PinePhone Keyboard

[Sloth]

A couple of questions about keys and report of a bug of sorts.

What do the pine cone key (below the Tab key) and the AltG (to the right of the space bar) do? I have tried them with other key combinations to no avail. I was hoping a pine cone + AltG combination shot a powerful laser beam from the torch light on the back of the phone but was sadly disappointed.

A bug: A combination of Fn + 1 should produce a "|" (pipe symbol) but it generates a "\" (backslash) just like a Fn + 2 combination. Maybe there is a fix for this.

Thanks for the responses.

I believe the pine key is the meta/super key. Altg is alt graph, it types different characters depending on what keyboard layout you're using. Eg - accented letters à, è, ì, ò, ù. 

To get "|" it's shift + fn + 1.
Same for ~ _ + it's just shift + fn + key.

This factory keymap has some details.
