Allow mapping of Samsung Galaxy side key

Open DavidEGx opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Just bought a Samsung Galaxy S22, I tried to map the side key with KeyMapper and it doesn't work. I guess you might wonder what is the side key...

If you can’t find the Power button on your Galaxy phone, don’t panic. Depending on your phone model, there won’t be a separate Power and Bixby button. Instead, they have been combined to create the Side key! This key can be programmed to perform different tasks, such as turning off your phone, calling Bixby, or opening an app.

so basically is the power button ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

Samsung allows some limited options to configure:

Side key screen config

I'd like to map side key long press to toggle torch. Not enough options in default Samsung config :( Side key press not detected In KeyMapper :(

Mapping this key should probably throw some extra warnings, especially if someone tries to map short press. That could lead to someone not being able to wake up the phone.
