Specify the Keyboard Type

[MNH]

Is there a "computer keyboard" inputType method? I'm looking specifically for something with function keys (F1, etc.). If such a method exists, could the function keys be programmed?

I should have posted this in Android Development. Webmaster, please move it there.

I'm not a developer, but I do have an idea. What I've seen on other apps is a pop up menu that lets you choose the special keys and sends the character codes. I think an example is with Teamviewer there is a pop-up menu that will let me choose Ctrl-Alt-Del on my phone and it sends the command to my computer. Like I said, I'm not a developer, but that may be an alternative approach should the keyboard not be an option. Good luck!!

I was going to suggest Hackers Keyboard but it hasn't been updated since 2018 so it might be buggy.
