		pmontra on Nov 8, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: About iSH’s pending removal from the App Store Android keyboards also lack Esc. The key in that place implements the go to home functionality (Android's middle button.) My use case is the now deprecated / defunct Linux container in Samsung's Dex. I didn't find a way to configure the keyboard and X11 to map it to an Esc for Linux. I've been using Control [, which is a little pain.

I mean a hardware keyboard, usually bluetooth but USB would do.
