touchpointer is a bit of genius . . . Being able to control other computers remotely is exactly what I HOPED my smartphone would do the day I got it.
In fact I'm using it right now to enter this post with my Evo via my PC.
Observation: Must *hold* shift/fn keys on physical keyboardI'm using it with the Evo Shift, which has a built-in keyboard. One small observation that threw me off for a while: You have to actually *hold* the shift key and/or function key on the physical keyboard to get the shifted letter (or number or symbol) to type correctly.
Since this is different from the usual Android usage, it might be worth mentioning in the documentation somewhere. I wouldn't classify it as a problem or bug, just something people need to know about.
The Keyboard Problem
The problem--these keys do not work at all:
- Up, down, right, and left arrow, home, end, ins, del, page up, page down (all of these are on the on the on-screen function keys)
The function keys f1, f2, f3, etc, work just fine, and so do shift, alt, ctrl, tab, & win/cmd.
Feature requests
Two related feature requests:
1. It would be very useful to use the Shift's touchpad as arrow keys.
2. It would be helpful to be able to do Win-key shortcuts--win-e to open explorer, win-d to go to desktop, etc.
My set up:
Evo Shift with Android 2.2,using wifi & 3G
PocketCloud Free 1.1.108
Connecting via RDP
English (US) keyboard selected
Problem is the same with and without the Windows Companion
To Windows XP computer (SP3)
