My kingdom for a pipe! Seriously, that's the #1 annoyance on my n810. So much so that I went and bought a bluetooth keyboard. (Second up is lack of { and }; you're not properly lazy until you do that to save retyping a bunch of junk).

The tab isn't too bad; I just got used to hitting the on-screen button with my thumb or finger.

But having to close the keyboard, tap the xterm to get the on-screen keyboard, select other keyset, select symbols, peck out the | is beyond annoying.

Hmm. Perhaps I should have spoken up sooner.
