Feature request: External input device buttons mapping

[omadon]

Currently key->action mapping is hard coded in the application. It would be nice if there is a configuration screen where this mappings can be changed.

The reason behind this is there are a lot of Bluetooth hardware controllers emulating keyboards and they are all made for specific application with different key mappings. With this option, OsmAnd would be compatible with all of them. If configuration screen is too complicated, external file with key mappings would also be ok.

Example: I have DMD2 as main dashboard and OsmAnd which I use for navigation. DMD2 has zoom in/out button mapped to F6/F7 and OsmAnd has +/- keys. It would be nice If I can also map zoom in/out in OsmAnd to F6/F7.

Key Device Action
C Keyboard [My location]
D Keyboard [Map orientation]
N Keyboard Open Navigation view.
S Keyboard Open [Search] view.
P Keyboard Switch to the next app profile. Show toast like message App profile: Name.
O Keyboard Switch to the previous app profile.
↑ Keyboard Move up
↓ Keyboard Move down
← Keyboard Move left
→ Keyboard Move right
+ Keyboard [Zoom in]
− Keyboard [Zoom out]

Hi @omadon

We added binding keys/actions for external input devices in OsmAnd 4.6. Now you can test it for the nightly version:

Next, we will add a choice of additional actions.
