Swapping hardware buttons - Pocketbook TL3

Flex21 · 03-30-2021, 05:05 AM

Hi,
is there some possibility to swap function of hardware buttons in Koreader in Pocketbook TL3? I have problem with buttons forward and backward - when i push the button, the reader turns 2 or 3 pages forward (or backward), its really ennoying. I want the function Forward set for button Menu, which works correctly. TL3 does have this function, but it works only in his system. In menu of Koreader i found only swap between buttons forward and backward, but not the menu button. I know I should complain about the device, but I only want it as a temporary solution..

I have another small problem. In the file device.lua, where i have to change the key bindings is wrong key setup. There is setup for D-pad, but my TL3 doesn´t have any. I need to change the key "LPgBack" for key "Home", but this key is not in this file. Can somebody help?

[C.KEY_MENU] = "Menu",
[C.KEY_PREV] = "LPgBack",
[C.KEY_NEXT] = "LPgFwd",
[C.KEY_UP] = "Up",
[C.KEY_DOWN] = "Down",
[C.KEY_LEFT] = "Left",
[C.KEY_RIGHT] = "Right",
[C.KEY_OK] = "Press",

You can *add* (or remove) entries to the list?

(Not quite sure which way you're trying to go, but C.KEY_HOME is a valid key code and Home a valid KOReader action, that should cover both ways ^^).

Thank you for your help, NiLuJe. I tried to add a line C.KEY_HOME, and change the key, but it doesn´t work. Maybe the best solution will be complaint, but the reader is out of warranty. I hope the repair will not be too expensive.
