Using external keyboard with Android mobilephone

Sterlingtimes

I have an external Bluetooth hard keyboard, Logitech K380 which I can use with a mobile phone to help me get over a hand disability.

Please, can anyone answer this question? There are three soft buttons at the bottom of my phone: a triangle pointing backwards (presumably called a back key), a circle presumably called home key) and a square.

How would I key in each of these three soft buttons on my hard keyboard?

How would I answer a call on my hard keyboard when the green circle appears (that is normally swiped)?

I doubt you can remap them. They are core to the Android OS
If someoner developed an app for it,then I would epxct it to require a rooted handset.

Edit: maybe not. not delved too deep

Thank you, both. The keyboard usefully does appear to recognise Android features, but the apps that I have found to permit the phone to be answered by the home button do not work. Consequently, the phone works well with the keyboard but I still cannot find a way of answering the phone using the keyboard. I think I have to mark this one down as a failure.
