Cannot find "-" on the pinephone keyboard

The use of the F8 or F10 produce the "+". Finally, the use of F1 or F2 produce the "|". Everything else on the keyboard appears to work as well as the charging and disconnect of my pinephone from charging using the keyboard battery. Am I overlooking something and why is there redundancy in some of the symbols produced using the F keys? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I described this problem in post 1 and post 5 of this thread,

I use ManjaroARM, but I think this is the kernel keyboard driver, not specific to an OS. I show the two layers of symbols you get with Fn-Num Key and Shift-Fn-Numkey and their redundancies.


The fix for this is installing the userspace driver which gets you what is printed on the keys and f-Keys using the Pine key + num key. A method for doing this for Mobian is described here:
