See if you can type this: ~user

The symbol before user is a tilde. It is on the Virtual Keyboard, but it doesn't work on mine. I would like to know if others have the problem as well.
Yep, I can type that by keying in:
~<space>user

Edit...
By this I mean entering the "~" character on the symbol OSK.

As les_garten says, if you want a tilde without it being an accept, type tilde then space. The space will be discarded, but it will make the tilde work.

For tab, many applications (including Xterminal) recognize control-I.

Roger

Mostly good impressions. I've only installed official applications from Maemo Select and Extras but am getting messages saying not enough memory. I'm trying a reboot but have to do some work soon.
For anyone wondering, I removed the friend IM aggregator widget and rebooted and no more problems with the memory message. I don't know if that was the problem but it mention problems with messages, so that was my guess.

writing this from my brand new N900. Wuhu!

One problem: My operator id is shown two times, next to each other on the desktop ?

Like this: http://www.fonearena.com/blog/wp-con...nboxing_31.jpg

Also, id doesn't show any cell id?

Is this a bug ?

See this thread for XTerm customisation tips.

See this thread for re-mapping the keyboard.
