Im sure this has been asked before but I cannot find an answer after searching through 16+ pages of searches.

I love the full screen thumb board but I cannot figure out how to do a tab for tab completion. It is a pain to have to switch back to the small screen just to hit tab. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forum, Micah.

You basically have three choices here.

Hack the full screen keyboard and change one of the keys to a Tab key.

Use Xmodmap and temporarily change one of your hardware buttons to a Tab key.

Or permanently alter one of your hardware buttons by editing your rx-44 file.

Tell me which one you prefer and I'll help you out.

Okay.

What key would you like replaced?

Also, what language are you using for the keyboard?

I'll post back a solution/file for you tomorrow night.

So you don't want an apostrophe key anymore?

Is that correct?

This is turning out to be much more difficult than what I thought it would be.

I'm not finding anything on what to type in the en_US.xml file so I can compile it back to a .vkb file that will be usable.

Right now, clicking on the Tab key just types out the word Tab.

Probably not what you want here.

I emailed the author so maybe I'll hear back from him or perhaps someone else here can jump in and help.
