Hi Tim,

Why do you say that? The behavior of the keyboard space-bar is specific to each app, and usually modal at that. Web browsers like chrome and Adobe's pdf reader take space-bar as "page down" when reading, but when an input field is selected, it's just "space". Seems clear that the app is in control of the interpretation of space-bar.

The Prime app doesn't seem to make any distinction about what is going on. Space-bar just always activates the app's main android menu (i.e. the "HP Prime" menu). It doesn't seem to matter whether I'm trying to edit a note, or do programming,...every time I hit space-bar that darn menu pops up. It's very unfortunate, because running the Prime app on a landscape tablet with a proper keyboard is really super cool otherwise.

Is there someone on the app development front that I can engage directly with?

Sincerely,

Joe
