Re: Using F keys
I'm not sure about F10. Part of the issue with keymaps on Maemo is that hardware keys are mapped to odd things sometimes (e.g. IIRC the zoom/volume rocker is F5/F6). I think the blue "2nd-function" key is actually mapped to Alt, or something odd; the problem then is that some characters/controls you might want to map are already mapped for a Maemo-specific function, and some phone keys are mapped to things you want, and you can't remap them for the same sort of reason.
As far as actually changing the keymaps goes, it can be done, and if you search (the forum or the general Internet), you should be able to find out how. Just be careful that you don't break preexisting functionality.
Another interesting thought: I wonder if this sort of thing could be handled in another way? e.g. in PR 1.2, Nokia set long-keypress by default to type the "blue symbol" rather than using key-repeat. I'm not sure how they've implemented this, but could a similar method be used for situations like this? I'm thinking of maybe a modifier or dead-key sort of arrangement. This wouldn't work (well, at least), but for example: [Blue]+F,[Number] == F[n]. If someone actually wants to try that, we should probably split it into a separate thread.
