Avoid missunderstanding how to use ADB Command (design improvement) #4

First A big thank you for your great work.
I want to suggest a little improvement for the keyboardswap2 plugin.

Problem in short:
For me (I am not an android developer) it was not obvious that I have to put a SPACE between keyboardswap2 and android in the pm grant command for adb shell. I found out this after checking how the manifest file (out of source code) is structured, but maybe other users will give up faster.

More details about the problem:
In the keyboardswap2 plugin instructions under no 4 the command looks like it is quite long and that there is just a linewrap. It is not easy to recognize that there should be a SPACE at the end of the line. But the correct command is:
pm grant keepass2android.plugin.keyboardswap2 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Maybe this issue is only crucial on some devices with special screen width. I use Huawei P10.

Hard and Software used
Huawei P10
VTR-L09
EMUI-Version: 8.0.0
Android-Version: 8.0.0
Screen: 1920*1080

Possible solutions:

  • make it possible to copy the command text (to send it to a computer e.g. via chat or other apps)
  • put a special character or background color for all spaces and explain this in the instructions
  • just put a hint in the instructions that there must be a SPACE between keyboardswap2 and android
