Hi cddiede.

Actually, I've had limited success getting btkb working with N9. The instructions are given in the FMC thread

"How to connect bluetooth keyboard to N9"

Unfortunately it only works as long a the VKB remains in view. That is, if you swipe the VKB off the screen, while leaving the terminal in view, you can no longer enter any keystrokes from the bluetooth keyboard! This kind of defeats the purpose as I generally would like to have a full screen in view while typing. There is a possible fix given in the thread and while I do lots of scientific programing I think it is a problem more appropriate for a skilled developer on these forums (unless you don't mind waiting 6 months for me to do it!). Also, the other thing I noticed is that I could start up some apps from the touch pad on my btkb, but, here the problem is that I could not easily control which app I started because I could not see where the cursor was! At least I think there is one! Anyways, I hope someone can tackle this soon as many would benefit...
