Add alternate boss key operation without long press? about matvt HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks @jeffs555 for trying the app and reporting enhancements.

allow operation without needing the long press

Sure, Will keep it in mind and add when I get time. This is already supported on Android TVs with a full TV remote, so I hope it won't be difficult to make it customizable.

In the meanwhile, do you know if the Samsung TV remote can toggle info keycode in Tanix Tx6?
The info button on a normal Android TV does the exact functionality (i.e toggle mouse mode and dpad mode without long press). Do let me know if the info button approach works / is feasible.

The Samsung TV remote does have an info button, but when pressed it passes a keycode 56 over HDMI-CEC to the Tanix box. I couldn't find any button on the Samsung TV remote or on the Tanix remote that generates the info keycode 165 at the Tanix box. Don't think that Tanix has a full size remote for any of their boxes.

Thanks again.

okay, no issues.
Since bossKey needs to be able to now toggle between all three (dpad mode, mouse mode and scroll mode), it'll probably be not as friendly as the long press for enable / disable and short press for toggle

I'm keeping it as a three way toggle, cycling in the order:
Dpad mode => Mouse Mode => Scroll Mode on every button press

The above functionality can be enabled via a checkbox in settings GUI from MATVT v1.04 onwards (download from https://github.com/virresh/matvt/releases/tag/v1.0.4 )

Please try and let me know if this solves your use case
