Cannot Reassign Keyboard and Mouse Controls
When selecting the keyboard and mouse controls in the settings, the controls cannot be reassigned. (Tested on Android, presumably affects other mobile devices too)
Steps to Reproduce:
- Go to Settings > Keyboard and Mouse
- Try to reassign any of the controls
- Tapping a key or mouse button does nothing
NB: This doesn't seem to affect controllers, and the keys can be reassigned on W10.
Tested on OnePlus One A0001 on Android 6.0.1 (CM13) and Samsung TabPro SM-T520 on Android 4.4.2

This also affected my RCA Galileo Pro 11.5 inch tablet with hardwired keyboard and usb ports
I have the same problem with my Pixel C tablet.
Same issue on the BlackBerry Keyone. Still an issue in 1.2.10
i have this problem because i have mcpe on my pc so i want to change the keybinds but cant
Kindle fire HD 8 (7th gen), Dell usb keyboard.
Still having it in 1.6 beta.
Affects LG Q6 on Nougat. Can select the key you want to change, but cannot interact with it to change it. 1.5 Bedrock. Not sure if relevant, but on touch control, the sneak button when tapped is a toggle, but if activated using keyboard shortcut, it is not a toggle. Is that WAI? I was hoping to change it to CAP LOCK on my bluetooth keyboard so that it would stay toggled.
pls, fix this. it's still afecting 1.6.0.30
Still a bug in version 1.8.0.11 beta...... Over one year old now.
Some useful information:
You can't navigate menu with arrows. By using full keyboard control you cant look anywhere (numpad doesn't work). Also you need to select block by touching on it, and then you can use Q and E; game locks on that block until you can't reach it. (I mean if block that you touched was in the center of screen, running and changing position does not change the selected block so you can place a block behind you,also there is an bug that you can select an floating block by toaching it, then destroy it with Q and then you can place floating sign or rail or torch with E in that position
).
By turning on full keyboard control, you need to active spilt control manually. Activating TOUCH ONLY EFFECTS HOTBAR will show the controller hints. Also you can't program keys because you can't navigate in menus.
Thanks in advance
This happens to me on my Galaxy Tab S3 connected to the keyboard via the built in keyboard pins on the bottom. Shift doesn't work to go down either, tab doesn't do previous message in chat, and enter doesn't work to send message/close chat. Happens with AND without full keyboard gameplay.
Using Blackberry KeyOne, physical keyboard works with default keybindings, but I cannot change the defaults.
hi Samuel, did you find a solution to fix this ?? i have the also problem with my Tab S3, hope it'll work soon
I can't use of Android either
Still not working on 1.10.0.3 . :/
Confirmed not fixed in beta 1.11.0.5
Any developer input?
Confirmed not fixed in beta 1.11.0.7
Same problème on IOS with an iPhone SE
Confirmed not fixed in 1.11.1
confirmed not fixed in 1.11.4
The feature you are trying to use is only available on Android devices that support it.
Affects v1.12
Sad that a two+ year old bug still hasn't been fixed, even though it was reported by a Minecraft developer.
Can confirm the same issue on the Galaxy s10. Keys cannot be changed except when toggling "Full Keyboard Layout". The numpad does not work on Full Keyboard Layout too as mentioned earlier.
It does appear to be possible to change the keys now as of my last testing on Android 8.1 on LG Q6 on Bedrock 1.14.20. HOWEVER, it does appear that at least on my Bluetooth mini keyboard, the app does appear to restrict which keys it will accept for a replacement key for a given shortcut. Not sure if that is intended or not. Most of the symbol keys will not be accepted, however it did accept a backspace key for the pick block.
This is an issue still. I was able to only get bottom row of keys to work as replacement keys in samsung dex, on s8+.
This should work on android device with android 8 which have pointer capture feature using Toolbox for MCPE support.
Despite the 1.16.230.50 changelog saying this works on any supported Android 8 and newer devices, it actually only works on Pixel 2 phones and newer (except Pixel 3 XL if the notch is disabled in Developer options), and OnePlus 6 and newer. Tested Samsung Galaxy, S9, Note9, S10, Note10, and S20 (all on Android 11, with the S9 and Note9 on Android 10), and Minecraft ignores the keyboard and mouse, despite other programs seeing it (even in Samsung DeX)
I was unable to reassign my keyboard and mouse controls on android. My mobile device is on Android 9, Huawei Y5 2019. Reproduced on the beta 1.16.230.52

in the current version 1.19.30 on Android 12 there is a spacebar bug with bluetooth keyboard & Mouse Control:
Steps to Reproduce:
as soon as you move the mouse cursor over a text field (regardless of whether it is in the inventory search field or in chat), minecraft no longer recognizes the space bar in the game.
you can no longer jump, fly, swim, or assign the button in the menu
The space bar is still recognized in chat and in the search field.
It can only be fixed with a restart until you move the mouse over a text field again. I'm playing on a galaxy tab s7 with android 12 with bluetooth mouse and keyboard. outside of minecraft the keyboard works fine.
