  • Android Telnet and Numeric Keypad?

    From Shurato@21:2/148 to All on Saturday, June 03, 2023 19:35:00
    Is there any way to use a normal numeric keypad in an Android telnet app
    (like connectbot)? I can't play my games with 1,2,3 on top instead of 7,8,9.
    I haven't found any keyboard apps that do that yet and I have a PC, so
    there's no reason to get a blue-tooth keyboard just for when I'm on the road.

    It's probably not exactly what you are looking for, but the Gboard (Google Keyboard) keyboard does have a button that brings up the numeric keypad when pressed. Look to the left of the spacebar in the symbols keyboard mode.

    It is a phone number pad, with 1,2,3 on top instead of 7,8,9 on top. Not good for door games using the numeric keypad for navigation. Thanks,t hough.
