@keneda If you haven't used ssh before, this may be helpful: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/advanceduse/ssh.html

@flohack i'll do my best ^^

@Moem Right, never used ssh.

Thanks both.

Now i go to work, have a nice day

@Flohack Just to tell you i did not give up, i wait for OTA16 to reach my MX4, then i'll save data and try.

By the way, i forgot to ask previously, why is SSH the best?
Can't it works well directly from the MX4?

Moem

@keneda Once you get it set up, SSH is really nice because it lets you use the terminal on your phone, from your computer (laptop or desktop). Real keyboard and everything. So much easier!

Wait, the hardware buttons do things on Ubuntu Touch? How does that work?

flohack

@immychan basically hardware buttons that are mapped to input devices will emulate a keyboard keypress. There are a multitude of keycodes that can be emitted by hardware buttons.

Lomiri will react on a few of them, and this can of course be tweaked in some way. I am thinking of connecting the hardware button of the Fairphone 2 e.g. to do the same as we know from this device: Open the app drawer.

@flohack Sorry for the laaaaaate feedback, here it is, and i hope i did it well (even if i didn't use SSH) ^^

I tested all events, and the touch button only gave me feedback with event1 "mtk-tpd" that handles touchscreen too.
I tried quick and long press that does not the same thing in uTouch, but same result on evtest.

Tell me if you need something else, i'll try to be quicker to answer

@keneda Alright so it seems its bound to KEY_LEFTMETA which is basically ALT-Key I think right?

Yes it seems, but can't tell if it's alt-key

Did a qwant search https://www.qwant.com/?client=brz-moz&q=KEY_LEFTMETA&t=web but nothing clear about that.

flohack

@keneda No its left windows key ^^

So to summarize, that key should open the launcher we said right?

Yes. To be more precise, with no app opened, it opens app drawer (as app launcher is always on screen), with an app opened, it opens both app launcher and drawer.
