Hello guys,

i have a BT Keyboard which i want to use on my XA2+.
The problem that i have, my system is in french and i have a german BT Keyboard (qwertz).
Connection with both works really great. But SFOS gives me only to use the french layout.
No way to have the german one like the keyboard.
That shall be possible to do it under settings like every other OS do.
Maybe apply it by changing the settings under aosp settings which are sadly hidden....

Please add a setting point for changing BT-Keyboard layout, or give better access to AOSP settings for changing this layout.
Have this issue on xa2+, but seems to me that is more a feature than a bug (same problem for all).

Thank you very much in advance for this .

Cheers

Well, maybe I'm stupid, but isn't there a setting to set the layout for hardware keyboards? Or is that not working? Have never used it, but just wondering for what these setting could be...

@yajo I also have the option to select a different hardware keyboard layout at the bottom of the Text input screen in the Settings app. And indeed, there is a different layout active than with the virtual keyboard. Unfortunately, I can't test this because my hardware keyboards only have a physical PS/2 connector.

As @yajo and @Maus told, there is the possibility in settings "text input". don't know why i passed it.

If it could be an search field in settings, i could find it in my own for sure...

I'll close the topic right know.

Have a nice sails
