I wonder if I can map a certain key on a Bluetooth controller to toggle the "Finger touch" setting natively? Likely, this key will be DPAD_UP or DPAD_LEFT. More generally, I wonder what it takes to trigger some system event in a Boox tablet using a button on a Bluetooth device.
# Why bother with toggling the "Finger touch" setting?
Even with the v3.2 firmware on a Lumi 2 tablet, I find it necessary to disable "Finger touch" when writing in the OneNote app. Either my palm is different or that the palm-rejection is not there yet, OneNote fails to take my pen-strokes almost half of the times when I write on it with my hand resting on the screen. With OneNote, well, finger touches are also needed when I need to move the canvas. Spoiled by the better palm-rejection on a Surface tablet, I tend to write and move the canvas rather frequently.
For now, to disable "Finger touch" for writing, I need to swipe down from the top of the device to summon the Drop-down panel, and then tap on the icon for Finger touch. This is fine on a 7-inch Nova air, but takes noticeably more effort on a 13-inch Lumi 2.
In an ideal case, the controller sold by Boox should have a dedicated button that toggles "Finger touch". For now, interestingly, it has a dedicated button for screenshot and another one for adjusting the contrast.
# Alternative solution with Tasker + Button Mapper
Tasker along with its touch-simulating support tools constitute one obvious solution. Yet, it still involves visually summoning the Drop-down panel and can be clunky to execute at times. Additionally, Button Mapper by flar2 is needed to trigger the Tasker event from Bluetooth devices.
