key bar for xterm
 

It looks like the only setting possible now in xterm is changing the font ?!

How about:
- adding more keys to the bar
- hide the bar (eg: when using a bluetooth keyboard)

Those were useful things...

I'm sure Xterm can be recompiled with modified features... the joys of FOSS.

Fore example; I have an entry in 'key_labels':
whose corresponding entry in 'keys' is:
which gives me the pipe symbol.

I hope this information is useful to you in Fremantle as well.

Thanks iKneaDough! I used the Chinook gconf-editor and set up my Fremantle osso-xterm the way I liked it.

Just a note, the ~ key, which is a pain to get to on the N900 (Fn-Ctrl, screen tap on ~ key, space) is "asciitilde" in "keys".
