Ahh, yea... you guys are right... the source editor is same Scintilla control in Scite. On my 810 the keyboard is glitchy (cant do certain symbols) but i didnt realise there no vkbd support for 800.

The author just updated to version 0.14 so i did another build and included the plugins this time (ver 0.14) :

English-US Version
All Locales Version

Theres a new keyboard shortcuts option in help menu (run it in fullscreen mode) where you might be able to inject workaround for cr/lf issue. I'll try to ask Scintilla developers if they can think of a workaround for vkbd issue.

Munk : you can get to all special symbols except Ctrl'd chars in editor. Fn and Shift work if you keep button (fn or shift) held down. For ctrl chars you could jot down the first time in scribble area at bottom in message window and copy/paste but that's not good for real development and hurts to think virt kbd works in parts of the program but not the main window
