Good that you found that fork, you may want to try building the Android app yourself and make changes to the file: github.com/jidhub/thumb-external-keyboard-layouts/blob/master/… so that the mapping works for you, since you've discovered there a few interpretations of the mapping. Lots of resources about Android dev online but software development is off-topic here. Good luck. | |
| Aug 20 at 5:39 | comment | added | Moongazer | @Morrison Chang: Thank you very much for your advice and the links you sent. One of them led me, eventually, to an Android app on Google's Play Store ("More Physical Keyboard Layouts") that adds more keyboard layouts to Android's stock layouts. One of them is a Hebrew one. It's no use to me, as it makes this problem worse, not better, but it could potentially lead to a workaround. See addition to my question headed "Update 3." | |

| Aug 17 at 17:07 | comment | added | Morrison Chang | I found:cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/main/+/… which implies support in AOSP (or awareness as it is an external project). You should change your system locale to Israel and/or system language to Hebrew see if you can get the desired results. Otherwise I would submit with reproduction details along with system settings to the 'framework' tag. | |

Yes, I use Gboard + several others, one of which is Hebrew Nikud Keyboard, which supports adding Hebrew-vowel diacritics, including Qubuts. But the aim is to do so with a physical kbd. I tried this: Installed AnySoftKeyboard + its Hebrew pack. Used it a bit. Connected the bluetooth kbd, and, under Physical Keyboard, went to "Set up keybd layouts," removed the Android Hebrew layout, then added it again. Still can't type a Qubuts on it. Will keep trying. I plan to file it as a bug at source.android.com/docs/setup/contribute/report-bugs. Any idea under what component to file it? | |

| Aug 16 at 0:39 | comment | added | Morrison Chang | @Moongazer As both devices tested were Pixel devices you were probably using G-Board (Google's Keyboard), correct?. Have you tried other soft keyboards which can remap bluetooth/physical keyboards, i.e. something like AnySoftKeyboard (available on Google Play Store & F-Droid) with its Hebrew language pack. Otherwise there may be other soft-keyboard apps that handle the remapping of 'Qubuts' correctly. | |

| Aug 12 at 19:05 | comment | added | Moongazer | @Andrew T. The title is now clearer. I got the J.B kbd bcs: 1) ALL typing on a physical kbd is easier, faster & less error prone than on a small, virtual kbd, and 2) bcs I made it a dual-language kbd by adding the Hebrew letters to the key caps with a red permanent-marker pen! On Windows, the relevant key is functioning & types a Qubuts, just not on Android, so the hardware is OK, it's just that Qubuts is missing from Android's kbd layout for Hebrew, so I can't type it on Android. John D: There are things I could lose by upgrading and still not fix this If Android 14 has the same bug. | |

| Aug 12 at 17:06 | comment | added | John Dallman | A detail worth adding: Is the Android 11 on the device the version that came with it? The device is upgradable to later versions, as far as Android 14, according to Wikipedia. | |
