[XA2] Bluetooth keyboard drops key presses in Android apps
Hello,
With the release of Sailfish OS 3.2.0.12, my Bluetooth keyboard now pairs successfully with my XA2 / XA2 Ultra, and works quite flawlessly with native application. Thanks for the work so far!
However, with Android applications there are two major issues:
- Typing text in an Android application drops most of the key presses (90% maybe? Very random behavior...)
- Bluetooth keyboard layout can't be changed (e.g. ö and ä in Finnish keyboard type ; and ' instead)
It's great to be able to use the terminal with a proper keyboard now, but Android apps still can't take advantage of it... The support is kinda there already, as some keypresses make it through. Finalizing the support would be most highly appreciated.
Thank you!

edit
with sailfish os 3.3.0, bluetooth keyboard suppord in android has been improved greatly - i'm typing this with my k380 - and no keypresses are lost. there are three issues remaining;
- keyboard layout has no effect; still can't type in finnish
- shift and caps lock keys have no effect, so typing capital letters and many symbols is impossible
- ctrl key has no effect, so copy/cut/paste et. al. can't be used
- delete key does not work but backspace does
- mute button does not work, but volume up and down work
so it looks like many meta keys are lost in translation. please complete the support as soon as possible. thanks
