Is there a keyboard shortcut (or mouse gesture) to show the desktop or to show the running programs when using some app? For the example, how to show desktop when browsing the internet to temporarily run some app and then return to the browser - when there aren't Android software keys? I've found I can display the most recent apps with Alt-TAB but that way I can only run some of the previously used apps and can't show the desktop to run some app that wasn't used before.

Similarly, there are some apps I can't exit by pressing the right mouse key (e.g. 8 Ball Pool) so the only way is to press the button on the PCB to shut down the Orange Pi PC, or to use Alt-TAB to run some of the previously used apps (if there are some).

I've just tried more than 50 times but nothing happens :-/ I've tried with both iplayuiLaunher and Google Now Launcher but it is not working.

I've at least found how to exit from some apps from which it is not possible to exit with the right click(s) (e.g. 8 Ball Pool). While holding Alt first press and release the TAB key and then press ESC.

However, I don't know how to do the same without keyboard.

Hi, I installed GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys, from the play store works OK. I used the rooted version, but it looks like there a No root version as well.

Thank you very much for the tip!! I installed Back Button (No root) from Play Store and it works OK but the soft buttons are always on the screen - even when watching TV with Kodi. I'll have to do some research to find the suitable app. Do you maybe know if/how I can root the system (without reinstalling the image) so I can try some soft key apps that require the device to be rooted? Where did you get rooted Android Image?

Regards

Edit:
Button Savior Non Root works great and has autohide + many other options for placing the soft keys.
