Some keys cannot be remapped as expected. Probably a bug. I don't know about Tab and Delete, though.

You can type

Code:

cat > /dev/null

in the terminal, and see what character sequences you get when you type Tab or Delete. Note: you may need to type Ctrl-V before the key, otherwise some keys (typically Delete, unless it no longer works) will be interpreted in a special way.

Some keys may also generate a different sequence under applications that use the application mode (such as vi?). For that, you need to test under the tack utility (select n f k in the menus). But unfortunately, tack isn't available on the N900.
