Since I have tomorrow off, I'm just about to flash my N800 with OS 2007. I know that SciTE does except the CR-LF under OS 2007 and hopefully one of these builds of Geany can run under Bora as well (or I'll try compiling something).

I'm just going to be upset that the latest Evince won't run on Bora either. And knowing my luck, neither will TiEmu, Numpty Physics, Gweled, ...

I need to buy a second N800 so I'm not spending my days off switching Maemo versions.

Thanks pipeline you made the package much better, im glad to have found the app if you want to continue packaging it i think you are doing a great job and I have very little time at present

Is there any N800 with OS2008 support?

Um. I have a very used one for sale. Just $400!

All N800s come with OS 2007, but can be freely upgraded to OS 2008.

Just download and run the Nokia Internet Tablet Software Update Wizard: http://www.nokiausa.com/A4410958

Sorry, I mean does Geany IDE work on N800 with OS2008? Is there a .deb packet for it?

Geany will work on a N800 with OS2008 just as well as on a N810, except that you will need a bluetooth keyboard or a virtual keyboard like xvkbd or xkbd.

But apparently, nobody can get the program to create a new line (via the return key) so from what I understand the program is awesome and cool, but kind of useless right now.

The debs are listed in a couple of posts in this thread. The latest ones by Pipeline are here: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...8&postcount=20

I can return to the next line using my BT IGO, but I need to press the return key like multiple times.

I just created my first "Hello World" app. Its pretty cool, but the return key needs to be pressed 5 times very fast to actually go to the next line.

Odd.. i can use return just fine with 810 keyboard i would think the same would be true for bt keyboard... perhaps different keycode though since nokia might have reversed that with DPad Enter. Geany detects my dpad enter as 'Return' and my enter keypad key as 'KP_Enter'... separate key codes.

You could remap a key like Dpad Enter (Return) to be paste and then just copy a newline and use dpad enter for return as workaround on 800. You'd do that in help menu/keyboard shortcuts.

I had thought that return didn't work at all, but after reading the above posts I have found that it does work if you press it several times rapidly. It must be some sort of timing issue because repeatedly pressing it SLOWLY does nothing even after 30+ keypresses. You have to do it really fast. WEIRD!
