Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 9901.77.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.97 Safari/537.36 Platform: 9901.77.0 (Official Build) stable-channel eve Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Disable assistant key 2. Press the assistant key in a web page that captures key codes in Javascript (Example page: https://codepen.io/miduga/pen/ujolf?page=1&) What is the expected behavior? Pressing the assistant button returns a valid key code What went wrong? Nothing happens Did this work before? No Does this work in other browsers? N/A Chrome version: 62.0.3202.97 Channel: stable OS Version: 9901.77.0 Flash Version: 27.0.0.187 /opt/google/chrome/pepper/libpepflashplayer.so I am a developer trying to use the Pixelbook and found that the ctrl key is bound to a ton of built-in shortcuts. If the assistant key became usable while the assistant is disabled I could map the assistant key in my development environment (currently looking at Cloud9). I think this feature will be beneficial to a lot of people planning to use the Pixelbook for development.

Hi Denny, Yes, I think that issue is related, however the ask on that one is to support a remap in Crouton. My hope would be to get the button working under ChromeOS proper as well.

This would also be a benefit for the Chrome browsing experience on the Pixelbook. On my Mac, I used to use the meta key for combinations like meta+a (select all), meta+v (paste) and the control key for other things, like ctrl+a (jump to beginning of line), ctrl+e (jump to end of a line). This was possible within the browser on a Mac, but on the pixelbook, I've lost the ability to use the later combinations. Exposing the assistant key would allow us to have both sets of mappings like traditional OS/keyboard combos.

Being able to remap the assistance key to super/meta would be fantastic for me. When using systems remotely(eg webex/teamviewer/rdp/joinme/etc), the lack of a super/meta key is a real pain.

This can be closed as a dupe of: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=784857 The claim is made here that the other ticket is specific to crouton but that's not the case. #784857 is intended to provide the option to remap the Assistant the Key to work throughout ChromeOS. |
