Hi Walter,
Here in the Pine64 shop it says:
https://pine64.com/product/pinephone-pin...oard-case/
PINEPHONE & PINEPHONE PRO KEYBOARD
- Compatible with PinePhone and PinePhone Pro
- it furthermore says:
«Not all mobile OSes support the keyboard case. At launch the keyboard is supported by: postmarketOS, Manjaro Linux, DanctNIX (Arch Linux) and Mobian»
- I have a Pinephone which was shipped with Ubports and it did not worked for me
- Then I flashed postmarketOS on it and it worked, but not the special keys and the function keys.
- As mentioned above the only solution to get those working is as far as I know postmarket OS SXMO
- To have all the keys working is highly desirable for applications like Abiword, Gnumeric and LibreOffice
- Abiword only has 7 sortcut keys, but I do not know if the arrow keys work without Postmarket OS SXMO and additional special keys which are required.
- Gnumeric supports functions keys and also here it is desirable to have all the keys.
- eventually it is worth to have a multi boot setup with a special distro with Abiword, Gnumeric and Libre Office and Postmarket OS SXMO to have all they keys of the Pinephone keyboard.
Greetings,
Peter
