Description
A recent pr added the android keyboard for the menu key entry options. I'd like a option to turn overlay "default" keyboard (the one built in neo retropad, not the core specific ones) into using the same if possible.
I suspect it won't be possible because those keyboards output strings and not keycodes, but hey, better than asking for a myriad of usability tweaks on the current vk first.

Research direction
Start by tracing the recent Android keyboard change for menu key entry options, then compare it with the default Neo Retropad overlay keyboard path. Determine whether the OS keyboard's string output can be converted for game input; done means an option exists and the behavior is documented for supported cases.
