Note 1: It is not necessary to call out the virtual gamepad for HardKey Mappings to take effect.
Note 2: To use the virtual gamepad, the target apps must allow calling out soft keyboard.
- For app lacking option to launch soft keyboard, try long pressing menu key.
- Some app took over the menu key action, try switch to another task, long pressing menu to call up soft keyboard, then switch back.
