Added support for relocation with remote controlle

[DagJenssen]

Hi Osmand techs. I am Dag from Remotek AS. We make the Remotek One bluetooth handlebar controller, and with it we can control a lot of map apps, including Osmand.
But since many apps uses the letter "L" for relocating to your current position, we cannot get that function to work on Osmand which uses "C". We could make a special firmware for Osmand only, but for user simplicity, we would like to ask if you could add "L" for relocation in addition to the "C" you currently use.
Hope to hear from you.
Dag

Hi, Dag!
In OsmAnd you can change key assignments and use any available button for any present action. You can find more info here https://docs.osmand.net/docs/user/map/interact-with-map#add-action--key-asssigments

Thanks for your quick feedback.
When I look in the menu in iOS there is no more selections than to tick off to use a keyboard (None, Keyboard or WunderLINQ). No customization of each function is available.
In Android I get a list of command but they are not possible to customize. Nothing happens if I press any of the key settings. I belived they were there for information only.

Whoops. I stand corrected. I figured out how to make a new input device and customize it in Android. Sorry for not reading the manual...
But the main issue is in iOS, where we cannot customize the input. In Android we have simply keymapped the L to press the location icon with our app, but we cannot do that in iOS.
So my question remains for iOS, is it possible to add a L to the relocate function? We´ve had a few queries for this.

Yes, custom button binding and input devices are currently available only on Android, but are planned for iOS as well osmandapp/OsmAnd-iOS#2818

Thanks, looking forward to that. Until then, would it be possible to add "L" so both "L" and "C" would activate the relocation function?

Any chance for this request to be fulfilled?
