I'd like to assign a new key shorcut in order to have a tab key (I use the xterm a lot). For example I'd like to have FN+Shift = Tab key. Anyone knows where the key mapping is done and how to change it?

Regards.

PS: the n810 keyboard is the worst I have seen. I which it were like the Blackberry one...

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.

Function-shift won't do it but you should be able with xmodmap to find some key combination (the info applies to the 8x0 series but you might need to check the key mappings)
