It is possible that the software implements a non standard control and did not properly implement that side.
Try other tricks - double tap etc.

Single tap would relocate the cursor in the editor window,
double tap strangely switches to visual mode, and single
tapping again goes back to normal. No way to trigger
keyboard so far, but that's a question for the devs if I have time.
Tapping is caught by vim obviously.

It's not working for me with the vol buttons now, but I
prefer them to be page turners anyway. For most apps
that requires to long tap on the icon in applications
menu and then choose "Apps Optimize Setting", uncheck
"Use page key as volume key". It's a little
bit annoying to do that for every downloaded app.
[ Just to check I added Hacker's Keyboard to homescreen
and now I don't know how to remove it from there again].
Checked some file managers from f-droid, the most appealing
one is Dir, because he has greyscale mode, and automatically
uses 3 columns with increased font size. Tiny font size is the
biggest problem with most apps. Sadly by now I have no idea how to
do cut/paste/rename/delete actions with this one.
bVNC for example is good at forcing landscape mode, but the
keyboard is way to big then, utilizing 1/3 of screen or so.
x11vnc is really the most easy way to get it running. I hadn't
time to read the whole monitor thread so far, are you sharing
your startup options/config anywhere? I just would use it
over encrypted home lan.
