Android app -> Command Key on Mac
Hi, there! I recently switched over from an iPad to an Android tablet for the foreseeable future, and am currently using the bluetooth keyboard I originally used with the iPad, which has a Command key. The command key triggers Google Assistant on the tablet. I do still need to remote into a Mac, which was successful.
Regarding the command key, though, is there any equivalent key programmed into the Jump Android app that I can type into the Bluetooth keyboard for Cmd-C, Cmd-Q, etc, without having to tap the on-screen Command button? At present, typing the command key just launches Google Assistant, and if the Assistant is disabled in Android's settings, nothing happens in Jump.
Thanks!

I encountered the same issue and managed get around it by using a key mapping app (the one i used was just called Key Mapper) to map Meta Left to hold itself, it doesn't make any sense but I think somehow it's preventing the OS action. So now Windows + C on the keyboard inside jump desktop does a copy instead of opening the contacts app on Android. The only thing I still can't map is the Fn key. Also not sure if relevant to you or not, but couldn't get it working on Samsung Dex mode.

@Sep I just had to create an account here just to say THANK YOU — seriously, thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙌 Your hint was an absolute life-saver. And the best part: it doesn’t just work for Jump Desktop, it works across all remote access solutions to reach an OSX machine from my foldable phone with a hardware keyboard. I can’t believe it — I’ve been searching for days for a solution and this is just amazing! 🎉
