Android app and physical keyboard

RE: Android app and physical keyboard
Hi Tim,

I just thought of a reason why having the Linux mapping from CTRL to SHIFT would be good. It allows you to do "Clear" from the qwerty keyboard (press and release CTRL which sets SHIFT on the Prime, then press and release ESC). This works great on the Linux app.

Interestingly, you might think that the Tab key and CTRL keys together could be used to control the upper/lower case of the characters sent by the keyboard, but they don't...the keyboard sends what it sends independent of the ALPHA "shift" flags showing in the upper left corner of the display. I don't see it as a big deal, because I think it's more intuitive to have the Linux behavior where Shift and CAPSLOCK works as expected.

Sincerely,

Joe
