[maemo-developers] Maemo 5 Keymaps - The Saga of Pipe & Tab

[From: Roald de Vries]

> fn-backspace for esc, fn-enter for tab, or whatever else you want. The key is, once we figure this out, you can remap to your heart's content. ;)

ASCII has has 33 control characters, among which tab and esc. These can be typed in your terminal through control-something. For example, CTRL-I is tab, CTRL-[ is escape, CTRL-H is backspace (destructive) and CTRL-M is enter. This is not really a solution to all the problems, but at least you can type tabs without the on screen keyboard.
