Yeah, I didn't care too much for the port itself.

All of the scrollbars was excessive for me, the screen was jittery, and yeah, I much would have preferred a virtual keyboard rather than all of the short cut keys which didn't feature all of them. I never did figure out how to hold two weapons in that port.

Xkbd can be found here:

It fixes a bug in the 2008 Diablo OS so I wouldn't even mess with it on a N900 unless you're feeling frisky.

I wish someone would make a descent release of Xkbd, it's hard for me to not understand why this isn't one of the most featured requests for the tablet. Fanoush would the best person for this, but I doubt he would be willing to do so.

The author of Xvkbd, which is a much better keyboard, emailed me on how to hack it so it would be more tablet friendly. But since I can't code or compile not sure who I could hit up to do this.

I just now was thinking about having an 80x25 screen and using the zoom in and out keys during a telnet session so that it's easier on the eyes. I'm not sure if that would work though. I'll try it out and also edit the scroll margin options in Nethack to see if it's even possible.

Another possibility is to have two telnet sessions going on at the same time. One to play the game with your character zoomed in, and another one to watch your character in a normal screen mode. So basically the second Xterm window would be like a map screen.

A setup like that would be really awesome.

JC, have you tried changing the Numlock option in your config file? You would then move your character around with the alternative keys.
