Moving to MCPE-10353. Explains the bug better.
Keyboard issues mentioned at MCPE-10353
0.14.1 - Still some Keyboard and Mouse for Android support bugs, namely:
- Mouse only mimics touch screen gestures/movements, does not move camera without clicking
- On keyboard, only WASD and Esc work (needs space for jump, E for inventory ect.)
In summary the keyboard and mouse controls on Android do not offer the same functionality as the Win 10 version
OK I can see what you mean I think this Works As Intended
As part of the newer chat features implemented in 0.14.2. It's not that the keyboard isn't responsive, it's just that pressing escape once removes the cursor, and pressing again exits the chat gui.
Edit: I have tested further and can see that it sometimes takes several presses of the esc key to get it to respond!
I'm still not sure that this relates to MCPE-10353

Verification builds:
1.2.0.2 Retail
Summary:
When playing on a mobile device with an external keyboard attached, the keyboard does not function fully.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Connect a compatible keyboard and mouse to an android device
- Open a world in Minecraft
- Try out the following keyboard keys:
- Shift - Cannot move downwards when flying
- Space - cannot repeatedly jump if held down when walking
- Slash - Cannot hit slash then start typing, you have to manually click or tap on the text input area
- Return - Does not work in chat, you have to use shift+return instead
- Tab - Autocomplete doesn't work
- CTRL+A/X/C/V - Do not function correctly (Unless you copy text from outside minecraft first)
Observed Results:
The above examples don't function as expected.
Expected Results:
I expected the keyboard functionality to mimic that of the Windows 10 Edition.
Screenshots/Videos attached: Yes
Notes:
The previous ticket for keyboard issues is MCPE-10353 (closed, as those particular issues were mostly resolved)
The ticket relating to the mouse functionality not being the same as Win10, is MCPE-9815, which has been closed as WAI, due to the feature not being added.
I recently purchased Minecraft PE for Android to join my kids who play on PC. I paired a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and though I was disappointed with the lack of true mouselook, it worked well enough. Yesterday however when I tried to play the keyboard no longer seemed to register all the keys. The "W", "A", "S", and "D" keys no longer work to move, yet "E" still opens the inventory. Worse, attempting to remap any of the keys in the settings doesn't seem to work either. The arrow keys seem to work for movement, but they are too far from other keys to be practical. Curiously, holding the control key to run and pressing any of the "W", "A", "S", or "D" keys causes the player to run continuously in that direction, even after the key is released. In reviewing old bug reports (MCPE-10353) it seems like this exact issue was present in earlier builds, but the bug reports indicate these issues were fixed long ago. I'm not sure why these issues suddenly manifested again, but I am wondering if the recent update from 1.8 where things were working to 1.8.1 has reintroduced this bug.
This same problem is still currently occuring on 0.13.0. I have a full on Micro-USB keyboard without OTG Hub. Esc W, A, S, D work. Forward backward left and right arrow keys also work for movement. But so far every other key does nothing. Using my keyboard I can bring up my menu and I can move in directions. I cant open my inventory, drop my items, move items, etc... To chat you have to tap the chat emblem with either your mouse or your hand. When typing on signs and chat all keys work as normal, its just when you try to use function keys does you keyboard quit working. Please help me here
I use the RCA 7 Voyager II or RCA-RCT6773W22B with Android OS Version, 5.0
Is there a possibility this could be fixed in MCPE's 0.13.1 Build that is hoped/rumored to come out this Wednesday?
Does this bug still appear in 0.13.1? If so please respond.
Yes it does. It is also appearing in the 0.14.0 Beta builds. 99% of the keys are dead and I have the settings matched up to the type of keyboard I have.
This is now also confirmed on the RCA Viking Pro 10.1 Edition running Android 5.0.
This happens to me in 0.14.0! wasd & esc is working but other keys are not.
0.14.1 - Still some Keyboard for Android support bugs, namely:
In summary the keyboard and mouse controls on Android do not offer the same functionality as the Win 10 version
They are not dead but you need to settings your keyboard at tablet settings and MCPE options by OPTIONS > KEYBOARD LAYOUT > "QWERTY" (RECOMMENDED).It is a trick but for working it you must use keyboard and mouse combination.
1.Go to tablet settings.Find Language&Input.
2.Make sure you choose external keyboard (not Google Keyboard) and set it to USA or International mode (QWERTY)
3.Play MCPE,go to OPTIONS > KEYBOARD LAYOUT (find it yourelf choose middle box) > tap "QWERTY"
It's work for me.
Keyboard layout should like this:
W,A,S,D=key for your movement (CTRL+W/double tap W=sprinting)
Q=Throwing item (CTRL+Q=throw all items in hotbar)
E=open iventory
Z=open status effect (I'm not sure yet,I forgot)
C=destroy blocks nearby only (if split mode is on)
T=Open chat
Esc=used as exit
SPACE=jump (double tap SPACE=fly mode in creative,hold SPACE=flying up)
left SHIFT=sneaking (hold left SHIFT=flying down,does not working since 0.15.0 beta till now,0.15.1.2 update)
Fix for keyboard issue only with 4 Pin Detachable physical keyboard and mouse/touchpad combo
Change tablet language&input settings under physical keyboard (only pops up when the keyboard is attached) to US International as the language. Then enter MCPE settings and change your keyboard settings to QWERTZ and then back to QWERTY and all keys work as they should on Windows 10 version on Minecraft. However the mouse functionality is still not working correctly. The mouse on touch works the exact same as with your finger, click drag rather than drag around and then click to break and place blocks. Please fix the mouse lol
Please respond and add the current version if you can reproduce this issue.
Affects 0.16.0 Beta 1 - Particularly annoying as commands cannot be edited with the backspace key.
Reopening as many of the key functions are still missing,
As of 0.17.0.2 this issue is mostly resolved:
These functions mentioned above now work (not exhaustive):
One issue still remaining is left SHIFT to fly down,which still does not work.
edit: Return and backspace keys only work intermittently also.
Before 14 or 15,SHIFT button to fly down works but all changed when mcpe come with exclusive version that include when you tap fly down,the player crouch (can be seen if play multiplayer).
Affects 1.0.0 - Keyboard keys also can't be reassigned on Android with external keyboard.
Also, can't use any mouse on a chromebook.
I made another report where I still find some of the mentioned problems here and others,
MCPE-20741.Same issue in 1.1 with both bluetooth and apple connection keyboard.
Resolving this issue as fixed, as the issues raised in the description have been fixed for some time.
For the remaining issues, please refer to
MCPE-24240.This is still an issue, not resolved. Tested on s8+, only bottom row of keys and arrow keys work as valid replacements.
