Description of Computer shortcut keys for Android simulator

Home key (small house key)

It's good to remember that the home key is mapped on the keyboard.

Menu key

The keys for opening the menu, the F2 key is mapped on the keyboard, and the PgUp key is also available. In addition, look at the meaning of the original English, it seems that the key on some models will be designed to be left software (softkey)

Start key

I didn't find the key in the emulator or the G1 on the real machine. The mapping is SHIFT+F2 or PGDN, and some models are designed to be right soft keys (R softkey).

Back key

Returns a key that the user returns to the previous UI or exits the current program. The ESC key is mapped on the keyboard.

Call/dial key (Phone key)

Answer the call or start the Dial panel, which is the most basic function key of a phone. The PC keyboard is mapped to the F3 key.

Hangup/light off key (hanging machine key)

Hang up the phone or turn off the backlight. Keyboard mapping F4 key.

Search Key

Quickly open the Search dialog box in the app that provides the search feature, such as in browser, where you can quickly open the address lookup bar. Keyboard mapping F5.

Power down key (power off)

The power button that corresponds to the upper-left edge of the simulator, but it seems useless to press this key on the simulator. Keyboard mapping F7.

Volume up (Increase volume)

Keyboard mapping ctrl+5, you can also use the "+" key of the small numeric keypad.

Volume Down (Decrease volume)

Keyboard mapping Ctrl+6, you can also use the "-" key of the small numeric keypad.

Camera Key

Keyboard mapping ctrl+f3. But maybe I have a problem with it, and it doesn't seem to be responding to this shortcut on the simulation.

Switch screen Orientation (rotary)

Rotate the emulator screen orientation, keyboard mapping ctrl+f11. This is a very useful and commonly used shortcut key, almost all applications will be affected by the screen orientation of the layout changes, in the development process, it is important to test screen orientation compatibility.

Cell Networking on/off (mobile network switch)

The mobile network referred to here refers to the GPRS/3G data network, which does not affect the GSM network. This shortcut is useful for writing web-based applications, and can be used to test for abnormal network outages. Keyboard mapping F8

Code Profiling

I do not know why this thing-.-, shortcut key F9. English Original: F9 (only with-trace startup option)

Fullscreen mode (full screen)

A useless chicken function. Maybe it's a bit of a help to a game with a more granular test screen. Shortcut keys are loved by everyone alt+enter.

Trackball Mode (trackball)

This is a very useful feature, after pressing F6, you can open the trackball mode, and the upper left corner of the simulator will show a small trackball. By moving the mouse, you can simulate the rotation of the trackball. It is very convenient for testing applications that utilize trackball operations.

Trackball mode temporaily (temporary trackball)

This function is interesting, if you have a relatively short use of trackball operation, then you can press and hold the DELETE key to slide the mouse. Releasing the delete key automatically ends the trackball mode.

Four-directional key and center key

Corresponding keyboard four direction key and enter key, of course also can use numeric keypad, keypad_5 corresponding center key.
