According to the physical keyboard configuration on my android phone, there are a number of keyboard shortcuts that involve the "search" key. E.g. "🔍+⏎" for home. I've included a screenshot below showing the complete list. I am running LineageOS 16.0 (Android 9); the screenshot comes from the "Physical keyboard" configuration (System -> Languages & input -> Physical keyboard).
What key is Android expecting for the "🔍" key?
I have a keyboard configured with a "Search" key. Using evtest
on my Linux box, I can see the keyboard is sending the KEY_SEARCH
keycode:
Event: time 1601635686.628475, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 217 (KEY_SEARCH), value 1
This comes from the "USB-HID Keyboard Consumer Control" device.
When connected to my phone, none of the shortcuts involving the search key appear to work. I am wondering if I just need to remap the search key to send something different?

), so pretty sure it's not referring to the software keyboard. This is LineageOS 16.0 (Android 9).
