Keys "1" and "2" are mapped for left/right. A request was made to change the mapping of those keys to the left/right arrow keys, but obviously that hasn't happened.
Would be nice to have the option of custom mapping the keyboard.
It would be nice to have some custom keymapping like the Autokit APK has for the CarPlay dongle, but I came up with a kind of barbaric solution that has worked so far for me.
This involves editing the default keyboard configuration, so your left and right arrow keys will no longer work as left and right arrow keys in the OS, but OAP will treat them as 1 and 2 so you can move left and right inside of OAP.
sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
In the bottom section of this file, you will find the functions that correspond to the arrow keys when pressed. You just need to edit the left and right keys as shown below.
key <UP> { [ Up ] };
key <LEFT> { [ KP_1 ] };
key <DOWN> { [ Down ] };
key <RGHT> { [ KP_2 ] };
