This application is very easy to install and allows to use Bépo on Android.
Thanks for this !
It took me some time to understand the wrong behaviour for the key in the top left corner on my keyboard. This should provide "$" and "#" on a Bépo keyboard and provides "ê" in my case.
My understanding of the problem, after searching the web without finding a clear answer, is that Samsung remaps two keys of « small » keyboards that do not have the "<>" key. For such keyboards the bottom left and the top left keys are swapped. These are respectively "²" and "<>" keys. I imagine that the reason is to keep the most important key "<>" and to discard the less important one : "²".
Unfortunately this remapping of the keyboard makes the important key "#$" in Bépo unavailable, as it is replaced by "êÊ".
On most keyboards, the characters of this missing key are still available through Fn+ the neighbour keys, but this is not convenient, for example to type comments in programming languages.
As many small keyboards do not offer the "<>" key directly, I was wondering if it would make sense to provide a second keymap in the same app so that people experiencing the problem have a direct solution to fix it, that is select the second bépo option that would be labelled like "French (bépo alt.) to use when $# and ê are swapped."
Best regards.
