No problem sulu - I've fixed monoblocks in wiki article (+ some minor typos, discovered during doing so). By the way, I think it's not a bug in Mediawiki - it's a feature While using #, every new line is recognized as end of 'counting', so it does for 'shortcut' way of inserting monospace (separated by new lines, and prefixed by double space). Using <pre></pre> (and avoiding any new liners, <pre> insert new line on it's own!) fixes the problem.

During our latest research on xkb, I got idea, on how it may be possible to direct copy our Maemo (manually modified, as in Wiki article "Hardware keyboard remapping") keymap into ED - if proper ED xkb folder is basically Maemo one, maybe overwriting ED's rx-51 by our modified one, via...
Code:
cp -f /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51/.debian/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51
... from within Maemo (as root, with ED partition/image mounted), would work?

And guess what, it *does*! So now, everyone can use own Maemo hardware keyboard mapping - even most fancy one - inside LXDE. Every special character, symbol or 'command' (for example, TAB) work flawlessly! Just remember, to set correct setxkbmap inside LXDE (via autostart script, or manually) - for example, my custom Maemo keymap, where I 'binded' dead_ogonek as 'blue arrow' + shift + a for pl keyboard, works with:
Code:
setxkbmap pl
only (so, basically, everything is as it should be - there is no problem, if someone want to bind special characters to 'generic' layout as well - everything just works like with Maemo hardware keyboard remapping).

I'll test external keyboard tomorrow, but I'm 100% sure, that everything we need to get exact same result as with extkbd in Maemo, is to do to /.debian/usr/share/X11/xkb exactly same thing, as extkbd does to /usr/share/X11/xkb.

I'll talk with freemangordon about that, asking him to include Easy Debian support in extkbd. Now, when we understand how all of this work, it should be trivial to implement, for such talented coder.
