Bump. Anybody have any suggestions for this?
For me in particular, it's a P.I.T.A. to not have a hardware TAB key inside of the microb web browser. My goal here is to be able to navigate a web page stylus-free. I was taking a look at /usr/lib/microb-engine/chrome/toolkit/content/global/platformHTMLBindings.xml, but it appears you can only bind keypresses to commands, not other keypresses or keycodes.
Now that I've
turned off spatial navigation
, I can't use the N810 keyboard to move between links/text fields/buttons. Pressing "Chr" to bring up the software TAB key appears to only work in text fields, so this is not a solution.
One scenario where this is obvious is right here on the ITT forums with thread page numbers. Before I turned off spatial navigation, to go to the next page in a thread I would use my fat thumb to highlight a page number. Oftentimes, I would end up highlighting the wrong one. At that point, though, I could amend this by using the hardware arrow buttons to get the correct page number. But I can no longer do that! The next best alternative is to be able to use TAB and SHIFT-TAB, which the N810 keyboard does not have.
