            <title>[MCPE-844] Keyboard support is a must for Pocket Edition on Android Google TV devices</title>
                <link>https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-844</link>
                <project id="10200" key="MCPE">Minecraft (Bedrock codebase)</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;Google TV devices are the cheapest Android devices ever. This year, a lot of extremely cheap ($50) Google TV boxes started flooding the world and they are very performant - typically, they have 2 core CPU @ 1.6GHz, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of flash, HDMI with full HD video output, ...  a great platform for playing Minecraft pocket edition.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, as Google TV boxes do not have any touch screen (they use TV as displays), it is not possible to play the current Minecraft pocket version on them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The mouse is supported partially - the left+move works for &quot;look around&quot;, the middle button does and action (digging, placing a block).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But it is not possible to start moving.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As an Android programmer, I guess that adding the keyboard support for basic moves is trivial, 10 minutes work, which would allow the Pocket edition to be played on all Android devices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am considering this as Pocket edition bug, because Android Compatibility Definition Document (CDD) does not require an Android device to have a touch screen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;P.S.: I found similar report here: &lt;a href=&quot;https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MCPE-543&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MCPE-543&lt;/a&gt; but there, it was worded as feature request and refused as such.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;ul class=&quot;alternate&quot; type=&quot;square&quot;&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Mouse only mimics touch screen gsteures/movements, does not move camera without clicking&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;On keyboard, only WASD and Esc work (needs space for jump, E for inventory ect.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;


&lt;p&gt;In summary the keyboard and mouse controls on Android do not offer the same functionality as the Win 10 version&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

&lt;ul class=&quot;alternate&quot; type=&quot;square&quot;&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;android 5.0 moto x 2nd gen&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;android 4.4.2 nexus 7 1st gen&lt;/li&gt;

This could be enabled in the options and allow users to use WSAD and the mouse. Also, can you update the issue for 0.7.1?&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

&lt;p&gt;Maybe this feature can be ported back from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/2565&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;Minecraft Pi Edition&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
