Hello guys, I recently discovered TVPaint and thought about using it to learn the 12 principles of animation on my Samsung Galaxy Pro 12.2 from 2014 and this device runs TVPaint smoothly well for my happiness!

So I buy a very cheap Bluetooth keyboard to take advantage of shortcuts and make things faster as well, but in my tests and verification for my surprise only inside TVPaint the "CTRL" key does not work properly, inside other Apps such Google Chrome, Text Editor the CTRL key works fine.

So I make another test on my cellphone and the results were exactly the same, unfortunately.

If I go to the shortcut options and press the CTRL the key recognizable by the App is "`" booth on my Samsung Galaxy and my Xiaomi cellphone, also, it's the same as the "Esq" key the TVPaint understand "`"

Another test inside TVPaint Android App, if I try to save the file, select the name holding shift and press "CTRL" the name just erase like a delete key.

I don't think it's a bug or anything, I believe the developer just make a little mistake or didn't think about the integration of an external keyboard for Android devices.

More tech information about the devices used to help improve the App, both have the same issue.

Currently working on the support for CTRL on Android.
Just wondering : has anyone ever been able to use the CTRL Key in TVPaint for Android ?
