Bluetooth Shortcut Keyboard guides
Turn an Android phone into a shortcut keypad for a compatible computer. Choose a setup guide or learn how to build and protect your everyday controls.
These guides describe the prepared 2.46 source. Its Google Play publication is not confirmed. The Store link opens the current public release, whose controls and available features may differ. Device and host compatibility vary.
Find a use for your phone
Start with the job you want to do. Each guide includes a small button layout, setup steps and the limits that matter for that task.
Turn an old Android phone into a Bluetooth shortcut keypad
Reuse a compatible old Android phone for everyday computer shortcuts, starting with a small set of buttons and a Bluetooth compatibility check.
Use an Android phone as a presentation shortcut remote
Make Next and Previous slide buttons on your Android phone, then check them in the actual slideshow before presenting.
Build an Android shortcut keypad for video editing
Make a small phone-based control board for your editor's playback, marks and navigation commands using keyboard shortcuts you have checked.
Make an Android shortcut pad for photo editing and design
Put your most-used photo and design commands on a phone, with a starter board for tools, zoom and undo that follows your application's key settings.

Make an Android shortcut panel for streaming
Create a small phone-based panel for streaming-software hotkeys, starting with a local rehearsal and clear controls for scenes and audio.
Use an Android phone for customer-support text shortcuts
Build short, reusable US-layout text buttons for support replies, while reviewing each draft before sending and keeping private customer data out of the deck.
Setup and compatibility
Start with Android setup, then check the Mac or Windows guide for the computer you want to control. Bluetooth HID support and computer policy still apply; the app cannot override a blocked Bluetooth connection.
Use an Android phone as a Bluetooth keyboard for a computer
Pair Bluetooth Keyboard Shortcut with a Mac or Windows PC, choose the correct shortcut keys, and check your first input safely.
Build a Mac shortcut keypad with an Android phone
Set Mac modifier keys, pair an Android shortcut keypad, and create a small deck for text editing or app-specific commands.
Use an Android phone as a Windows shortcut keypad
Pair with Windows, choose Ctrl and Win modifiers, and build an Android shortcut deck for repeatable everyday actions.
Shortcuts and everyday use
Build your own shortcut buttons, choose mouse controls, organise profiles and keep a backup of your layouts.
Create shortcut buttons and small macros on Android
Build a button with key presses, typed text and delays, then test its tap and long-press actions on your connected computer.
Use an Android phone as a Bluetooth mouse and trackpad
Move, click and scroll on a computer with Mouse, adjust pointer speed, and combine a trackpad with keys in Bluetooth Keyboard Shortcut.
Set up Air Mouse and phone volume-button controls
Use hold-to-move Air Mouse or map phone volume keys to computer actions, with clear start, stop and hardware requirements.
Organise shortcut decks with profiles, pages and layouts
Save a working deck as a profile, load preset packs safely, and choose a grid that keeps your Android shortcut controls readable.
Back up shortcut decks locally or with Google Drive
Compare local JSON export and optional Drive sync, understand replacement on restore, and protect profiles and private macro content.
Fix Bluetooth keyboard pairing and input problems
Separate unsupported phones, connection failures, wrong shortcut keys and missing input with the app’s step-by-step recovery controls.
Check compatibility before you start
A compatible Android phone sends keyboard and mouse input over Bluetooth. No computer companion app is required, but the host must allow Bluetooth input devices. Shortcuts act in the focused app, and text entry depends on the selected keyboard layout.
